My dog is in Heaven


I will sorely miss my dog Shelby. She was the "wonderdog" known by most who ever met her. My heart aches for her but she had a wonderful 15+ years of life. May she rest in peace. Some Nomads met her and know how sweet she was. I will miss her so much.

It's always painful to lose a best friend..She'll be in good company.. We lost our little 15 year old Bichon (keela) ..2yrs ago and we still miss her..Know that you're not alone and when the sorrow abates a little ..Remember the good times and all the joy she gave you..

Bob - I am so sorry about losing your Shelby. I share your love for these special friends God gives us. Take some comfort in the special memories you shared together. Sounds to me like Shelby was a lucky dog...

It is always painful to loose our pets. They have full-fledged status as loved family members. There is some solace in remembering that they had a good long life with us.

Can you imagine the torment the mayor of the small Maryland town and his wife and mother in law went through yesterday( 8-7) when jack booted "law enforcement" thugs on a botched drug raid kicked in his door and shot his two young labs in his home- one that was running away- The punks "felt threatened". The police refuse to apologize and say they were justified, even though the family had no connection with the weed at all. Unfortunately this is all to prevalent today. Its past time to clean house.

Bob , I'm so very sorry for your loss.


May this give you some solace in your time of grief, God will take care of Shelby until you get there,k

The Rainbow Bridge Story

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and time gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

THEN YOU CROSS RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER....
