As I mentioned, my friend Amy had to have her adored Lexi-Dog put to sleep on Monday. Today, I received a two-page memorial from Amy, containing The Rainbow Bridge, A Dog's Prayer, and three beautiful pictures of Lexi.
I have never liked small dogs, but Lexi looked like a mini version of the younger of my two dogs, and was just the sweetest, smartest little thing. She was not even remotely yappy, was very smart and a total cuddle bunny.
Nothing but a very long time will ease the ache that comes from the loss of a pet. They're here for such a short time, but give and receive so much love in their little time that a part of us dies when they do. I'm not much for prayer, but I do pray that the rainbow bridge really exists, and that there will be many joyful reunions.
Until that time, Lexi, may you run free.

see this is why i dont know if i could handle having an animal - i mean lets say i get Loco the cat and something where to happen to the poor thing - i would be heartbroken...
i mean the story above the feral cat has me thinking of figuring out how to tame and adopt the poor little thing...
i mean if anyone has ever seen the episodes of the Honeymooners where Ralph desides to bring a dog to the pound because he doesn't want it around, only to have a change of heart and bring that dog and about three others home with him - thats me all over....
sigh...
can't even commit to a blasted animal....
*hugs*
