Sorry to hear this sad news, SB. We have 3 of our own with one being 13 years old. I dread the day he leaves us

Thanks Guys, your thoughts and words are really appreciated.

It's only been 12 or so hours since his death and I'm still having trouble coming to terms with his loss.

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 our special friends
so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill or 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 gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing;
they each 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. His bright eyes are intent;
his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run 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 to each other 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........

Hey Seb,

You know why I rang last night, it's not always that easy to express sincere sympathy in writing.

You are a good mate and a great member of the Forum, but I have to say you're a bit **** at maths! How many other people rang you from NZ?

I think you'll find that I'm one in four million.

All the best my friend, I know very well the loss that you are feeling, be it a friend, a family member, or a much loved pet, the hurt will pass and the fond memories will always remain.

I'm picking that there may be space for another dog in your lives, and what a lucky dog that will be.

Cheers mate.

A truly beautiful thought! It brought tears to my eyes (again!)

Thanks for that Yumi

Like to add my condolences SB.

Oscar looks like a wonderful wonderdog and it's plain from the pictures he felt very loved.
