I wish I had not looked. I have to decide next week if Bella's medication fails to let her go with the dignity I always promised all of mine when I took them in.
My name is from my beautiful Smudge and Pickles my kittens I lost to Cardiomyopathy.

Pickles died in my arms having waited from me to come back from my stables, as I picked him up to kiss him hello he fell back into my arms and died.

I do believe there is a rainbow bridge and that Im going to meet each and everyone of my furry babies again one day.

sorry to go on but feeling a little low at the prespect of maybe  losing Bella

That was amazing, made me cry but made a bit of sense.
Its good to know our pets are happy and  :'(waiting on the bridge for us. My Tigre died in 1999, aged 23- I know he is there.

i have to admit that I rarely look at that, I might do on anniversaries, but there are a few too many of them now, so maybe not. When I was in london last year (the weekend after having Pebbles pts), my friend text me on the Sun morning to tell me there was a rainbow in my area, and the last third over my house - I thought it was lovely, and it brought a tear to my eye - but when I spoke to her about it later, she didn't know the story of Rainbow Bridge. If I had been home that weekend, I would never have seen that rainbow, as I dont leave hte house most Sun mornings, and it was the friend I got Pebbles off, so she meant something to both of us.

Rainbows make me so sad now, cos there was one over Kockas grave not long after she went to the Bridge and then I saw one on way home a couple of months later and the end was only about 30 ft infront of me. It was just like I could walk up and step onto it.

Oh my.
Bawled like a baby.

Miss you Ebony. I can't remember where I posted a version of Rainbow bridge now. But it was about a little black male cat?
Will have to look it up. I like to think Ebony is waiting for me.
I always think there must have been something more I could have done

That is so nice and so sad at the same time.  I've tried to watchi t numerous times before but have to switch it off as i get too upset.  Today is the first time i've watched it all the way through and didn't cry right until the end.

It is nice to think they're waiting for us at the bridge!!

The Rainbow Bridge is still close to my heart, ever since I lost my little hamster Napoleone just over a year ago.  He lived almost 3 years, incredibly long for a hammy.  I hope and believe he is now happy and playing over the yonder with many of your departed feline loved ones...(yeah!  Over the rainbow bridge hamsters and kitties can be friends, too, right???  How lovely is that, just to imagine... :))

I've never read this poem before, but it is so lovely.  :owwww:

I'd love to think my little ones are somewhere waiting for me.  I don't believe God would bring such loving, devoted creatures into our lives if we weren't to be with them again someday.

Every time I watch that I cant stop crying.

Its so sad, but its comforting to hope that we will all be reunited one day.

The love we have for our animal friends is so much more than is sometimes realised.

Never got around to looking at this part of Purrs cos I knew I would cry my eyes out - yes, I was right, 1/2 box of tissues used again.  I'll never look at a rainbow in the same way again.  Always hoped there was a pot of gold at the end BUT I'm a lot happier knowing our animals are at the end of it - worth a hell of a lot more than a pot of gold.

Just watched The Rainbow Bridge, and although I read from others that it was hankies at the ready, I did not think I would get upset. But how wrong I was. I started crying just out of no where while watching. But I found it very nicely done. The next time I see a rainbow, I will never look at in the same way again but I will find it comforting.
:candle:

Our cat Smokey (nickname "baby"), although Smokey was all my Mum as she followed her everywhere in the house, had to be put down a few years ago, aged 13 years old. Towards the end she developed diabetes, which we were given appropiate medication for her. Sadly it did not work a couple of weeks later, as warned by the vets, so my Mum had to make a decision to put her to sleep so she wouldn't suffer any longer, as she wasn't herself anymore and wasn't happy because her heart was strained through the fits she'd been having.

We always hoped when it came to the crunch of her not being with us any longer, that it would be peaceful at home, but sadly that was not really an option. Even though she was Mummy's Girl, as wellas my Mum missing her greatly and never forgets her, I miss her very much too. :(

thankyou Purrs in our hearts xx

Oh my....how wonderful is that?!  I have been crying since Crookie died, and thats just made me cry even harder.....

I want to add Crookie to the gallery but am having such trouble...perhaps I'm too upset to think straight...

Thanks again for posting that though, its a lovely thought.

I'd never heard of Rainbow Bridge before, just watched it & had to stop myself from crying my eyes out (at work so would never be able to explain!!).

We lost our Angel coming up on a year (1st May) and I miss him so much every day, but its really comforting to know that he will be waiting for us at the bridge.

My sister-in-law & her OH have just had to make the awful decision to have their dog Arwen pts so I'm gonna e-mail this to her, I know it will give her some comfort as well.

I like to think theres a really special place for our pets when they pass away. To me animals are sacred.

They know no hate, and will only know love and loyalty unconditionally...

i lost my little moggs 5 months ago i had her for 19 years, i had to get her pts as much as it broke my heart. i knew it was time to let her go as she did not fight as she always did at the vets it was like she was saying its time to let me go i am tired, so i stayed with her and held her telling her how much i loved her while her eyes closed, my heart was heavy and i forgot how many tears could be shed, i do believe we will all see our loved babies again they will be there waiting on us, what a lovely thought that is x

this is lovely. it makes me cry, but it is lovely.
it's nice to think of them all waiting there on the bridge. I think my little guy knew he was going onto the bridge that morning, even though he was only a kitten still.
