Rainbow Bridge..I hope it's true

That's a tough one Tony. You know going in you're probably go to lose them some day, they just don't live as long as people do. Doesn't make it any easier when they do go. You can't find a better companion than a dog. They don't care what you look like, don't care how smart you are, just want to spend time with you.

Sory for your loss my friend...had a German Shepard too, he was called Ringo.
Died at age of 13, in my arms, I cried for a week.

Sorry about Ringo. I know the feeling all too well. I've had German Shepards since I was a kid. This one really tore my heart out. A while back, I had 7 of them die within a 2 year period from old age. Worst time of my life.

Tony, I am so sorry to hear about your dog. There is never a truer, more loving friend than a dog. They pick you up when your down, they listen to your every word and they always seem to put a smile on your face.

For you Tony.....

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, 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 times 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 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....

That poem makes my eyes leak.

I knew you were an old 'softy' Tony. I know my eyes will leak when we lose Annie.

A real man knows when to cry.
