STARFISH SWEETHEART CROSSES THE RAINBOW BRIDGE NOVEMBER 2013

On 8 November, Marti writes: We are saddened to share the heartbreaking news that Sweetheart passed away recently. She went downhill quickly. She stopped eating, she began vomiting, she was in in terrible pain, and she was so weak she could barely stand. Our first inclination was to have her hospitalized in the ICU, but our veterinarian (whom we trust completely) told us that, at best, being hospitalized and prodded and poked would only result in a very short reprieve. So, we made the sad decision to put Sweetheart to sleep instead. Her cause of death was acute kidney failure, complicated by undiagnosed lung cancer (which we just recently discovered because our previous vet had missed it on an x-ray several years ago). Sweetheart went peacefully, and we knew we did the right thing. But we miss her terribly. With us, Sweetheart enjoyed two full years of love, good food, and quality medical care. Every day was a gift; we only wish she could have stayed with us for longer. We never have enough time with our beloved animals, no matter how long they are with us. But we are grateful that Sweetheart had the opportunity to know how it felt to be loved

RAINBOW BRIDGE 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, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together . . . Author Unknown
