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 and 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 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. The bright
eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away 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...
When Bunnies Pray
Dear God: Thank you for the Bunny
Bunch and all the volunteers, fosterers, members and all the bunderful hoomans
that donate money to help da bunnies. Without them who knows where we’d be.
Dear God: In heaven, is there unlimited
fields of scrumptious timothy and oat hay that all bunnies need daily for their
teeth and GI tract?
Dear God: Do you grow alfalfa in
heaven too? If so, can I have all the alfalfa I want?
Dear God: When I come to heaven will
you keep me in a small cage?
Dear God: Will you dump me after
a while or will you keep me and love me forever?
Dear God: Will I have to be groomed
in heaven? Oh nuts, I was afraid you were going to say that <thump>
Dear God: Will I ever go hungry,
thirsty or be homeless or frightened again?
Dear God: Will you care for me when
I get sick?
Dear God: In heaven, can I eat at
least one whole carrot a day?
Dear God: My hooman gives me bunches
of nose smoochies, gentle ear rubs, massages and lots of pets all da time. She
calls it TLC. Do you have that in heaven?
Dear God: When I come to heaven,
can I do unlimited binkies and the bunny 500 all around heaven?
Dear God: Do you grow nanas in heaven?
If so, can I have all the nana I want and not get fat or sick? Down here I’m
not allowed to have a lot of nana or fruit because it’s full of sugar and
I’ll get plump.
Dear God: Do you spay and neuter
in heaven? If not, are there a bunch of baby bunnies running all around everywhere?
Dear God: Do you have a lot more
bunnies come to heaven after Easter because they were unwanted by their hoomans
after they growed up and the novelty wore off?
Dear God: Is there animal testing
in heaven? If so, I ain’t coming! Don’t know why some hoomans test cosmetics
on rabbits anyway, WE’RE ALREADY CUTE!
Dear God: Do you have to bunny proof
heaven?
Dear God: When I come to heaven will
there be lots of good, safe stuff for me to chew on?
Dear God: Are there lots of fresh
veggies in heaven? Bunnies need fresh veggies daily.
Dear God: My hooman keeps me outdoors
all the time and it gets extremely hot in the summer and I breath very fast and
heavy and it makes me very uncomfortable. Is it hot in heaven or am I getting
confused with that other place?
Dear God: If I bite you will you
understand that it could be because I’m new to the surroundings and I’m
a bit frightened at the moment and will you give me some time to adapt to my new
surroundings? Will you also understand that I might have come from a very abusive
situation and I just need time, patience, understanding and love, something I’ve
never known or had before.
Dear God: Is it true that bunnies
are really just Angels with big ears?
DEAR GOD: Please Bless all rabbit
rescue organizations. I have been bounced from home to home then dumped at a shelter
and was on death row until a bunderful lady named Caroline from The Bunny Bunch
came in and saved my life. I hope and pray there aren't any of those shelter places
in heaven. They are very frightening for us bunnies.
DEAR GOD: I'm known as a stud muffin
here on earth, so considering my reputation, when I go to heaven can I have lots
of SB'S (significant bunbabes) all around me. I am neutered FYI.
DEAR GOD: Are there lots of cardboard
tunnels, untreated willow rings and wicker baskets and other fun, safe bunny toys
in heaven? Bunnies like those kinds of things (nudge, nudge).
DEAR GOD: I understand that all good
bunnies go to heaven. What about bad bunnies? I mean, I'm not a "bad"
bunny per se, I just get into things occasionally and my hooman said I'm a "bad"
bunny and sent me away. So I'm just wondering.
DEAR GOD: It's so very sad that some
bunnies on earth have never been loved in their entire lifetime, then there are
the lucky bunnies who have never known anything other then love. Will we all be
loved equally in heaven?
DEAR GOD: To truly love a bunny he/she
should be kept indoors in a safe, secure and loving environment and should be
fed some pellets, lots of fresh grass hay and lots of green leafy veggies every
day. Also, he/she should get lots of lovin daily, have lots of fun safe play toys
and should be cared for at all times. Boy, this sure sounds like heaven to me.
I just can't imagine it being any better up there.
DEAR GOD: Is there a separate section
for spoiled bunnies in heaven? My hooman is always saying that I'm such a spoiled
bunny.
DEAR GOD: My hooman smothers me with
kisses. Are you the kissy type?
DEAR GOD: There are some hoomans
that are not very nice to bunnies. Can you please have a talk with those peoples?
Tanks.
DEAR GOD: The Bunny Bunch sells great
food, hay, toys and other fun stuff for buns. Is there a Bunny Bunch in heaven?
DEAR GOD: Is it true that the bunny
with the most toys wins?
OH AND GOD: If ya win, what do ya
get?
DEAR GOD, JESUS AND MOTHER MARY:
When you adopt me into heaven, will the whole family love and adore me, or will
you have to give me away when one member of the family no longer wants me or has
time for me anymore?
Dear God: You answered my prayers.
I got adopted! Yipeee!!!!!
Amen!
In
memory of those who have hopped to the other side.....
Send us photos of your bridge bunnies
and guinea pigs and we will post them here.
Bailey, who left me too soon, my very first bunny who made
me come to love bunnies like I do.

Spirit was an abandoned bunny whom I took into my home to Foster
her until there was room at the shelter. She had some medical issues,
cuterebra larvae, and some trust issues to work on so I kept her as
a foster in my house.Despite everything she went through Spirit was
so kind and gentle. It didn't take long before I realized I couldn't
let her go. Besides what's 3 bunnies anyway? After the adoption I
scheduled her spay surgery as any responsible bunny person would.
There was nothing to take out the vet discovered after they opened
her up. If only her previous human had tattooed her she wouldn't have
had to go thru the trauma of a surgery. Spirit never really recovered
from the trauma of surgery. Despite all the injections, Sub Q fluids,
oral; meds, feedings, vet visits and most of all unconditional love
Spirit left me during the afternoon of 20th Nov 03. Thank you for
coming into my life albeit far to short of a time. I love you and
miss you so much. Rex is at the bridge with you and until we see each
other again.

Rex was an absolute sweetheart who left me way too soon on Aug
31, 2003 of an unknown ailment. He taught me how to turn the other
cheek when his teenage hormones got the best of him but most of all
he taught me how to love the Mini-Rex breed. His intended mate Peter,
(I named her before the vet visit), misses him too but not as much
as his Human Mommy, Slave, Food Lady. "When you died I was not
there to hold you. If I had only known that kiss/snuggle would be
our last on earth. I miss you my little man and think about you all
the time. You may be gone from this earth but never from my heart.
I will see you at the bridge someday."Kelly, Peter girl, Pook,

Herbie (sweet brown bun above) was a very special gift, as
each and everybun or furchild is. But the bond one gets with a special
needs furchild is beyond what words can describe or express. It's
a priceless bond that I've experienced quite a few times now.
I adopted Herbie
on his one year birthday, June 30, 2001. When I first saw Herbie
it was at one of our adoption events. A gal that had been doing
rescue on her own starting working with The Bunny
Bunch to adopt out the buns she had rescued. She brought darling
Herbie to one of our adoptions days and I fell in love with him
at first sight, as did others. People would literally stop in their
tracks and were in awe over him. I even called my husband, Marc,
to come and see him and he came over right away, which totally surprised
me. Herbie was a stunningly handsome brown Flemish Giant and when
Marc saw
Herbie, instead of saying no way, you can't have him, he said, where
would you put him. He was right, I really couldn't think of a place
for him at the time.
Several months
passed when my boss handed me the newspaper and said I thought you
would like this, and it was a
pic of Herbie in the newspaper. I took it home and said to Marc,
look it's Herbie. He said why don't you adopt him (although he claims
he never said that LOL) well, that's all he had to say and I was
on the phone. Of course, I thought of a spot to put Herbie very
quickly.
But one thing
I noticed when I went to adopt Herbie and bring him home was that
his third eyelid was now exposed (it wasn't like that when I first
saw him). When I questioned it, the gal that was fostering him said
he had been to the vet several times about that eye, but I still
wanted him. When I got him home and started feeling around I felt
a lump pressing up against his eye. From that point on, and without
going into too much detail, it was pretty much down hill with Herbie.
We both have been to hell and back in our 2 years together and it
has taken a toll on me. He was my gentle giant, my rock with an
incredible will to live. We fought hard together but it was time,
as painful as it is.
It's amazing
how a room with 7 buns and 1 piggie can feel so empty. That's what
it feels like to me right now, but I have felt this emptiness many
times. I know time will mend my shattered heart, it always does,
but you never stop loving them. Love never dies.
Before going
to work this morning I was sitting in Herbie's area. I was feeling
so lost and down when all of a sudden I felt a nudge on my butt.
I thought for sure it was
either Stuart my piggie, Topper or Brighten and I quickly looked
behind me. Stuart was lying in the litterbox, Brighten and Topper
were about 8 feet away from me lying down. Of course, Marc thinks
my
butt has a spasm or twitch, but I know it was a nudge from my newest
angel saying I'm here and I'll always be with you.
God speed my
precious bunny boy. I know you are soaring with the angels and are
now with Sambo, the bunny you took so good care of when he was ill
and dying. I'll never forget how you comforted my
beautful Sambo when he needed comforting. I guess it's true that
the
big black rabbit came to get you (my Sam was jet black).
Love them, adore
them and cherish the ground they hop on.
Jenna and
forever Herbie and all my precious loves of my life, past
and present

"If he's
not there to meet us
We'll know we're not in heaven"
Buddy, a Netherland dwarf who was with us for 10 years (4/22/89
- 4/12/99), who passed away from liver cancer.
Gayle and Mike Shamel
"in memory
of Bunny who passed
away on 2-9-04. He was only 3 years old. He went too soon. He is
sadly missed by all. He was the 1st rabbit we ever had. He was loved
very much."
The Samu family
In 1997, (shortly
after Easter) We were startled by a curious ball of fur at our front
door. Aggie (known as Agro before we knew the sex) apparently was
abandoned and in need of some TLC. Carmen was ready to accommodate
the 2-tone bun, that would through the years also be lovingly called,
"Agroba", "Silly" and "Goose". We suspect
she was a year or two old that morning, and already very fond of Carmen.
We looked for an owner to no avail, and decided to keep her. She was
a big motivation in buying our first house, and claimed the side yard
and utility porch as her territory. Many hours went into trying to
figure out what to feed her, and where we could find resources. 7
years, and many precious memories later, Aggie returned to the earth
after a week long battle with an apparent GI infection. The vets tried
several things over the week, but could not get the bloat to shrink.
She had a seizure, probably due to stress on the way home from the
vet on the last trip.
We will always
remember her "Happy Dance", "dust baths" and
the "circling around our ankles" when we came home. She
is deeply missed, but will forever remain a precious part of our
lives.

Thumper was about 6 yrs old of age when he passed away on
April 29, 2004. in this picture hes the all white one. His mate
(spectacle or spec), the one above thumper, misses him dearly along
with the rest of us. Thumper passed away from GI (gastrointestinal
stasis). we were going to take him to the vet first thing in the
morning, but it was to late. i feel terrible that he sufferd, and
i really do hope that the seithicome we gave him helped ease the
pain. if you notice your rabbit not showing there normal eating
behavior habbits, please dont hesitate to take them to the vet.
i wanted to thank caroline for her help with thumper, and all the
bunnybunch members for there concern. we all miss the adorable independent
little bunny, and we all loved him so much. atleast now i know he
is safe and sound in rainbow bridge with his best buds Bugzzy and
Buster.
love always,

We lost our pal Blackie last August from an abscess that our vet
could not get under control no matter how hard we all tried, Blackie
fought hard for three months but he lost his fight in August 2003.
The whole family misses him so much, and he will always be loved
and remembered by us for all of the fun and enjoyment he gave us.
We have ten other bunnies who we still enjoy hopefully for many
more years.
 I
To our beloved Buddy, you meant so much to us all. He will
be very
missed by his bunny companions and his bunny parents who all loved
him
very very much. He's no longer in any more pain and we know he's
up there
in bunny heaven with our Bunz. We'll love and miss you forever.

Our little Harley was rescued from Pearson park in March of 2004.
She was a tiny little bun...maybe 3 weeks old. She shared our lives
for 4 1/2 months and in that short time, she entered our hearts. She
had such sweet eyes and a spirit in her walk. Unfortunately, she got
a jaw abscess and we were hoping for the best after she had surgery.
Within 3 weeks, the abscess came back and we had to make the heart
wrenching decision to let her go be with the other buns over the rainbow
bridge. She was only 2 1/2 pounds when she passed but she gave us
2 1/2 tons of love.
She passed away July 30, 2004 and it already seems like an eternity.
We
will miss her greatly and are very happy were were able to be her
momma
and poppa for the majority of her short 5 month life. We love you
and you are in our hearts forever!
Love,

 Little
Rain went to Rainbow Bridge on September 24, 2004. He will be deeply
missed by his family. He was the source of great joy for all of us.
Nobody could resist his cute face and adorable personality. Little
Rain was the most afftectionate bunny we had. He loved to be held
and snuggled into your body to get closer. He was the youngest bunny
of the seven bunnies we had. He was our only lop eared bunny. He suffered
from GI Stasis and was very bloated which caused him great pain. I
could see that he couldn't stand the pain and I knew in my heart that
we would probably lose him that night. He is now at peace and will
suffer no longer. We love you and miss you sooooo much. We can never
replace you, you are one of a kind!
Leilani Ching
NOTE: Please read our article on GI
Stasis for those of you who are not familar with it, so you will
know what to do if it happens to your rabbit.

I lost my baby Fluffy June 23, 2004. In the 3 years of her young
life she was my heart. Fluffy had her own unique personality and
always won the hearts of anyone who had the pleasure of meeting
her. I will miss her snuggling up to me in bed, watching movies,
her fiestiness, being nosey when ever someone was at the front door,
how she charmed her human grandma to not be afraid of animals anymore,
the sound of her little paws when she ran around at night, and Timmy
misses the little secrets she told her when they both thought I
wasn't looking. Fluffy you won all of our hearts and became part
of our family. I hope you weren't in any pain before you passed
but I know your spirit is free now. Fluffy you will always be in
my heart and a source of my happiness. Thank you to Dr. Michele
Kim for everything you did for Fluffy to try to help her. We love
you Fluffy... Tanya, Carlos, Mary, and Timmy
I lost something very important to me this summer, i lost my
dear baby
Eyore, I knew that he had a wonderful life with me and my family

knew that everyone loved him so much. I lost Eyore in my arms and
i will never ever forget the way he used to hop and the way his
ears flopped and how he use to garden with me and my mom but we
will always love him forever!!!
I LOVE YOU EYORE LOVE MARISA MAMA GABI AND DADA
In memory of

They always did everything with each other, sleep, eat, play. I
will miss you Pudgy, you were my first guinea pig ever and I gave
you the best life anybody could have given you.

We just lost
our baby dwarf rabbit, appropriately named Mr. Bundles,
this last weekend. We named him that because he was a bundle of
love, a
bundle of joy and a bundle of laughs everyday that we had him. We
were
blessed to have him almost 45 days. In those days he touched and
changed our lives forever. Right before he passed away he looked
at me and asked me to make it all better and make the pain and confusion
go away. You are all better now Mr. Bundles. You are in bunny heaven
licking
someone's hand or face. We
miss you dearly our baby Bundles.

It's
been almost 2 months since I lost Rex and I still miss him everyday.
The new guy in the house, Rudy, is very special as is Peter. They
are all unique individuals and loved equally. It's incredible how
much you can love a creature even though you have only had them a
short time. I only had Rex from Jan-Aug this year and it was so hard
when he went. When he was so sick in May and I thought I might lose
him I was devastated at the impending loss then let alone 4 months
later when I actually did lose him! Despite everything that happened
I was so blessed to have him a part of my life I wouldn't change it
for the world. I look at your website often sometimes
though tears sometimes not.

 I
have another resident at the Rainbow Bridge. I adopted Peter from
the SPCA July 12 2002 at approx 1 year of age. She was quite the little
character right from day one. She always had that look in her that
made me wonder what did she do this time. Whether she was rattling
the cage as the treats weren't coming fast enough, checking out the
world from the kitchen table or snoring beside me in bed. Peter taught
me so much about bunnies it's hard to imagine what life will be like
without her. I know the boys will miss her and are already wondering
where she went. Peter died March 28th 2005 at 0721 in my arms with
tears streaming down upon her. My heart is broken and will never be
the same again as part of me went with her over the bridge. Peter
girl I will miss you so much, you may be gone from this earth but
never from my heart. Until we meet again baby girl,
Love Kelly,
Human mommy and your fellow members of the Zoo. |
My
Tristan was my heart.He was with me before my husband or children
and never were there a pair
more bonded than Tristan and myself. We battled malocclusion,
reoccurring abscesses, eye ulcers...Our vet called him the "miracle
rabbit." It was Tristan's and my battles with his health that
drew me back onto my path of
veterinary medicine...Someday I will specialize in the exotics and
closest
to my heart, the rabbits. And as I was there for him, he was there
for
me even more often. Oh, how I'll miss my bunny kisses! Meals will
never be
the same without our bunny under the table waiting for his share.
Our home is not without the pitter patter of little bunny feet, there
are 4 more
here,yet the house seems so quiet without my only lop love. All rabbits
have their charm, but, it's not until you love a lop that the true
potential
of a rabbit is revealed. My darling Tristan became quiet Friday evening
and Saturday around midnight he just laid down and said goodbye. It
was
March 12th 2005. He came into my life April 1st 1998. It was a rainy
evening and rolling on the river was playing on the radio. That is
a night that I'll always remember, as you always remember the day
you met your true love. Good-Bye my darling Trisan. Our love was one
that cannot be surpassed.
Your dearest admirer, |

Monty,
I miss and love you, big guy.

Snoopy, aka, Snoop Dog
My poor
guy. Snoopy narrowly missed death once. He and his brothers and
sisters were born at a shelter, Snoopy was the only one of his siblings
to live. Caroline with the Bunny Bunch nursed him back to health,
and he had lived with his adoptive mom for about a year. Snoopy
suddenly went into stasis and did not pull thru. He was a cute guy,
and lived next to a girl bunny, Shego, who he had a MAJOR crush
on for the last 4 months of his life.
Tallulah Belle
(above left), the sweetest, kindest girl bunny in the world. Tallulah
was onto her second absess surgery and did not pull thru. She put
up with months of meds and shots to prevent the second surgery,
was always a trooper. She left behind her bunny boyfriend Munka
(above right), who misses her as we all do terribly, terribly. I
cry for her almost every day.....my heart breaks for her.

Rudy left me suddenly an unexpectedly on the night of 27 March
2006 as I was rushing him to the Vet. He had been thru a bad bout
of stasis three weeks before but was right as rain that morning when
I left for work. When I got home from work I rushed him to the vet
for meds and he seemed to be doing ok when we left. His condition
deteriorated rapidly and I was rushing him to the emergency clinic
when he died in my arms with my tears streaming down on him. Rudy
left behind his bonded mate Jelly Bean, his Mom Kelly and the rest
of the zoo. I miss you my little man and would give almost anything
to have you here with me. I know you are now pain free and at the
bridge with Peter. Will miss you forever and always until we meet
again.

For our bunny son Felix who passed away Feb. 24, 2007. We miss
you so
much, and we hope you are eating all the raisins and bananas that
your
little heart desires in heaven. You will always have a place in our
hearts and we will always be grateful for the time that we got to
spend with you. Thank you for letting us pet you and give you kisses.
We wish we could've had you with us for another 10 years. We love
you Feelers.
All our love,

We lost our beloved baby Piper much too soon in her young life due
to an infection discovered while she was being spayed at 5 months
old. She fought very hard to live and we were all hoping and praying,
but her system never returned to being fully functional. 10 days after
the surgery, on 10-3-07, Piper closed her twinkling eyes forever and
our hearts were broken. Though we didn't have her for long, she quickly
won our hearts with her adorable face and friendly, spunky personality.
She was a curious little bunny who never tired of adventure and loved
to run around the sofa at top speed, plus do lots of binkies and flying
leaps. She loved to be cuddled and pet, and after bonding with our
other mini-lop, Pumpkin, became a playful and snuggly companion for
him. Piper was so precious in every way and we miss her terribly.
Though we're glad she's not suffering, it is really sad that this
sweet bunny didn't get to live out a long, happy life here with us.
Someday, Piper, we'll meet again at Rainbow Bridge.
We will love you forever, little Piper!

love that beautiful face and darling personality. We will always love
you and cherish the time we spent together.
With love always,

We tragically lost Cupcake 12/6/07. She was a sweet girl and would
have had her 2 year birthday next month. We miss her so very much
and pray for her bunny soul.

We
just lost our piggie Sammy from pneumonia on July 6, 2008.
He is deeply missed and we're still in shock. I find comfort knowing
he is a happy, fat piggie with all his piggie friends as he crossed
the rainbow bridge. His "brothers" Tony, Gary and Joey miss
him too.

Cutie Bug was my special girl. I loved her soooo much and she
will always be a part of me, I’ll never forget her. The reason
I’m sharing this with you is because I want to thank you for
doing what you do for these animals. If it weren’t for you Cutie
Bug would’ve never come into my life. I am so grateful for the
time I had with her, as short as it was, and I hope I was able to
make her last few years the best that they could be. I will miss her
more than words can express.

We lost our Midnight on July 17, 2008. She was our little girl
for over five years.Midnight suffered a heat attack and died in my
arms on the way to the vet.At my age of 59 you would think I could
control myself but Midnight was more then a Bunny. She brought me
so much happiness I could never find again. Midnight and I had talks
every night about her times as a small bunny and how much fun she
was to try to catch. I swear sometimes she knew exactly what I was
saying. I am crying now as I write this to express my love and pray
that someday I will see her again.Caroline, took care if Midnight
as a young bunny and when we moved from California to Virginia we
used Caroline's expertise to help us through some hard times with
some sicknesses Midnight developed, But this one was too much for
anyone.I miss her more then anyone can imagine. Midnight was cremated
and is in my home office along with my favorite pictures of her. I
still speak to her every night as I did when she was alive. My wife
tells me I wake up calling her name in my sleep.I have lost other
animals in my life but that touched me so humanly as my Midnight.Midnight,
daddy misses you and will forever.Goodnight my little girl.

Gandalf
was a big gray grumpy rabbit. We thought she was a boy that's
why we named her after our favorite book wizard, but she turned out
to be a shy snorty bunny who loved hiding behind the bathroom toilet.
She died last February 16, 2007. She made us oh so happy for five
years. We will never forget her.
Alice
is a baby rabbit. The pet shop said she was two months old. She
was sunshine and sparkle and charm and love all in one soft bundle.
She had the most beautiful pair of blue eyes that stood out against
her snow white fur. She died today December 15, 2007, and though
we knew her for such a short time, we will always love her.

On August 22, 2008, we had to help him cross over to the Rainbow
Bridge. It was a very difficult decision but he was too sick and
tired to go on. For the past few months, you and the volunteers
at the Burrows have provided us tremendous help and for which we
are eternally grateful.

You, Bunny. |

I was so distraught after the loss of my Flemish Giant "Hippy"
that I made a video and posted it on YouTube. I loved him so much
and in his short lifetime he was my savior. Please view Hippy's video
on YouTube Flemish Giant Hippy. Over 2,500 people have viewed
him in the last 6 mo, I had no idea the response would be so great.
He will always be larger than life. Caroline |
For those of you who had the pleasure of knowing her, little Jackson
brought a special light into our lives. She was a great companion,
a sweet and loving little bunny. Jackson passed away on Friday and
is in bunny heaven now. Though I miss her greatly, I count my blessings
that I got to be with her for three years. She was the best! Heather

This dedication is to my special one and dear best-friend named Buttercup.
You truly were an angel, who made my life complete. You helped me
through my diagnosis of MS, all my hospital visits, and chemo visits.
You still loved me unconditionally. You were my rock. I got you when
you were just a few months old and had you, until you were 6 years
old. Unfortunately the vet mis-diagnosed you, and told me you had
ear infections. When it was just the beginning stages of paralysis
(since you had head tilt), I did every possible thing I could do for
you. Please wait for me on the rainbow bridge in heaven, as I will
be counting the days until I'm with you and Sophie (my dog that passed
away last yr at 20 yrs old). You are forever in my heart and soul. |
 Skillet,
you were my little one, my baby, my little light of Love and Hope
living in the darkness of my closet. Hiding from the cruelty of the
world and saving me from my own. In the little time I had you, you
brought peace to my heart and calmed my soul. You made my home life
bearable and helped me cope with day to day troubles and anxieties.
I cry for you and long for you every day, from the moment I wake and
no not see you looking up at me to when I am not able to kiss you
good night and go to sleep only to have you wake me five times during
the silence. I feel empty and lost without you. you brought me happiness
no man could ever bring me. I helped you grow, watched you learn,
and was beside you as you discovered your world with excitement. I
rescued you through every adventure you created and nursed you back
to health when you were sick. it breaks my heart knowing Mommy couldn't
be there for you when needed help the most and I will beat myself
up for that until I can watch you run around again. I loved you more
than I knew. you are irreplaceable and I will always love you. We
found each other and I am sorry our time was short. I hope I made
you happy.Mommy misses you. My baby, my light, my little one. My Skillet.
