Shay/Ronnie,

We don't have the words to say that would help you guys feel any better, but we do know what you are feeling right now.  When we lost Max it was the saddest thing we had ever felt. It seemed like it ripped our souls right out of our bodies. It has been nine years since he died and our sadness has grown into fond happy memories of how much we loved him.  No matter how hard it seems, just ask God to help you fill the void and He will do that for you.  He did for us! 

When people say you shouldn't grieve over a pet, they don't have a clue what they are talking about.  These are the types of people that really miss out on special things in life.  We will be here for you.....  Love, Mike, Jodi & Rocky 

"Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all."   --  Saint Augustine

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 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....
