So very, very sorry for the sudden loss of your little boy, I know the pain you are going through as I lost my baby girl 14 months ago, also, suddenly. I was devastated and in shock, the pain in my heart was overwhelming. I was in a very dark place too. Then my little unplanned adopted boy entered my life and my heart, he pulled me out of that dark place,made my house a home again, he rescued me. No dog can ever "replace" one that you have lost, but they do help you heal, and give you love and fill that empty space in your heart. I pray soon you will be able to open your heart to another awesome little furbutt, your boy would want you to be happy. I will keep you in my prayers to help give you strength in this very painful time. (((HUGS)))
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....
