RIP Tigger

Hi Janey

Sorry for you and Henry. :( We had 8 cats (yes, 8!) Over the past two years, we have lost 5 - all to old age related illnesses. It's so hard when they have to leave us.

I don't know if you have ever read this poem or not, but I share it with anyone who loses one of their little friends. It's a real tear-jerker - but also very comforting. I hope you like it and it brings you a wee bit of comfort knowing your little guy is OK.

Take care of yourself.

Rainbow Bridge

[SIZE=+1]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....

hello, that bloody poem gets me blubbering everytime i read it. so sorry to hear about you cat janey. i am copeing but still miss him a lot. two weeks ago a couple who i know were having to send their doggy to the pound as they had started working long hours and he wasn't getting the walks he liked. he'll be one on monday and he's a golden cocker spaniel crossed with a lab (well she said working dog so i assume that's what he'll be) he's also called henry so i thought it was fate and had to have him. he's lovely but when i'm out with him i think about big h (he's little h) and how well they would of got on. now i'm sitting blubbering. when you do fell you can go out, get some rescue remedy from the chemist. i found that helped me. i got the spray one, i think i squirted more on my tongue than i should of done but it seemed to help. take care
