One Month

It has been one month since I passed to the Rainbow Bridge. Mom still misses me everyday, but I know it is getting better.


"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."
-- Irving Townsend

RAINBOW BRIDGE BY AUTHOR UNKNOWN
--------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

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....

Rainbow Bridge

Ella went to the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday morning. After her trip to the emergency vet on Saturday night she was feeling much better.

Then, around 7am on Sunday, her fever came back. We took her back to the vet and found out her high temperature had caused brain trauma. Any treatments would have had very little chance of success, so we had to choose to end her suffering.


Our family is devastated, but, at least, we know our Little Bear is now in a better place.

A Bit of an Emergency!

Mum rushed me to the emergency vet last night! I was coughing, lethargic, and had a temperature! Mommy panicked!

The vet gave me some shots to help lower my temperature and to help me get better. Plus, I have an antibiotic to take for the next week.

I've already pepped back up a lot, but keep your fingers crossed for me!
