The loss of a pet, to many people, also means the loss of a cherished family member that has given us love in an unconditional and pure way.  The loss is significant and you should allow yourself to feel the pain of the loss.  Many people try to hold in tears and emotions, but crying stimulates the release of endorphins which serve our body's natural healing agents.  If you try to hide your emotions during the grieving process you will exhaust yourself.

You are an individual and your way of grieving will be different than the way others grieve.  The following may are just a few ways to express your grief:

  • Open expression of emotions such as crying, conversations about loss, etc.
  • Drawing, writing poetry, or other artistic expressions.
  • Dedicating time to animal organizations.
  • Committing to make positive changes in your own life.

We would like to offer this page as a memorial page.  Please sign into the guest book and add any many thoughts as you would like.

The Doctors and staff are sincerely sorry for your loss and if there is anything we can do to assist you through this difficult time please let us know.

By the edge of a wood, at the foot of a hill, is a lush green meadow where time stands still.  Where the friend sof man and woman do run, when their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next, is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.  On this golden land, they wait and play, till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, for here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.  Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, their bodies have healed, with strength imbued

They romp through the grass, without, without even a care, until one day they start, and sniff the air.  Alle ars prick forward, eyes dart front to back, then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet.  so they run to each other, these friends from long past, the time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart, has turned into a joy once more in each heart.  They embrace with love that will last forever, and then, side -by-side, they cross over......together.
