I am so sorry to read about the loss of your dog on Wednesday and also, of course, the death of Spot. I vividly recall my own anguish when my beloved Brunna died on 14 Dec 2001. A FReeper started a thread called "Welcome at Rainbow Bridge (A Tribute to Brunna)" which was such a great source of consolation I recommend you read it. I don't know how to post a link.

Perhaps its a bit gruesome but I keep Brunna's ashes close and they'll be going with me when I go. I miss him every day. Sure it gets easier in some ways but in other ways it just doesn't.

I have two new dogs now but I still grieve. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your grief.

I will look for the thread. Chad was the first one to tell me about the Rainbow Bridge poem, so I'm aware of it...it's very comforting, thank you. It's nice to imagine him whole again, playing with his friends (he loved other dogs). It's one of the few things that gives me any relief.
