My Willy Man

Lovemybeagles · 02-03-2012, 04:27 PM

Last Saturday night we had to say goodbye to our oldest beagle Willy.
He had been having seizures for 2 months and we were trying to control them with medication but then he had three seizures in rapid succession and he didn't come out of them. It was heartbreaking to say goodbye, he was our baby and brought so many smiles to our face.

He was our adventurer and he was such a good pup.

My heart is broken in two.

Charlie his brother, my husband and I are taking comfort in each other.

Lots of hugs and kisses all around.

So sorry for your loss. How old was he?

I am so sosrry to hear that.
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....
