Jaded - I'm so very sorry for your loss.
It's hard to know what to say in instances like this, as I know exactly how you feel (my sweet Cocker Spaniel Ishtar died in my arms in much the same way)...it's really tough getting through the loss of such a sweet doggie, but I'm sure she loved you and knew that you loved her back. This is so sad, but know her little doggie spirit will live on in your heart.

I am very sorry for your loss Jade. Only a pet owner can understand what it feels like to lose a pet that has become a part of your life.

Some of you might have seen this already but just think it says the right thing when someone looses a loved pet

Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies, one who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends where 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 who was very special to them, someone they had to leave behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The eyes are bright and intent, the eager little body begins to quiver all over! Suddenly that lucky one breaks away from the group, and flies over the green grass, little 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. Happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands once again caress that 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 the Rainbow Bridge together. . . .

Thanks for all the kind words... I really considered not posting this thread. I know this is a bummer and may not be appropriate for MAAST but I thought since this is a place full of pet lovers that you could all appreciate the story. My wife and I read through your responses and stories after we got home last night and it really helped. We took here collar to the river where she spent her first vacation. It was a great day!!!

Thanks again
