It was with a very heavy heart that I had to say goodbye to Roobear this morning. She had hurt her front shoulder and could no longer get to her feet without assistance from me. She was a very proud bear and would not have been happy without her dignity. I had her favourite Vet “Uncle Roger” to come and visit her and now she is in the vast bone-shop in the sky. I will miss her more than words can say but there is no way I could let her suffer in pain with no chance of her recovery, the arthritis and her age (105 nearly in doggie years) finally got the better of the most beautiful girl in my world .I will always love you xxxxx

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. Her bright eyes are intent; Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her 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....
Thinking of you Lyndyloo.

Lyndyloo, really sorry to hear your sad news. Having been through similar myself recently and still coming to grips with the hole left in the family I can appreciate what you are going through. The idea of the rainbow bridge helps me, and the memories of the happy times together. Focus on them, and the pain eventually eases, but never leaves!
Take care

Hope she runs free with Charley dog....thinking of you, I know how hard it is.

I was so sorry to hear about Roobear, but it was the kindest thing that you could have done. As Jo says, she's probably with Charley dog right now, and hopefully has met up with my lovely Enoch, a 15-year old black lab/retriever cross who I still miss to this day, 12 years on. He also had arthritis and, like Roobear, didn't deserve to lose his dignity, so let's hope the three of them are running around and chasing sticks together.
Love jollygit xx
Thank you for all your comments and for the link to the daily mail piece about the poor retriever. I'm still crying but I know that she's no longer in pain and she's waiting for me. You are all a wonderful source of support to me and I am lucky to have found you all.
Luv
Lyndyloo
