Rainbow Bridge
« on: December 03, 2018, 10:27:06 PM »
My Paddie crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning.

What a life she has had! She has climbed palm trees, gotten herself stranded on a roof, visited a compound for men only (and I was stopped by security as I was on my hands and knees using a torch to look for her through the fence), managed to get herself inside the engine of a digger machine, endured heat and dust, travelled via Amsterdam to England - and my heart is broken.

Thank you.

I am not sure how old Paddie was - 17 or 18 years old.

Oh Blossom, I'm so sorry.  Poor Sobe has been widowed twice now.   ;)  (hope that made you smile).

Our animals are our family.  I'm so sorry for your loss but cherish those memories.  I hope your other babies are coping okay.

Thank you so much everyone.  It is hard, isn't it, but the pain at the end is the price you pay for all the love between you.
