Lost a dog today...
 
She was hit by a car. I don't recall ever having such a good dog. She was 4 months shy of 3 years old. Sad day on the farm. Feel like the wind has been taken out of my sails. Her fur-sister (pictured), human-sisters, human-brother, and mommy and daddy are sure going to miss her.

Sorry for y'all's loss. It is hard losing a good dog.

I am really really sorry for your loss, but why don't you put up a fence, then maybe you won't have to deal with this type of think again.

Again, sorry for your loss.

We've been saving for a fence. We were planning to build one next spring. :(

My condolences at the loss of your best friend.

The fence cost issue is why I currently a 3 nested ring kennel inside my fenced acre. When first dog found me all I could afford was a 25 by 25 foot welded wire kennel pen for her.

As the years went by and more dogs found me I added rings around the original kennel as I could afford it and now have a 50 x 50 outer kennel with 200 ft of endless round track and inside that 140 foot inner track and in the middle the original 675 sq foot kennel pen.

I am so sorry, cried when I opened this.

Rainbow Bridge

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....
