Today marks a sad day...

Please everyone send your purr-rayers and good thoughts our way. My family (my sister) has lost their beloved dog Pirate. Pirate was a sweet loving dog who adored my niece Brielle.   Pirate may have been small but he was no sissy!!! His brothers included two pitbulls  and a huge German Shepard (and I'm talking huge).  He certainty was the smallest of the bunch (only weighing about 10 lbs) but he ran like the rest of them.  Unfortunately Pirates life ended tragically today.  We can be thankful that he didn't suffer.  He is at peace and we know he is waiting for us...

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….

**We love you Pirate and we will miss you dearly. We can’t wait to see you again one day and we know  there is one star up in heaven shining a little bit brighter.**
