    Hi Kate–don’t know you, but certainly know the sadness and emptiness of not having “my Viviennes” of the past. She was a beautiful dog. So sorry for you.

    So sorry for your loss. We had a couple of shepherd mix dogs whom we loved dearly, so I can imagine how hard it is losing Vivienne. One of mine, Rishi, was a major character in my novel “Mood Swing: The Bipolar Murders.”

    I don’t know you, but I understand the hurt and loneliness when we have to say goodbye. My Lhasa Apso was 18 years old when we said “goodbye for now.” She got me thru the darkest time in my life when i lost my parents. Without her, I would never have survived.
    I am so sorry for your loss. Hold tight to all your wonderful memories.

  6. My sympathy on the passing of Vivienne
    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….

      The Rainbow Bridge is beautiful and brings a bit of peace to a broken heart. I look forward to the day I am reunited with my precious Mitzi. She can kiss me for eternity.
