Hi Jenna, I don’t know you either (I work with your mom), but I can sympathize with you as I have lost pets that have meant the world to me. I don’t know the author of this poem, but I loved it when I read it and thought I would share it with you.

The Rainbow Bridge (Author Unknown)
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill;
is a lush green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their times on earth are over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,
is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play.
Till the Rainbow Bridge they crossover one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness.
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without ever a care,
Until one day they start and sniff in the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they crossover….together.

Hi Jenna,
IAm so sorry for your lost of family. Yes family, because what I just read came from a loved one. I know the pain, as we lost a few of ours in the past. My heart goes out to you, Wendy & Sean during this difficult time. Try to dwell on all of those wonderful times y’all had w/Casey.
Love,
Uncle Tim

Hi Jenna: You don’t know me and I didn’t know Casey but I work with your mom. She sent your blog to me; one, because she is so proud of you (you are a wonderful writer and this would make a great published article…..I cried!) and two, because she knows how much I love my babies (currently 1 elderly tabby cat, 1 middle aged Scottish Fold tabby cat and 1 young pug dog).

I’m so sorry to hear about your beloved Casey; he was one lucky dog to be part of your family! Judi P

It’s so sad (and so hard) when we have to say good-bye to those we love. Casey’s job was to bring joy to you and your family – - and he did that in abundance. He did his job well and he will always hold a special place in your heart.

We are sharing your sorrow. Keep the beautiful memories close to you.

Blessings,
Lisa

Jenna,
We are so sorry for your loss of Casey. We remember him so well and loved him very much. We still have his brother and sister, Niles and Martha. They are the most special to us and we have often said, we should have kept the whole litter but then Casey and Harrison would not have been in your life and family.

When he went to live in your home with Harrison, we knew he would have a wonderful life and by reading your blog about him we know how much he was truely loved. How lucky for him and Harrison to be a part of your family.

We are very sad hearing of this loss but are glad he had such a good life.

Take care,
Cheryl and Ed and Niles and Martha
