  6. My love and prayers for your sweet girl Callie.
    I lost my dear heart Lili last December and it always leaves a space no other can fill, but Callie is running now in a place where there are always treats and balls and a soft warm place to lay her head. She is in the arms of loving angels!

  13. I'm so sorry for your loss. I am new to your blog but looked back a bit to read about your brave girl. She could not have asked for better care and know she is pain free and snacking on some cheese with a big appetite over the bridge.
    Hugs,

  22. We heard about this sad news at Mango's blog and wanted to come over and pay our respects. We're so sorry - that Rainbow Bridge takes too many dogies. But we know Miss Callie is running free with the wind over there now, pain free and a puppy again! The good memories that you have of her will help but we know she will always be missed.

  25. Martha and Bailey sent us over. We haven't visited before, but we are still very sorry to read of the loss of Miss Callie. She looks like she was a great woofie, and way to young to cross that bridge already. We will be purring for all of you and Meowm will be praying (she had a basset hound herself and still adores them).

  32. Hi. I just read the news of your loss while at Martha and Bailey's Blog and simply had to come give you a virtual hug.. We lost our beloved Missy on the 22nd of this month so our sadness is still fresh so to speak.

    It's just hard to say goodbye to a fur baby when they are so innocent and put up the good fight.

    Take care and know that I am thinking of you.

    Beyond the Rainbow
    by Cathy Guyan

    As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
    I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
    I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble free
    Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

    I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
    Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
    And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
    Were animals of every sort, as healthy as could be!
    My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
    And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

    I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm all right
    That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
    'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
    And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

    For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
    We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
    So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart,
    If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

  41. We are so sorry to hear about Callie. When we lost our shepherd a few weeks ago, someone shared the following with us and it sure made us feel better:

    "It came to me that every time I lost a dog they take a piece of my
    heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me
    with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components
    of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as
    they are." (Cheryl Zuccaro)

  43. Just popped over from Maggie Mae's blog to say how sorry we are to hear of your loss. Memories are the treasures a family shares forever when a loved dog passes over the Magic Rainbow.
