My Furbaby is gone
Dearest Off, BB, and Changed for Life friends,
I've thought about posting this for quite awhile, but so difficult to talk about. My adorable, beautiful Little Bit of Sunshine has gone to heaven to be with my Mom and Dad. I miss him so much. I want so badly to see him again. To cuddle him. To see all those quirky little habits that made up who he was. Such an angel. Literally, now. The vet's office made me a little clay heart with his footprint in it and his name on it. I have a bit of his beautiful tail hair in a baggie. All that I have left of him. He was an old gentleman. It was his time. Doesn't make it any easier. Love found. Love grows. Love lost. Ain't no sunshine when your gone. Mag

I know how it is ... I lost my gentle Scooter last year, and it was so hard. I still think I feel his presence in my life. It's hard when our furbabies leave us.
I got this from a cat group I belong to, but it's good for all our furbabies.
All Pets Go To Heaven
Can you imagine a heaven without pets?
There is a very special place where beloved pets go after they die. This is only a temporary location. But there are trees and grass and lakes, and everything they love. Here they can play and eat and sleep, even better than they did, before they died. Now, there are no aches or worries or dangers of any kind to trouble or threaten them. The only joy missing is their beloved human companion, you.
All health is restored completely, and all injuries are healed. Dogs and cats play with each other like youngsters, and they do not have time to feel lonely for you. They miss you, and with the special wisdom that animals have they trust that this condition will get better. And they confidently wait as they frolic.
A wonderful day will come for each of them, when in the middle of playing they will suddenly feel something is different. And all their senses will be at the height of excitement and exuberance. They will sniff the air and look off in the distance where they recognize that dearly loved special presence.
Then they will call out in elation, and with eyes shining and tail going wild, tear off at a full gallop, almost flying over the green grass.
Your expected arrival has been sensed, and now there is nothing that can keep the two of you apart, ever again. As you run toward each other the tears flow from your eyes. Your pet leaps into your arms, and you cling together in jubilant reunion. The joyous kisses are all over your face, and you kiss back, just as ecstatically. Your hands so lovingly caress once more the beloved fur, the head and neck and body you knew so well. And you look into each other’s loving eyes, and all those old, wonderful shared feelings are back, again.
And then something will call the both of you on, to a different field of warmth and nurture, where all the love you knew now comes to fruition. With your pet, you leave that special waiting area, walk into the main part of heaven, and begin a new existence there, together.
If you accept that pets can love us as much as we do them, then the logic is clear and cannot be denied. If you believe that there is a heaven for people then they must be there, waiting for us, when we cross over. Heaven is love and pets always share that with us.

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand that pain, and can relate, even though I lost my babies a while ago.
Sending hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
