So long Beautiful Pilot - Until we meet again...

Today we were told that Pilot, Stella's beautiful Dad, had passed away. We are so sad at the loss of this wonderful boy. Pilot you will be missed. Rest in Peace!


My best friend closed his eyes last
night, As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was not in pain,
But no longer could he stand.

The thoughts that scurried through
my head, As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH...his many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart that’s filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.

Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven lies the Rainbow Bridge
When a beloved pet dies, it goes to the Rainbow Bridge .
It makes friends with other animals and frolics over rolling hills
and peaceful, lush meadows of green.

Our pets do not thirst or hunger. The old and sick are made young once more; the maimed and the ill become healed and strong.
They are as healthy and playful as we remember them in days gone by.
Though happy and content, they still miss someone very special,
someone they had to leave behind.

Together, the animals chase and play, but the day comes
when a pet will suddenly stop and look into the distance…
bright eyes intent, eager body quivering.
Suddenly recognizing you, your pet bounds quickly
across the green fields and into your embrace.
You celebrate in joyous reunion. You will never again separate.
Happy tears and kisses are warm and plenty;
your hands caress the face you missed.

You look once more into the loving eyes of your pet
and know you never really parted.
You realize that though out of site, your love had been remembered.
And now... you cross the Rainbow Bridge together…
