Judy, I am so sorry to hear about your Smokey! :cry1: I understand how sad you must feel. as I too had to have my beloved Bailey put to sleep at the age of 14 just a few months ago and know how difficult it was. My thoughts are with you.

JRK I'm so sorry about your beloved cat he will meet Raven at Rainbow Ridge. All my sympathy.....judy

JKR All my heart-felt thoughts and prayers are with you. It is so hard to lose a pet of so many years. Even harder when you have to put them to sleep yourself. I had both my Buffie and Casey go in one year that way, but I could not see them live on and suffer so much when they had been such a special part of me. Your Smokey will meet all out beloved pets on the rainbow bridge :nod:and will never be alone.

Judy,

I am so sorry about your beloved Smokey. What a beautiful, sweet cat, that had such a special mom.
My heart goes out to you......

The Rainbow Bridge...
Just this side of heaven is a place called The Rainbow ridge.
When a beloved pet dies who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to The Rainbow Bridge.
It is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.
There is always plenty of food and water and sunshine;
our friends are warm and comfortable. Those old and frail animals are young again,restored to health and vigor. Those who have been hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again.
The animals play all day;
they are happy and content with each other.
But, there is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth; the one who had to be left behind. Then the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent;
the eager body quivers. Suddenly he breaks away from the group,
flying over the green grass; his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been seen.
And when you and your special friend meet, you take him in your arms and embrace. The happy kisses rain upon your face.
Your hands again caress the beloved head.
You look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet.
And then, together, you cross The Rainbow Bridge.
Never to be separated.

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....
