SHADE CROSSES THE RAINBOW BRIDGE 6 APRIL 2011

Gayle writes: With our hearts breaking and more tears than I care to admit to, the decision was made this morning for Shade to cross Rainbow Bridge. She had been at the vet since last Saturday morning and no matter what we did, nothing was working. The vet was unable to pinpoint the cause of her failing other than it was time. At age 11 years and two days, Shade had shut down, content just to wait for her life to end. She had not eaten in several days, bladder was shutting down and she was oh, so tired; her time had come and the decision was made to help her along, letting her go with dignity & peace. Holding her close and receiving one last snuggle to my neck from her, she quietly crossed over Rainbow Bridge. So many of you loved Shade; she brought smiles to all our faces. We were blessed to have Sashen (09/05/10) & Shade come into our lives in June 2010 when their owner kicked them both to the curb in South Chicago and left them to die at the shelter. Taking in two old ladies until end of life was quite an experience, one that has torn our hearts in two, but one we are glad we were able to do for them. Their end of life came way before we thought it would. We love you, Shade, our special ol' gal; say hi to Sashen and run free & happy, my baby girl! Gayle & Bob SHELLY SIMINSKI: So sorry; prayers. KATHY GAMACHE: A very teary story. . . sweet little girl. BOB ANDERSON: Maybe that's why "Rescue Dogs&334; battle the odds and hang on . . . so they can experience dignity & peace before they cross The Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for doing so much for Sashen & Shade,

RAINBOW BRIDGE 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, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together . . . Author Unknown
