A bit of pixie dust would help

[SeaShelley]

If you have a minute today, would you send some comforting thoughts and pixie dust up to Maine.

My sister and her family are having their furbaby put down today. Harley is 13 and failing fast. She was their first baby; picking her up at the shelter when she was just a pup. It was the first thing my sis and DBIL "owned" together as a couple.

They know it's the right thing to do, but my sister just isn't ready....it breaks my heart. Thankfully, we do have our trip to look forward to, but there will be a big hole in their house and in their hearts for a while.

Thanks for listening.

Vey sad to hear that about Harley, Shelley. Please do pass the wonderful thought of that wonderful bridge on to your sister.

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 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....​

Oh Dan, thank you for that. I remember seeing it years ago, but had forgotten all about it. I will be sure to pass it along to my sister. When we talked (cried) about it last night, I assured her that Abby and MacArthur, our family dogs that have passed over that bridge, would be waiting for Harley when she arrives and share with her all their favorite spots on the other side.
