Penny 1990 - 2006

First entry, I know, but this space has been set up for someone very special in our life.

 

Since 1990 I've had Kim and Penny ... they were only about 8 weeks old when I got them.

 

They have given me much pleasures in my life and my life is so much more rich because of them.

 

Alan came into the picture in 1998 as a dog person but it took no time for these little guys to enter his heart.  They don't scratch, they don't bite but they will give copious amounts of love.

 

For this reason, it gives us great sadness to advise that Penny passed away on 3 March 2006 at 1.30pm.

 

I have never known such pain as having to say goodbye and she takes away with her a piece of my heart that she will have until we meet again.

 

For you my baby

 

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. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her 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....  Author unknown...
