Goodnight Sweet Prince

Well friends,I have not been well for sometime.
Last night I told Mom it was time for me to go.
I could see some of my friends waiting for me
at the Rainbow Bridge.
friend Luxor and dear friends Princess and Caesar.
There are so many other  friends waiting to greet me
I know Mom is sad, but we will meet again
someday.
Goodbye friends, until we meet again...

Nancy
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet boy. He has been such a cherished darling. We will truly miss that gentle precious boy of yours. My heart aches for your loss and yet we knew Mickey was not well and that in the greatest gift of compassion you let him ease out of his pain into a wonderful place filled with all of his friends and family. I truly believe he will be waiting for you and all of his sisters when it is their times to join him. That doesn't ease the pain of his loss,but in some ways there is comfort in believing that there is to be a wonderful reunion of spirits.

We will miss you Mickey.

We are so sad to learn that Mickey went to the bridge! He was a lovely black panther and will be sorely missed. Last year I lost my Molly who was 18 so I can understand how hard it is for you to lose a long-time companion. My prayers are with you that you will find comfort in the wonderful memories you have from his years of friendship.
