Shep was a bearded collie - a great friend he went to sleep peacefully 20 years ago at 8 years of age

Sheba was a beautiful golden retriever - my confidante and my friend.  She was PTS 12 years ago at 9 years of age

Skye was a West Highland Terrier.  10 weeks old we had here for 10 days but had to be PTS because of genetic problems.  We are heartbroken and miss her terribly

When I cross the rainbow bridge I want them to run to meet me and welcome me home.

Look not where I was, For I am not there.
My spirit is free -- I am everywhere.
In the air that you breathe, In the sounds that you hear.
Don't cry for me, friends, My spirit is near.
I'll watch for you from the other side.
I'll be the one running, New friends by my side.
Smile at my memory, Remember in your heart

This isn't the end -- It's a brand new start.

Thank you for the lovely comforting and uplifting words. 

Maureen
