Blackie Bear

Blackie Bear crossed over the rainbow this morning.
He was my faithful, loving friend for 15 years.
He was my nurse and guardian.
I sat down on the sofa after we had walked this morning, he came over beside me, nudged me with his head, and I petted him.  I didn't know it then but he was telling me goodbye.  Less than thirty minutes later, he walked outside and died.
He will be missed.

  7. I cried with you when I read this last night, and had to come back this morning to tell you how sorry I am. Our four-legged family members give us so much, and I know Blackie Bear will be greatly missed. He's waiting at the rainbow bridge for you!

  8. Jack and I both read this with sadness. My heart goes out to you. It's the hardest thing to say goodbye to a pet who just lives to give love. We are both so sorry for your loss.

  10. I was reading Rick's post and I just remembered the Nidra you made for me. Isn't that Blackie Bear's snoring in the background of the recording?
