On to the Bridge

We lost our two bassets within weeks of each other. They have taken a huge chunk of my heart with them to the Bridge. Goodbye my boys, I love you!

I'm sorry for your loss. If it is any comfort, just remember what is on the other side of The Rainbow Bridge.

Oh no...losing one is hard enough......hugs to you and yours.

Condolences on your loss. I love our Aussiedoddle, Subi, as though he were my son. I shall certainly be devastated when he dies, but hopefully that will not be for another decade, as he just turned five.

Thank you all, for your kind words.

So sorry that you lost your boys. ((((hugs))))

so sorry you lost your boys

RIP xx

So sorry for your loss, to lose one is hard but to lose both so quickly I can't imagine. Our thoughts are with you.

Two things puzzle me about this thread. What is 'the Bridge' and what is a 'Aussiedoddle'?

"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.... "

I see. Thank you.

A bit soppy for me I'm afraid.

That always makes me cry. So sorry for your loss, but you will see them again!! Special HUGS to all of you.

An Aussiedoodle is a cross between a standard poodle and an Australian shepherd. Same idea as a Goldendoodle or Labradoodle. Aussiedoodles and other doodles are wonderful dogs that do not shed, are hypoallergenic, are very smart, and are very friendly. Ours has a web site to promote Aussiedoodles at:
