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....

Yep I'm at peace with it. Just difficult because she's only a year and a half.

My wife thought she would lose it when we put 1 of our dogs down but when the Vet gave him the shot, our dog just peacefully relaxed and went to sleep.

Damn sorry OP. my dog just turned 1 this month. As much as he can annoy me buy chewing stuff, it's a great feeling to have something around that just loves being around you.

Hate thinking I may have to put him down one day. I would be pretty torn about how I do it. I wouldn't want him to go to the vet and be scared in his last few moments, but I also don't think I could look him in the eyes and shoot him. Even though I know it's mercy or whatever, I'm just too big of a softy when it comes to my dog.

Again sorry for your pup OP
