R.I.P. Scrapper (Pappy) UPDATE

[OvertheHenHouse]

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's a terrible thing to find your pet like that. I know you'll see him at the Rainbow Bridge.

That breaks my heart.

I'm sorry

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....

Its been 3 weeks without him and I miss him soo much still

We buried him by his tree and every morning and evening I say hi to him.

There was an odd looking rock in our yard since we moved here.That rock is now his headstone.

DW bought a tree for him and placed it by his burial mound

I saw the log that he used as a scratching post and placed it by his grave

DW moved his bench over by his grave and sometimes I sit there waiting for him,talking to him

before spring I will buy packets of wild flowers to grow on his grave.

I miss him soo much it hurts. I see him everywhere in the yard and start to cry again.

I am so sorry. I too know how hard that pain is. I went through it with my own cat years ago...The pain gradually goes away but the happy loving times remain-especially when the leaves fall. He used to hide in the leaf piles and attack me when I walked by. It was our little game

I know.

We lost two dogs this year, one to old age and one quite unexpectedly, and I have been mourning them for months.

It hurts so much when they're gone, like a hole in the heart that will never heal. Pappy will always be your special friend and connection. It sounds as though you've created a beautiful memorial. I'm glad that you can sit there an talk to him...
