Dry Rod,
So sorry to read of your loss. It can be so devastating to loose one who has been with you for many years.
It is a good time to go spend a few days with some good friends you have not seen in a while.

[#800000]Not corny at all.. is what friends and family are for.. whether there in your house with you or on line with you..... FG's comment leads me to say Sitka (love that name since it reminds me of Alaska) is up there with Whitney and Dooley as well.. one big happy family.. up there.. and down here..
at one time I posted on this subject and one thing Id like to remind you of.. Sitka is no longer in pain or suffering in any of the ways a dog of 14 1/2 years would have.. I am betting she is running around like she was a puppy in happy anticipation of the time when the rest of her family joins her ...

[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Thanks all. I was thinking the same thing today Macfly as I reflected on her time with me and my late wife. It would be nice to think that my wife Mary is taking care of her now.[/size][/green][/font]

Hey Dryrod[unsure] I'm sure it's Marys turn to take care of Sitka for the time being. You have poured all the love and kindness into her for as long as you could. The only thing is, is that the love you felt for both of them will live on to the end of the longest stream.[unimpressed]
Please be strong my friend. You have my #. Call me anytime you feel the need. Consider me as one of your local Brothers.[cool]

[#800000]I'd say Mary and Sitka are biding their time time together waitng for the day when the family is all together again... :-).....

[size 3]Thanks mactuna. Thought that I would post this from that site for everyone who has lost man's/woman's best friend.[/size] [center][size 3][/size]Rainbow Bridge [/center] [center][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]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.... [/size][/font]

Heartbreaking! That is all i can say at this moment. Loosing a loved pet is as bad as loosing a dear friend or even close family. My condolonces to you Dryrod.
