After a brief illness, our precious little Rebel crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday morning. He was my wife Wendy's constant companion and her baby. The house seems so empty and cold this morning. I even thought I heard his bark coming from Wendy's office where he spent the days with her. We pick up his little body at the vet this morning to bring him home to be laid to rest. A hard day this is gonna be. I like to think he is at the bridge playing with CoCo and Shauna until Mom and I come to be with them again. Rest in Peace little "Chunky Monkey". We love you and miss you. Mom and Dad.

Rebel is so beautiful.I am so sorry for your family's loss.I wish you peace and comfort while healing.
We lost our baby Maggie after a brief illness in March and it has been very difficult. Although we will never get over her being gone,I think we have come to realize that time does not cure the pain but it does dull it.Finally reaching a place where I can remember her with a smile instead of tears.
Take care.

We picked up our precious little man's remains this morning. We laid him to rest, wrapped in a favorite doggie blanket. He was placed under Mom's office window so that he will be where he always was: At her side. The goodbyes were said, the first of a million tears have been shed. Rest in Peace "Chunky Monkey". We love and miss you.

Hi, slbrock, please permit me to offer you and your wife my sincerest sympathies in the physical loss of your beloved Rebel. Losing a companion is never easy regardless of the circumstances or how long we are blessed with the privilege of their company.
Getting our companion back is a two sided coin: one side is filled with relief of finally getting our companion back home where they belong, while the other side is yet another painful reminder that they are no longer physically with us as our hearts long for them to be. How very beautiful that your beloved Rebel is laid to rest in the place that brings him so much joy - - his home. Yes, present tense "brings" - - because his sweet Living Spirit continues to share your and Wendy's earthly journey as he always has and always will. Your beloved Rebel is forever a part of you and your wife, slbrock - - he is always and forever a heartbeat close to you.
Thank you so much for sharing your beloved Rebel with us, and for sharing with us a wonderful picture of him. Please know we are here for you for as long and as often as you need us as you travel your grief adjustment journey. Please know you and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers, slbrock, and please let us know how you're doing.
Peace and blessings,
moon_beam
