In memory of Berry...

Berry aka Lizzy just left us today at about 12.30pm... Sigh...

She has been diagnosed with liver disease and she's finally gone after battling with the disease for a few months. Poor little girl. She was all skin and bones cos her body couldn't absorb the nutrients from the food and she was having diarrohea. Last week when she was warded, she gave us some hope that the herbs her owner has been feeding her was working cos she gained weight and blood tests came back with low levels of liver enzymes! I was hopeful!

But on Thursday night, I received a call saying that she wasn't her usual self. She seemed to have injured herself. Last night, she wasn't good and this morning, before her owner could bring her in, she left us...

For the little girl who has fought so hard, farewell to you... I know you are healthy and happy again with my Ollie at the Rainbow Bridge where you will no longer suffer... Ollie, you must take care of this precious girl for me, okay? I know you would do it for me... :) My precious Ollie...

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....
