I"m so sorry. Sometimes you just need a good cry to ease the pain. The following is called "The Rainbow Bridge" and it made me feel better after losing my best friend.
HTH. Chuck

The Rainbow Bridge

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....

I've had LOTS of dogs through the years, and unfortunately this just seems to be an unavoidable part of dog ownership I guess, unless you keep your dogs tied up or in a kennel their whole lives. Ran over one myself, had several more run over by family members, UPS guys, propane truck guys, etc. etc. etc.... Of course none were intentional but it always was a heart-wrenching experience anyway. To make things worse, seems like they were always the "good" dogs that got run over too....the few "worthless" ones that tend to show up from time to time always seem to live long natural lives, avoiding people and anything that resembles "work".....at least dogs aren't like cats that'll crawl up inside a fan shroud to take a nap by a nice warm radiator....jeez, there's a whole 'nother post!

My dad was backing the 35 Ford out of the garage onto the ramp in front of the entrance he felt the rear wheel rise and fall. Because the brakes did not hold well, he shifted into low and pulled back onto the level floor. He felt the bump again. Then he saw it was me, three years old that had caused the bumps. The tire passed over my calves. The doctor said I was okay. I do not remember it but Dad never forgot it.

Once in a while it's not a dog but a child so DO look.

Yeah, I did that. I was working on the trailer light plug and jumped into the truck to pull it back over to the garage when I felt that sickening bump...surprising how many dogs this has happened to. Everyone I told had done it or knew someone who had. You'll be lookin' under the truck before you get in it now. Our dog survived. I'm sorry for your loss, scottyb

Sorry you lost your dog. It hurt when I lost my dog. When I had my dog we were always happy to be with each other. Given hindsight now - I'm sure if my dog could have talked he would have told me try and not to be to unhappy about circumstances we can't control.

Bryan - Did the same thing 2 yrs ago with our little chocolate lab. She was NEVER EVER under any vehicle. The only good thing was that she never suffered, never moved, but it still didn't overcome the loss of that great dog. Never had a dog that was so very understanding of every human or other animal's need. She actually nursed kittens as well as her own pups.

Oh schitt.

I deeply apologize for your loss. I cannot imagine the dog's pain during those moments. I cannot imagine how guilty you must feel, I know I would probably kick the crap out of my own truck and/or hit myself.
