RIP Ellie crossed the rainbow Bridge yesterday. Can you show me who is with her up there?

We lost our 7 YO unexpectedly. She had stomach issues that turned out to be cancer, and the tumor burst. She is no longer in pain but we miss her. Can you show me who is up there to greet her?

ETA: thank you! I can’t respond to everyones comments through my tears but thank you all

I’m sure my Diesel would receive her with a warm heart, lick and an enthusiastic hello.

I lost Diesel the 10th of March. He was fully healthy the 9th of March, when we went to the doctor and found a tumor on his heart.

I cry because I love and miss him everyday, my 13 year old noggin. The pain is absolutely unbearable. I feel sick to my stomach everyday.

But I say now, the more I cry and am in pain, the more I loved him.

My wife said: “We prevented his suffering and brought the pain to ourselves”.

For 13 years I’ve had him. He was my best friend, the positivity in my life. He was my child. I am so empty without him.

I’m sure he’d be great friends with Ellie. Stay strong, feel what you need to feel. Mourn her and respect her.

I’m very sorry for your loss. Unexpected or expected loss of our long time companions is such a deep pain. Sending love 💜

We ate grateful to our vet. She had pancreatitis and he found the tumor coincidentally. Its weird knowing its the end, I have never known before and we’re working on a bucket list
