They most certainly do know what's going on.  That's "why" we made the choice to eventually get another addition as we couldn't handle watching the remaining one mope around all the time.  It was heartbreaking - they miss their companions just as much as we do.  Crazy dogs!

George,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. CArla

I know words wont help the pain George... but words and thoughts are all we have. I am so sorry for your loss...

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....

George, my thoughts are with you.  All of us who have lost a 'special friend', know how you feel.

Dear George and Mary,
I'm so very sorry you lost your friend. It's the only drawback of having  pets. Your memories of Flyte will get you through this, as hard as it  is.

George and Mary,

I know your hearts feel broken. It is too sad when we lose our special furbabies.  Many hugs to you.

Oh George, my heart is breaking for you and your family right now.  I've been where you are and the pain is horrible.  You all are in my thoughts and prayers.  Take care and know we are all thinking of you.
Big hugs,
Pat A

George,
  I know right now your heart is breaking.  Remember tho..that Flyte is not in pain anymore, he's happy and running and playing with other lost pets.
  (((Hugs ))) and prayers for you and Mary.

George:

I'm so sorry about the loss of Flyte. I know how it is to lose a pet ... it's like losing a friend or a member of your family. I've had to let two close friends go, Kittle and Cinnamon, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done, so I really understand what you went through last night. Nothing can prepare you for it. But you did the right thing because you didn't want to see him suffer. I know it was hard. Pets leave pawprints on our hearts, but then they live there forever. It's a cliche, but it's so true. I still feel Kittle and Cinnamon's presence in my life, but then they were there for 16 and 19 years respectively, so why wouldn't I?

Scooter and Nettie and I send our love and thoughts out to you. I know Pride is feeling the loss of his brother ... I remember when Kittle died, Cinnamon was extremely depressed for weeks. Kittle was his littermate, his brother. It was very hard on him. Animals do have souls, they do understand and grieve. Don't let anyone tell you anything different.
