It is with great sadness, that I announce for Chris Hamann (Gliderz5), the passing this morning of her Gary, the toothless old man. I had the honor and pleasure of holding and cuddling Gary at the Suggieland Carnival, March 21, this year. He was called grumpy because he was the boss of his cage mates, who had no clue he was toothless, as he bluffed his way around the food dishes. For all his bluster, he loved his Isabelle and was at his happiest when they slept together, him hugging her closely. Isabelle said her goodbye this morning, as Chris made the most painful, yet the most loving decision, to help Gary cross over the Rainbow Bridge. He is healthy, with his friends who went before him and has teeth once more! You will be greatly missed, always remembered and forever loved, Gary.
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....

Chris, I am so very sorry. I know how much you loved this Ole Man Gary and how you went above and beyond to care for him.
My heart weeps for you because I know it is breaking at this time. Gary is with the others you have loved over the years, and they are celebrating while telling stories of the time they spent with you.
Probably even singing a song or two

I'm sorry for the loss of Gary, he sounds like a real character! I believe he is restored as well, and will meet again with his people on the other side.
