    Frank, even though I will be crying all the way, I am glad you are drawing this. I will not miss a moment of the journey, and my heart goes out to you. To quote a former president, I feel your pain. I really do, and so do all your fans.

    I don’t want this to go where I think it’s going. Last time had me in tears.

    You create the most wonderful memorials for your departed pets but I end up crying over every one. Already started just by your pose in the last panel.

    I thought his dog already passed – or was that another? Or am I mixed up? Either way, major condolences! Been there, done that.

    Frank, my heart goes out to you, I lost 2 fur babies last year, I was devastated . The vet gave me a poem that became my strength through it.

    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….

    That beautiful poem always makes me cry, And I think of several dogs, many cats, 3 ferrets and a whole herd (a mischief) of darling rats pulling me this way and that, making eye contact with me, some of them meeting each other “Oh is this your person too?” for the 1st time.
