My princess passes today, she was a 14 year old brown shih tzu. I got her when I was in elementary school & I just graduated college. I’m trying to distract myself from the eerily quietness in my house.

Sorry for your loss. What was your major in College?
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had 4 shih tzus and 1 pekingnese throughout my life. They all have passed, but they all lived to at least 14/15 yrs (one even 18 yrs), which is a very long life. Sometimes, they come to visit me in my dreams. I hope the same for you. Below is a poem that helped comfort me when I was grieving. 💕
RAINBOW BRIDGE
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called Rainbow Bridge because of its many splendid colors.
Just this side of Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush, green grass.
When beloved pets die, they go to this place.
There is always food and water and warm spring weather.
The old and frail animals are young again.
Those who are maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.
There is only one thing missing.
They are not with their special person who loved them on earth.
So each day, they run and play.
Until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up!
The nose twitches.
The ears are up!
The eyes are staring.
And this one suddenly runs from the group.
You have been seen!
And when you and your special friend meet, you take him in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together…
Never again to be separated.
My heart goes out to you. A dog’s passing can really hurt. We had a Bichon Frise who lived to be 18 years-old. We got her when I was 16. She was my best friend.
