This beauty of a card arrived from Shirley as a very caring gesture depicting the * Rainbow Bridge * that beloved pets are believed to pass on to after they die. Our nearly 15 year old Border Terrier passed away at the end of July ... and Shirley - herself a great dog lover and owner of a very big heart - and a lot of talent too... sent this along as a sympathy card. Thank you again, Shirley! I will treasure it forever!
We have since gone on to adopt a little Bichon/ Minature Poodle Mix. She is from a shelter, and is keeping us very busy!!! As she has had two prior owners, she is quite anxious and barkingly ours!!
Thank you again Shirley for your thoughtfulness!

So sweet for Shirley to remember your sorrow. I lost my beloved dog three years ago, and have not gotten another, maybe someday.... Hugs

Oh wow, Shirley, what a beautiful scene of the Rainbow Bridge. I guess all of us now have an chance to actually picture where we'll be heading to pick up our beloved companions. Fabulous card to an equally fabulous well loved SCSer! Deborah, wow, are you loved by so many fellow stampers. This is a beautiful card to remember your precious geordie!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I too have a special animal family member. I am so glad you have a new addition to your family. Great card Shirley. I love the rainbow. How awesome is that. What a wonderful addition to this gorgeous card.

I saw this beauty in Shirt's gallery, knowing it was for you. What a heart that Shirt has. She knows how you feel and reaches out. We are surrounded by such loving people. Beautful card sister.
