Dan and I would like to thank everyone for all their kind words about the loss of our Bonehead. To Conrad who sent me the Rainbow Bridge poem. Thank you so much. I found a web-site where I could insert our names into the poem. http://www.rainbow-bridge-poem.com/ This is the neatest poem and I love that we could personalize it...........We look for her everywhere in the 5th wheel. It helps to write about her.
Dan, Patty & Bonehead At 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 Bonehead suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster...... You have been spotted, Dan and Patty, and when you and your special friend, Bonehead, finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress her beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of Bonehead, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart...... Then Dan, Patty and Bonehead cross Rainbow Bridge together......

Hi Patti & Dan,
We're so sorry to hear about Bonehead. We had just started reading your blog a week or so ago (one of our mutual readers referred us to your site because we're planning a trip to San Carlos) & we thought Bonehead was so cool. It looked like she was having a wonderful time on her travels.

It's so hard to lose such a beloved friend. Just know that the love you shared continues forever. The Rainbow Bridge was so touching.
