My sweet old girl, (my avi) Missy, who was my best friend for 18+ years finally crossed the rainbow bridge on October 20th. It was her time, and I was there with her at the vet's office.
She was supposed to be a gift for my 5 year old niece back in 1997. I brought her home, and my niece squealed with joy. Unfortunately for my niece, Missy had already made her choice and it was me. Missy slept on my bed every day and night. She would crawl on my pillow and we would cuddle every morning. I loved that girl so much.
Even the last night, when she was having trouble breathing, she still crawled up to be with me.
I was so heartbroken. My house is so quiet. My bed is so empty.
On Wednesday night, I went to the vet's to pick up her ashes. I was talking with the vet tech and the receptionists about my life with Missy, and all of a sudden one said look outside. We rushed to the door. It was a beautiful rainbow. A full vibrant arch. We all started crying because we realized it was Missy coming to the edge of the bridge to say goodbye.
The rainbow became a full double rainbow. It was like nothing I've ever seen before. The whole way home, I was able to see it in all its glory. Here is a picture a took when I pulled over to look at it.
This gave me peace and closure. I know my girl is running and playing and pain free.
