I lost my Baby. Here he is not long after his birth:

Here he is the day he died:

I held him within the first few minutes he was born and held him as he took his last few breaths of life. I watched with great intrigue and pride at how quickly he learned to do things - particularly great escapes - and his antics gave me a lot of laughter over the years. Finzzy can tell you, though the life may be small the pain is great.
My heart is in a million pieces. He'd been to the vet twice but old age and an infection finally took their toll. He didn't go quietly or easily into that good night but hung on and fought...
Matthew leaves behind a mate and ten children (one juvenile delinquent and nine babies born just this past week.) They will never know their Dad.

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....

I felt we all needed a thread to post and share our losses.
