My buddy passed

So sorry man. Best to you and yours. Dogs rule.

Take it out on your favorite hill and dry your eyes on the descent.
Repeat as required!

Hope the search for another buddy is a short one.

Totally feel for you and your family, that's one of the hardest things in life when you have a bond like that.
But really happy you made a rescue and gained such a great friend, looks and sounds like you all were fortunate to have had a great time together!
There's something so special about the bonds we have with dogs.

Wooly, he'll always be with you in you heart and in your memories.

You gave him the best thing you possibly could, a loving home, and he gave you all his love and companionship.

They unfortunately can't be with us forever, so when it's time for them to go they do, and we're left remembering all the wonderful times we had with them.

RIP Bogey

I don't think The Rainbow Bridge has been posted:

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 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....
