We have holes in our hearts now that you are gone….
It was tragic and senseless and preventable.
I feel I let you down while you needed me most. I should have stuck to my instincts and maybe I’d have found you in time.
I feel like I am dying inside. I’d give almost anything to turn back time last night and re-write history so you could be here in my lap again instead of at the Rainbow Bridge.
I feel like part of my heart has been ripped out of my chest – you were not just a dog – you were one of our children wrapped in fur. You were so much love wrapped in 5# of fur. You changed me – I was more of a cat or ferret person before you entered our lives – you changed us both, who’d have thought he’d love that chi-chi bambino rat dog as he referred to Cheech as a pup.
You were playful and smart and stubborn and bossy
- my water bowl is empty
- play with me – now
- it’s bedtime, mom – put the book down
- you want me to do what? sit? stay? what’s in it for me?
You always had a kiss for us.
You were like the goodwill ambassador for chihuahuas.
You never met a stranger -you loved everyone you met – little hoomans – big hoomans – other critterz.
Everytime I think of you, I cry. I think I will forever – I can only hope that Granny W, Aunt Cecil & Grandpa G met you at the Rainbow Bridge to keep you company until we’re all reunited. I still can’t imagine our lives without you.

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….

Till we cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Chi Chi you are soooo loved....
