I had to say goodbye over the weekend to my dear and beloved dog, Luke. I will miss you my fine friend. He was 13 and a half years old, and my constant companion.
It is my conservative estimate that in twelve and a half years we logged over 14,000 miles running together.....
Think I'll have to stick to biking now.

Brandi, this so sad. I know how you're feeling but I think you should continue to run. Luke would have wanted it that way. Hugs, Lisa

Rainbow Bridge Poem
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, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
