In memory of my Bandit, I don't know where to begin to talk about my Sheltie Bandit. He was hit by a car two days ago and I can't come to grips with it. He was without a doubt the best friend a boy could have, he knew me better than anyone. He always knew what mood I was in, and would try to help me. I am going through a very hard time in my life now and he really took care of me during this time. Many times I would cry he would be there to lick my tears or just sit there to protect me. :) I can't understand why he could be taken away from me with no warning. He was only 2 years old, and had a great life in front of him. Now I am left to deal with this loss, the depths of which I have never experienced before. I feel alone and afraid that I will never be able to see him again or talk to him. I need his comforting kisses now more than ever and I have nothing but happy memories that haunt me and make me sad because those days are over for us. I need help and can't find comfort in anything. I want Bandit to know that I love him more than anyone could love him, he was my little bean, and I will NEVER forget him. I pray that god can show me that he knows I love him and is waiting for me somewhere in a place that I will see him again someday. I know he will have a stick in his mouth ready to play catch. Bandit I will never stop loving you, I love you forever and will see you soon. James 5 Hours after writing this message while driving home from my parents house crying, I looked into the sky and saw a RAINBOW. I have not seen one in years, I know that Bandit was telling me that he is safe and happy that he loves me. He is waiting for me to come play with him over the Rainbow bridge. Please believe in it, Bandit was still trying to make me feel better even though he is having fun playing with all of the other pups and kittys that have crossed the bridge. I never would have been able to come to grips with his loss, until he showed me that he is ok, and is waiting for me...
