Here’s a website that may help a little. You can even enter your pet as a resident of Rainbow Bridge:
And the Rainbow Bridge poem which helped me when we had to put our pup down:
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....

My sympathies on the loss of your furbaby.
Thank you so much for posting that. I copied and saved for the coming days when those words will be most comforting.
You made me cry again after 17 years, damn your and my eyes.
Personally I think my old Rolly dog will be there to meet me at St. Peters gate and ask what took so long and do I have some chocolate.
That is the sympathy card I received when I cremated my Kitty. She’s “sitting” here, in front of my computer (her favorite spot)along w/ the sympathy card.
I now have control over my grieving. Our song is Chasing Cars. Sometimes, when I feel the need to grieve for her, I play that song and take her ashes out, along w/ her pic and just cry.
