Tom, I am so terribly sorry for  your loss.  It's like losing child.  Carly was a beautiful girl and she certainly has left her pawprints on your heart.  She's now running free at the Rainbow Bridge.

Dear Carlygirl and to the ones who loved you more than words could express. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You will be missed but we know you are not alone and that you are happy. At the Rainbow Bridge there are so many beautiful creatures and things. Now you can do all of your favorite things, romp in the snow, dive into the water, frolic in the grass and sit under a tree, snooze on a feather bed. Shamrocks will fall softly on your beautiful soul and snow flakes will rest in your gorgeous coat. Will you give Clyde a hug for me. You will like him and you will be great friends.
