A new Saintly Angel

[Karen]

Brunhilde Freya was my mother's pup. Eight and a half years ago she drove to the breeder, picked her out at 8 weeks of age, brought her home and loved her, spoiled her rotten, as all dogs should be. Dad, of course, helped in the spoiling and loving of Bruni. Everywhere Ma went, there was Bruni.

When Ma became ill, Bruni was there to love her still. When Ma's disease, ALS, had progressed too far for Dad to be able to care for her at home, and she went to nursing home, Bruni became the reason Dad still had to get up every day, still had to go about a daily routine. Bruni became Dad's dog. Wherever Dad went, there was Bruni.

I got the call last night. Bruni was stumbling on Sunday, so off to the vets they went on Monday morning, as she wasn't any better. Doc took some tests, "didn't like the look of this." The results came back Wednesdau, stage 3 lymphoma, nothing could be done. Bruni went to her rest yesterday, a much loved dog by not just Dad, but all us kids, the grandkids, the neighbors, Aunt Shirley and family in NY state - everyone she met.

She's with Ma now, a happy reunion, I am sure.

This kind of news always makes us so sad.........and it is so difficult to lose our dear companions.

Oh, how sad I am to read of Bruni's passing. Sweet Saintly Angel, you are in good stead at the RB. Not only is Karen's mom there to greet you, but, I just know Binx will be next in line to help you out. Say hello to him for me.

Hugs to Karen, her dad and the family.

My thoughts are with him and all whose lives were blessed by this very special doggie. How happy your mom must be to finally be reunited with her loving companion. Big hugs to you friend.

Rest in joyful peace at the bridge Bruni..

Karen, your father will be in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathies to you and your family for the loss of dear Bruni.

[lizbud]

AW, I am so sorry for the loss of sweet Bruni. She was a
beautiful girl & a wonderful companion. Rest in peace dearest
Brunhilde.

[Rachel]

Of course this makes me choke up with sadness. Bruni obviously had a heart that dispensed much love during his lifetime and cared so valiantly for his guardians. I'm so sorry for your dad, Karen, and the rest of the family who will miss Bruni.

Bruni was indeed the epitome of a DOG OF THE DAY.

[KYS]

I am very sorry to hear about Bruni.

Rest in Peace Bruni.

HUGS karen

[stacwase]

It's so sad to hear that Bruni died, but at the same time it's very nice to hear of another dog who lived from puppyhood until old age with people who wrapped her in love and happiness.

[cloverfdx]

Oh Karen i am so sorry to hear of the loss of dear Bruni. :(

You and all of your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Playhard at the bridge Bruni.
