    A new Saintly Angel

    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.

    Oh, Karen, I hope your dad is handling this ok. What a sad day for your pet loving family, but what a joyous reunion your mom and Bruni must have had! I know you have a beautiful mental picture of them seeing each other again.

    Rest in peace, darling Bruni.

    A Saint to watch over you.........always right there for your family.

    Karen, I hope your Dad will be alright during yet another loss.

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

    Bruni, I would have loved to have met you........rest while you can because soon all of the Pet Talk loved ones will be stopping by to welcome you at the Rainbow Bridge.

    Oh Karen, I'm so sorry for the loss of dear Buni. What a beautiful girl she was/is. May you RIP Buni and please watch over your family for us and keep them safe.

    Hugs to you Karen and your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    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.
