Goodbye, Cassie :(

[AdoreMyDogs]

For those of you who remember Cassie, the little rescue pug I adopted for my mom back many years ago. Well Cassie took a turn for the worse last night and it was assumed she's been living with a brain tumor for quite some time, but last night she went from her happy little self, to a very scared, confused, distressed little girl.

My mom had been waiting until Cassie was no longer happy before she made the decision to help her to Rainbow Bridge. My mom, bless her heart, was such a saint to still see goodness and joy in Cassie, even though she stopped knowing that the outside was where she was supposed to go to the bathroom months ago, and she could neither see nor hear anything. Cassie had regular seizures, and they were getting more frequent, with the final one being obvious that Cassie no longer needed to be here on earth, and that she was ready to meet the beloved pets we've had the pleasure of knowing.

It was very peaceful. My moms 2 good friends came to spend time with her and Cassie (they all loved Cassie so much) and then my moms 2 friends wanted to come with my mom to the vet hospital to say goodbye to Cassie. Cassie was surrounded by love even in her last moments here on Earth.

We love you Cassie. You lived a very long (almost 16 years old) and happy life with my mom. You were one of a kind and I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there with my mom while you were at your last vet apointment. We'll never forget you, little girl :(

She sounds like a sweet dog who touched many lives. RIP Sweet Cassie.

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that you lost Cassie (is there a thread where i can read about her, i haven't been on here for a while?). I'm glad that she died well, and I'm sure you let her live her life to her full potential.

Leslie I remember Cassie! She was one of the first puggilys that I fell in love with right here on PT. I have been meaning to ask you how she was doing as I knew she was getting up in years. I am so sorry to hear this. I know that there is a hole in your mom's heart tonight. Please pass these along for me. (((hugs))) I know that Cassie has met up with Graham and they are talking about old times.

RIP Cassie. Run hard on that Rainbow Bridge. I am sure Lady Girl is showing you the ropes...and balls, treats, gravy waterfulls, etc, etc. Rest well, sweet girl.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I am a firm believer there is a special place in Heaven for all of our pets who have passed on. I know I will be greeted by quite a few of them and will be thrilled to see them all!! I can't express how my heart is breaking for you and your Mom. I am very sure that Cassie couldn't have had a better home and was loved dearly. I am new to this site and can see already just by reading some of the posts how much everyone here loves animals, just as I do. Again, my heartfelt condolences to you. Kelley

Yes, Leslie, I remember when you got Cassie for your mom. Seems like yesterday. I'm so sad Cassie isn't with us physically, but she will always be in our hearts. Bless your mom for loving her so much to make the decision to send her to the Bridge. I'm sure Graham is waiting for her.

Very sad to hear about Cassie. But so glad she was surrounded by those that loved her when it came time to say goodbye. I'm glad your mom wasn't alone for that. Rest peacefully, Cassie.

Thank you very much for your sweet comments, everyone. My mom also wanted me to thank you. She read the comments and she cried. I told her she should create an account and thank you all herself, she said that she'll try to make the time to do so.

Ritzie, her shih tzu, still looks for his sister, Cassie. He is missing Cassie for sure. I know Cassie is in a wonderful, beautiful place, but we all miss her.

Leslie, forgive me, please, for not seeing this sooner. :( I have to tell you that after all the health issues with dear Cassie, over the years, I thought I had missed her passing away. For her to live to almost 16 years old is remarkable! What a sweet soul, and what a blessing you and your mother were to her all those years. Without that love and good care, she surely wouldn't have lived so long.

Rest in peace, dear Cassie. We always loved you and will, forever. :)
