Leslie, I am so sorry. {{love & hugs}}
Leslie my heart is breaking for you and your family :(. You will all be in my thoughts {{HUGS}}.
:(
I hope we hear from her soon :( I know this is a tough time but who better to talk it out with then the people who share that kind of love and who have been there before.
Your pain will ease with time. You will never forget Graham, No one will. Someday he will send you someone in need. You will know this special treasure is from Graham and you will understand why his time has come to pass.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this :(
Leslie this just breaks my heart:(
There was so many things I wanted to say to you, but words escape me now.
Lots of love to you and your family.
Anna
I can barely breath as I read this post and all the thoughtful replys. Graham takes with him a piece of my heart, and Hannah's and Tucker's too. I know he will watch for and greet many of us who have loved him as he waits by the bridge.Quote:

Graham lived his life for you and now you must do him justice by staying strong and moving forward as he would want you to.
I can't thank you all enough for your support during this most difficult time for my family and I. I love you guys :(
Dear Leslie,
I'm so sorry to read that dear Graham is gone to the Bridge. I hope this poem will bring some comfort for your grief.
Hugs.

FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND
You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.
So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.
The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.
That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner 'til the end.
Please, understand just what this gift,
You're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.
You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.
So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.
Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.
And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And memory I'll stay.
I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
...a young dog once again.

My condolenses to you and yours from Daisy and me.
*gentle hugs* and prayers coming your way....
I am so very, very sorry to read this. You and your family have my deepest sympathies :(
Leslie, I am still thinking about you, and Graham cracker. You made the right decision.
Love you lots
I am so sorry for what you are going through and understand how you feel. I had to send my Mandy Girl to the Rainbow Bridge this past Monday and I am still hurting. Like your dog, she was hurting and her time on this sweet earth was over. Now she is pain free and doing her little happy dance she used to do whenever she got excited about anything. I pray your days will be filled with fond memories as are mine.
