Zeke is now at peace

Zz has moved on to the Rainbow Bridge today. We couldn't sit and watch him suffer to breathe any longer. It's only been a week since we found out it was cancer.. and its been the hardest week to deal with. J made the decision this morning to let him go. And boy was he ever ready to do so. He had a great night's sleep.. best he's had all week probably. But was never able to sit or lay down since he woke up this morning. It was just too much to bear to let him pace back and forth.. from back door to front door. That was him telling us he was ready, I believe.

Zz's Story:

January 2005 my gf J went to the local Animal Control in search of a dog. All her life she'd had cats, and wanted a change.. Thanks to Cesar Millan's show in part. Once she walked through the doors, there he was, sitting in the first kennel. He just sat and wagged his tail. She was drawn to him but still took a lap around to see everyone.. but alas, she went back to him. His 6 month stay was almost up. Several others had adopted him and brought him back. J decided he was the perfect one for her... although his name needed to be changed... Forney just didn't fit.

I really believe that he had the best 4.5 years of his life here with J and I. She saved him from dying then.. but knew it was time to let him go now.

We spent Friday afternoon at a local park with him. It was the MOST beautiful day we've had here in a LONG time. We just laid around with him, enjoying the day. Here's a picture of him from then:

Forever in our hearts.. Zz Dog. :love:

Oh no. I am so sorry you guys had to let him go. :( I know how difficult it was, but he is no longer in pain. Even though your hearts are hurting at the moment.

RIP Zeke

I'm so sorry about Zeke.:( He's breathing easy now at the Rainbow Bridge. May he Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear about Zeke.He lived a wonderful loved 4 and a half years with you.
Rest in Peace Zeke

I am sorry it was his time to go. :( Its never ever easy to say goodbye.
What a lucky boy he was to end up in such good care these four and a half years since being adopted.

(((((Hugs)))))

Rest easy, Zeke.

I'm so sorry to read about Z. I truly was praying he was going to recover. His last day was exactly like my RB Cody, so the only thing that made losing him easier, was that, like Z, he was telling me to let him go. I still love him for that.

Thank you for giving Zeke happy, loving, fun years. I know he appreciates that and loves you for it.

Breath all that fresh, clean air Zeke! Play hard, have fun and have sweet dreams. We'll miss ya, dude.

I am so sorry.

Rest in peace, handsome man!

Play hard and rest easy at the Bridge, Zeke.

:(

i am so sorry. zeke, please find the old gold angel duke and give him a nuzzle on his muzzle, tell the wonder dog to show you the peanut butter bone bush...

My condolences on your loss. (((HUGS)))

I hope your having fun at the RB Zeke.

So sorry to hear about Zeke. RIP Zeke!

I am so sorry.:( Rest easy now sweet Zeke.You will be missed.

Zeke will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, happy & healthy.

Thank you all for all of your kind words. It's been a great comfort to the both of us!

It's been two days since he's been gone. It sure is weird to say we have 2 dogs instead of 3.. and feeding times are a little different now... without Zz following me around waiting impatiently for his dish. J says that when she gets home, Bunny greets her at the door with a strange look on her face. Like she's saying.. "Uh.. you forgot someone... I thought you were bringing him home.". Hopefully she understands he's in a better place now.

Hugs.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( Rest in peace sweet Zeke. {{HUGS}}

Rest in peace Zeke.
