Cody went to the RB today :(

Cody, the dog I asked about in relation to addison's disease, had to be put down today. Yesterday he broke his hip, only by slipping off a sidewalk curb. The ball part of his rear right leg broke completely off.. it wasn't a crack.. but a complete break. Because of his heart murmur, his kidney problems, and his age (14yrs) we decided, with the assurance from the vet that it was the best thing, to end his suffering.

Cody came to us after we saw an add in a newspaper. The family didn't want him anymore because he howled - he was left in the back yard tied to a rope all day - he was lonely! We brought him home, and he was so smart my dad was able to teach him to sit and shake a paw in the 45 min drive back to our house.

He was already named when we got him, but it was coincidence that my mom had already chosen that name for her new pup. What a suprise when we called - it was meant to be!

Cody had been neglected with his first home, so he didn't know how to play. His favourite thing to do was run around, chasing us and barking. He was a great barker - really knew how to get your attention! Also, his very soulful brown eyes certainly helped get him whatever he wanted! ;)

Cody was a very loving, easy going animal. He never asked for anything more than love and pets, and a good back scratch from time to time.

We love you Cody. Run at the RB and bark to your heart's content. Make sure to check in on all the other pets that have left us so recently - tell them we miss them too.

Love,
Your Family

Naomi and Family ~

Dearest Naomi,

Pleace accept my condolence to you and your family for losing Addy :( May he rest in peace ... He had the best times of his life with you and your family and he'll truly remember that at the Rainbow Bridge :(

Hugs to you from Rosebel, Missy and Toby

I am so sorry for the loss of sweet loving Cody. :(

Cody will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
Play free & easy at Rainbow Bridge sweet boy.

It is very sad when a beloved pet goes on to the Rainbow Bridge - but it is truly a tragedy when an animal goes to the RB without being loved. I'm so sorry that Cody is gone - but I'm so proud of your family for the love and care they gave to Cody.

Goodbye Cody - you live on in sweet memories!

What a precious face he had, Naomi. I know he will be missed, but I hope that eventually you and your family will be able to rejoice in the wonderful life he had with you. I'm so sorry for the loss. I will continue with prayers for you and your family, Bassett and Cody too.

Logan :(

I don't know what to say except that I'm so sorry. It's so hard to lose our friends, but we're so lucky to have had them. You're in my thoughts.

I am so sorry to hear about Cody.
You and your family gave him a wonderful
and happy life.

Oh, dear, Cody
Sweet face that said so much
Run free at the Rainbow Bridge, love
Herd butterlies, kittens, to your hearts delight

Health is yours again, sweet one,
The nightmare, the pain are over
And the love you learned at last on Earth
Is with you still
And always will be.

Rest, Cody, sleep,
Wake and be free forever.

Sweet Naomi, what a rough time you are having now. First Bassett, then school, and now wonderful Cody. My heart goes out to you--if you need to talk, I'm here!

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your beautiful boy.

*A Little Dog Angel

High up in the courts of heaven today
a little dog angel waits;
with the other angels he will not play,
but he sits alone at the gates.
"For I know my master will come" says he,
"and when he comes he will call for me."

The other angels pass him by
As they hurry toward the throne,
And he watches them with a wistful eye
as he sits at the gates alone.
"But I know if I just wait patiently
that someday my master will call for me."

And his master, down on earth below,
as he sits in his easy chair,
forgets sometimes, and whispers low
to the dog who is not there.
And the little dog angel cocks his ears
and dreams that his master's voice he hears.

And when at last his master waits
outside in the dark and cold,
for the hand of death to open the door,
that leads to those courts of gold,
he will hear a sound through the gathering dark,
a little dog angel's bark . *
