Time to say goodbye

[AdoreMyDogs]

It's time. Tonight is our final night together. Tomorrow morning we are going to send our beautiful boy off to the Rainbow Bridge. I don't think I have ever hurt so bad in my life.

If I don't reply for awhile it's just because I am taking some time to mourn. I know he had a good life, although shorter then I had of imagined and hoped. He is so sick and he is ready, as am I, to send him off to heaven.

He was my first dog, the first one that was actually "my" dog. He was the first dog I picked out. He's been threw so much with me, breakups, a divorce, a miscarriage. He has been the best, most mellow, most gentle little boy I've ever met, stealing the hearts of the people he has met. He's so precious and I can't believe his time on this earth is overwith, but I know that God has need for him and I can't keep him here any longer, to do so would be selfish. He and I had a 'talk' this afternoon and I truly feel he is ready and is truly miserable. I can't stand to see him like this.

I have to go. I know you all will understand. Please say a prayer my little boy that he has a quick journey tomorrow morning.

Love,

Leslie and family

I'm so sorry (((((gentle hugs)))))) That is such a hard decision, but you know when it's time. Savor this special time with your sweet Graham. I will say special prayers for you, Leslie, and your family, and hold you in my thoughts & heart. Graham will be welcomed by many of our dearly loved ones who are also at the bridge, including my Rosie and Chow-Chow.

I am so sorry. I don't know the whole story, but it sounds to me like you are doing the right thing, even though it's one of the hardest decisions we pet owners can make. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers ((((hugs))))

Leslie, I am soooo sorry.

You and Graham were the first PT'ers we ever met and you introduced me to a much wider world, including the Bark Park. We will always be greatful for that.

I sucks and it's not fair to have to make these kinds of decisions. *HUGS*

Good bye sweet boy. You'll be missed dearly.

[finn's mom]

Oh, my. My heart is breaking for you and Graham. I will pray for both of you. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet him.

I'm so sorry to hear your news. We will be prayin for you here at Majestic Collies. I know the experience your going through. Its hard to do but you know when your beloved pet looks you in the eye and actually tells you its time. It was the hardest thing I ever done. God Bless your family during this time.



Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm so sorry to hear this Leslie, I know what a hard decision it is for you. Graham has lived a long and very happy life, he couldn't ask for a better "mom." Graham is very special to all of us at Pet Talk too and we will all miss him. {{{Hugs}}}

God speed Graham. Have a safe journey to the bridge, and look for Felony when you get there. I'm sure he can show you the ropes.

I'll be praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
