Time to say goodbye

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Oh, Leslie... I really don't know what to say, I'm in such shock. I'm so so sorry, and my heart goes out to you, your family, and Graham. He loves you sooo much, Leslie, and I know you love him to pieces. It really kills me to see the beautiful boy go, he's such a handsome boy, and a sweet heart. He's a fantastic dog, and he'll always be. I know this is incredible hard for you, and I understand. He could not have asked for a better mom than you, Leslie. You were so good to him, as he was to you.
God Bless you, and your family Leslie, and I love you and your beautiful furkids very much.
Love & prayers,
Sarah and the girls

Go with God, Graham. I hope you can meet my old dog Cookie while you are there.

I will be thinking of you and sending good thoughts Graham's way as he makes his way to the Rainbow Bridge.

Graham had a wonderful life - a life many dogs dream of.

Please take care and hugs to you, Graham & your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Graham is going to a wonderful place now where he will be free from pain and suffering. He will be waiting for you. I know this must be a tough time for you but you are doing the right thing for that precious baby. I will light a candle for him. God speed Sweet Graham

Many, many thoughts of love are being sent to you and Graham.

Gram's been through so much and I certainly understand your loving decision to let him go with dignity, love, and peace.

You were blessed with a wonderful, wonderful companion and we were blessed because you shared him with us.

{{Giant hugs, Leslie.}}

Leslie, your Graham will be met by my own original Goofball, thank you for allowing him to be whole and happy. Our own pain is so minor to theirs as they shoulder it without complaint. How blessed he was to have you! A purple candle lit in his honor as befits the King was of your heart.

[luvofallhorses]

oh god I am so sorry. (((HUGS))) It's never easy to lose a precious furbaby. you and Grahm will be in my thoughts.

Beyond The Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

[Daisy and Delilah]

There are no words to comfort you but we all know the painful numbness you're going through right now. Nothing can be worse than this. It's almost an unbearable burden. Have a safe and swift journey to the bridge tomorrow sweet Graham. (((((HUGS)))))

[gemini9961]

I'm so sorry Leslie. My thoughts are with you and Graham in this difficult time. (((hugs)))

[Pam]

Leslie, though we have never met in person I feel that I have come to know you and Graham so well due to your wonderful posts about him over the years. Somehow we tend to think that things will always remain the same but of course we know differently. Our beloved pets grow old and become ill and leave us all too soon. Please know that I will be thinking of you both tomorrow. I have been down that road a few times myself. It is truly the most awful part of loving an animal. ((((hugs))))

[moosmom]

Leslie,

You are doing the right thing. As heartbreaking as it may be. May I make a suggestion?? Bring Kersey with you when it's Graham's time. This way he will be there. It'll make it easier on him.

Love and hugs to you honey. You're in my prayers.
