Today was a horrible day. We had to put our best friend down.
On Friday we took her to the vet bec. she was having trouble breathing, the diagnosis was terminal lung cancer. So we took her to the place that she loved best on Saturday.(Pt. Defiance park on the beach) 
We took this picture on the way home from the June LCR. 
For some reason she seemed to have alot of fun with the arftards. If anyone has any pics. of her at the LCR's would you please post them here. Tribute To A Dog The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wing and reputations fall to pieces, he is constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. –––– Senator George Vest, 1870 |
| You have my deepest sympathies! I have been through this not too long ago. Now, we have a wonderful little guy that is helping me get through it. He is up on my leg right now looking at me. I just can't imagine life without a canine friend to share it with! Good luck, and wonderful, bittersweet memories to you! |
 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.... Author unknown... |

It's been nearly a year since we lost our girl. I miss her to this very day.
I still look for her to run and greet me when I come home from work. The pain fades but the memories are strong. May you find peace in knowing you did not let her suffer.
