I am sorry to be joining late. I have 5 candles lit in honour of Braden, Martin, Rachael, Pudge, and for the hounds who have gone before them unfound, and those who may still be out there.
The loss of these hounds is something that, like most, I have struggled to come to terms with; it must be so much harder for the foster parents, my heart has gone out to you over and over.
There is comfort in knowing these 4 special hounds were in loving care in their last days, and left this earth with a taste of what unconditional love is - a preparation for all that is theirs now.
As I am so late I wanted to join in as soon as possible, but will now go back and read this very special thread from its start.
