Guest andrealynch Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I write tonight to let all my wonderful Greytalk friends know that my foster Burnie has passed over the Rainbow Bridge. He was 12 1/2 years old, and was diagnosed with Osteo on January 3rd. As a stakes racer, he was brilliant on the track. In his last race, he tragically broke his leg, and had a limp for the rest of his life. However, he didn't let that stop him from enjoying life and he loved to have mini-races around the backyard, or go for walks around the park! During his career as a "professional pet," he was with a family for a few years, and then was returned to our rescue group, for no fault of his own. Burnie spent the last year and a half of his life with me, and we had a wonderful time--he was the "silent type," and hardly ever made any noise, except for when our young foster would aggrivate him He was incredibly loyal, and was always at the door to greet me with his favorite or most prized toy. I will miss my "burn-burn" but I have peace in knowing that he isn't suffering anymore, and that he can run free and happy now. Love you my beautiful brindle boy...mommy, daddy, and Bacardi all miss you so!

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
