Guest StriderDog Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Your hips and back failed you. Your legs were weak. I tried to keep you comfortable and safe. I tried to keep you with me. Things got worse, you fell and couldn't rise without help, and still, I tried to keep you with me. I couldn't ask you to bear the pain and fear any more. I'm so sorry. I don't know how to go on without you, but I wouldn't give you back your pain just to keep you with me. I love you so much. And a quote from the book that named you: “PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way. GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what? GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise. PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad. GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest caiteag Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 My heart sank when I saw Strider's name. I am so sorry, Meg. It is so hard to watch their back legs slowly fail, isn't it? You just will them to somehow be ok for one more day, until the day that they just aren't. My heart and prayers are with you... Run free, beautiful Strider... enjoy those white shores and green fields... play with my Quinnie and all the wonderful hounds who have gone before you.
