Guest VWBuggin1963 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The hardest decision we have yet to make as parents was to send our baby to the rainbow bridge today. He was just shy of 15 years of age and was healthy in all respects except for severe spinal stenosis. He was still going for walks each day, shorter and shorter, but the heat really has taken it's toll on him. He was alert and eating to the end, still had all his teeth and enjoyed life to it's fullest. We are happy to say Parachute let us love him for the past 11.5 years and they were the best years of my life. Godspeed Parachute, run free and be happy.

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...
