claudiav Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 My Sweet Sarge is now an Angel at the Rainbow Bridge. His frail little body could no longer fight the IBD or cancer that infiltrated his GI tract. Yesterday, he lost all color and was likely bleeding internally. He was not absorbing any protein from any food he was getting. He'd lost so much blood over the past two weeks that he was anemic and at the point of needing a blood transfusion. Even though the biopsy results are still not in, the vets are certain that his body could not benefit from chemo or any further treatment. He was so weak he could not stand, so we ended his suffering and let him cross the Rainbow Bridge, where I am sure he is healthy, eating with a voracious appetite, and chasing bunnies with Remy & Shaka.

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...

claudiav Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Claudia, I am so saddened to see that you have had to help your old fella to the Bridge. Every moment you shared together was special, I know. Godspeed Sarge. You sure do know Jan. I loved reading about Seamie and seeing his pics and I hoped Sarge could live as long as Seamie... but at least he was happy and loved here, and he was certainly a heartbreaker... There was not a single soul he met that he didn't endear... he was loved by everyone, and he loved everyone (two legged, four legged, etc)... old dogs are the best!!!
