Another pet lost ..

We lost another of our cluster pets. Artonio had to put his dog, Scott, to sleep yesterday.
My heart goes out to you Tony ... I am sorry ... But he is out of pain now.
Rainbow Bridge
Author: Unknown
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
That pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends
So they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine,
And our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old
Are restored to health and vigor;
Those that were hurt or maimed
Are made whole and strong again
Just as we remember them in our dreams
Of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content,
Except for one small thing;
They each miss someone very special to them,
Who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes
When one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His eyes are intent; his eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group,
Flying over the green grass,
His legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted,
And when you and your special friend finally meet,
You cling together in joyous reunion,
Never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain on your face;
Your hands again caress the beloved head,
And you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet,
So long gone from your life
But never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together ...
Chuck

Was it becausse of the recalled food?
That sucks! We've got 5 and I know how devastating that can be. I haven't lost one in 15 yrs or so, but Iknow that I've got 5 that are gonna go sooner than i want them to.

No, it had nothing to do with the recall. He was not young .. he had just reached the point where he could no longer be kept PF, nor comfortable.
Tony did what had to be done.

Oh Tony and Ben,
I'm so sorry, he sounded like such a cutie and I'm sure you have a whole ton of happy memories. Pets lives are too too short but the good times you have had will be all you'll remember I promise.
Thinking of you with lots of love

I'm so sorry Tony. I know how devastating this must be. You're a good pet Dad to put Scott's needs above all else, even though it hurts.
I'll be thinking of you today.

Thanks guys! I wanted so badly for this day to never come, but with each passing day Scott was suffering more than the last. I adopted Scott when he was 3 years old and he was with me for 10 years. A decade passed by in a twinkle of an eye and a heartbeat. I couldn't bear to watch him suffer any longer.
with warm regards,
Tony

Tony,
My heart aches for you
You are brave....the decision to let Scott go is one of the hardest you'll ever make in your life....it is also the kindest and most unselfish.
I can't hold back the tears as I write this......
I see your Scott and my Rocky running together in that beautiful meadow....they are having a grand time.
Please tell Ben I'm sorry and give Oscar a big hug....they will comfort you.
Love & hugs to you,
Jackie

I'm sorry for your loss Tony. He will live forever in your heart.
A Dogs Prayer
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer use to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Though you had no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my God and I am your devoted worshiper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I would not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.
And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me a merciful eternal rest - and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.....

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

That is a great picture which will help keep the memories alive. Putting down a pet is one of life's hardest burden. Cry out loud; it helps.
God speed.

as a fellow pet owner and fellow ch'er I am so sorry for your loss. i've got a 12 year old lab that i look at and appreciate every day she's with us. she comes to work with me everyday and sleeps next to my desk. sometimes she snores so loud that clients can hear her during conference calls...
best regards,
scott

We just lost our dear Fidge-Widget so I can relate. If there's anything I can do let me know. Rainbow Bridge services are available at most Humane societies ($58 US to have Fidgey cremated)
And if I do calligrapy and ifyou'd like I'll do one for you with the dates on it
Let me know by PM.

Scott is your loyal friend for 10 years and losing a friend can hurt so much. The emptiness in the house and in the heart is hard to cope with sometimes. It will take time to heal ..
Sending my love and hugs and prayers to you and Ben.
Lots of love from all of us to all of you.
