Bottom line, our dog has been going downhill and we finally decided today, she just isn't doing well.
Today was my mother's birthday, and just after getting her favorite simple KFC meals it became apparent our dog Tara was at the end of the line. I had hoped we could put it off. But unfortunately my mom's birthday was not the happiest.
Tomorrow is Tara's birthday. She just missed being 12, and thus being allowed in the 13 Club of the German Shepherd Club of America.
Too late now to try to post pix. I may try later.
Goodnight, my sweets.
Prayers for you, OILine Rebel. I was right where you are last July. It hurts like hell. So sorry for your loss. (((hugs))) Mom
I am so sorry. RIP dear Tara.
God Bless you and your Family. RIP Tara.
I had to put my 14 year old Springer Spaniel down last Wednesday. You have my deepest sympathy.
May the Lord bless and keep you through a hard spot. Remember the years with him and all the joy he brought to you.
So sad for your loss. My condolences. I lost my 14 year old companion in November. It impacted me more than I would have imagined!
Old Jake liked to swim every day the lake was ice free during his eight brief years on the earth.
He developed a fast growing cancer on his lower jaw and the vet said there was nothing he could do.
Son Jeremy was away in college when the diagnosis came in. We kept Jake going through the last winter and let him have one last swim when Jer returned home in the spring.
We toweled the big dog off and took him to the vet's, his last stop.
Condolences, RIP.
I want to thank all of you for your kindness.
FR truly has thoughtful people. Meanwhile, I post on my Facebook before FR to some friends and childhood-bud cousins and nary a reply from “real” people I know well. Come here and I’m overwhelmed.
Technical question: does anyone know if there is an EASIER way of posting photos from one’s PC to FR rather than having to slowly put a bunch on Photobucket (i.e) and then transferring to here?
I’m so sorry. My beloved kitty went to the Rainbow Bridge on New Years Eve and it still hurts. I wish I could give you a big hug IRL to let you know we love you
It's our sad duty to do the right thing by our dogs - and my day is not far off.
So sorry for your loss tOLR...
I’m so sorry for your loss, I know it hurts like nothing else.
I can’t imagine life without a dog. We know that one day they will break our hearts, but we take them in anyway.
I’m so sorry. What a beautiful girl she was.
Condolences. Very sorry to hear this.
I am so sorry.
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 who 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 bright 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 upon 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 Rainbow Bridge together....
