Fh has to put one of his dogs down today

Thanks girls, its happening in less than 3 hours.

I'm a dog groomer and 7 days a week I'm around animals. All I can say is when an animal gets to the point where they aren't comfortable anymore-it's the only fair thing to do. I'm sorry for the loss of your angel.

just spoke to FH. she's gone

i have been through that also

i'm so sorry for your loss

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. Her bright eyes are intent; Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her 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....

This is another poem that might make you feel a little more better. Because no matter what, your dog will always be in your hearts' and thoughts.

A Loan From God

God promised at the birth of time,
A special friend to give,
Her time on earth is short, he said,
So love her while he lives.

It may be for eight or ten years,
Or only two or three,
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose,
And silken velvet ears,
A heart as big as all outdoors,
To love you through the years.

Hier puppy ways will gladden you,
And antics bring a smile,
As guardian or friend she will,
Be loyal all the while.

SHe'll bring her charms to grace your life,
And though her stay be brief,
When she's gone the memories,
Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But lessons only a dog can teach,
I want you each to learn.

I've looked the whole world over,
In search of guardians true,
And from the folk that crowd life's land,
I have chosen you.

Whatever love you give to her,
Returns in triple measure,
Follow her lead and gain a life,
Brim full of simple pleasures.

Enjoy each day as it comes,
Allow your heart to guide,
Be loyal and steadfast in love,
As the dog there by your side.

Now will you give her all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take her back again?

I fancy each of us would say,
Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joys this dog shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've know,
Forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for her,
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.

If by our love we've managed,
God's wishes to achieve,
In memory of her that we have loved,
And to help us while we grieve;

When our faithful bundle departs,
This earthly world of strife,
We'll get yet another pup,
And love her all his life.
