Howdy Ags; me again.

Bumping this thread for my red heeler, Kyle, who walked the Rainbow Bridge today, and who you may recognize from a photo above. Our boy made it 12+ years (we never really knew his age) before some kind of cancer finally slowed him down.

He was great to us, and great to the kids. They weren't old enough to remember Abbie very well, but I'm thankful that the end of Kyle's road was gradual and one we could celebrate...not nearly as urgent as last time.

Pet your dogs today and enjoy the Notre Dame game. BTHO the Irish and Gig 'em, Kyle.

That dog looked like he would run through a brick wall for you. Sorry, I held mine while she died, not at the vet but in the living room. If you know that you've done everything you can to make your dogs life better, never feel guilt, just grief and let it burn into you. Dogs are better than most people, even if they can't express it through language.
