When i was 19 i lived at home with my mum and my sister and we got a puppy. It had taken me 19 years to persuade mum!!! She was a little cracker, Border Collie/JRT cross both from working lines. I did a lot of the early training and walking. A few years later i moved out to start a family of my own and left Sadie at home. She is now 13 and has had cancer for a year now but has coped really well maintaining a good quality of life with the help of a little medication. Last week things started to go down hill and today the vet said she is very poorly and the time has come to do the right thing as she is beginning to suffer with no chance of improvement. On wednesday at 2pm the vet is going to mum's house to put my first little baby to sleep. We are naturally devistated but take comfort in knowing we are doing the right thing at the right time. I just wanted people to know.
Run free my little girl, see you at the rainbow bridge...............
Sorry to hear this news, Gregg. Poor Sadie, so sad the cancer has finally caught up with her, but she will be in a lovely place very soon, with no more nasty cancer. Run free on Wednesday, Sadie
Rainbow Bridge
By the edge of a wood at the foot of a hill
Is a lush green meadow, where time stands still
Where the friends of man and woman do run
When their time on earth is over and done
For here between this world and the next
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest
On this golden land they wait and play
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day
No more do they suffer in pain or in sadness
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed
Their bodies have healed with strength imbued
They romp through the grass without even a care
Until one day they stop and sniff the air
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back
Then all of a sudden one breaks from the pack
For just at that instant their eyes have met
Together again, both person and pet
So they run to each other, these friends from long past
The time of their parting is over at last
The sadness they felt while they were apart
Has turned into joy once more in each heart
They embrace with a love that will last forever
And then side by side they cross over together
Gregg, I really am so sorry to hear about Sadie. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all on Wed. It will be hard for everyone, but be safe in the knowledge that you're doing the right thing, and that Sadie will soon be running free, pain free at the Bridge.
Run free sweet girl, and big hugs to you and your family Gregg xxxxxx
So sorry to hear this Gregg but you know you are doing whats best for Sadie, she`s had a good life first with you then with your parents, i know thats not much consolation at the moment but after a while you`ll find yourself thinking about the fun things you did together.
