OT another QI goes to Rainbow Bridge
A beautiful golden retriever came to live with us 7 years ago. He was 2 yrs
old at the time when his family decided they didn't want him any more. We had 7 wonderful years with him. He never did anything to make us upset - annoyed from time to time, but never upset. He was such a good dog. So well trained, so incredibly gentle, so loving. We all joked about who he "belonged" to, but we all belonged to him. Even my husband who didn't really want him at first. He had not ever had a pet and didn't realise the depth of the love one can feel for an animal. He knows now, as he is hurting just as much as I am, and our three children. When I was quilting a large quilt, part would hang on the floor, off the hoop. Inevitably, I'd find Rox lying on the floor with his head on a small corner of the quilt, using it as a pillow. Rox got very sick yesterday and the vet found a large tumour and several others in his belly. We had to put him down tonight. I'm going to miss my friend. He was such a good, good dog. sad, Marijke, in Montreal |

I have gone through this with my beloved "babies" and it never gets easier,
but it is the most loving gift you can give them. To release them from their pain. Hugs to you, Nana |

{{{{{{{{{{Marijke & Family}}}}}}}}} I know exactly how you feel. We had to
send Mikey Fat Cat on her journey across the Rainbow Bridge back in August after having her for 11 years. As others have said, this is the last gift we can give our "babies" -- to send them on their final journey with all of our love and no regrets. CiaoMeow ^;;^ .. PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Queen of Kitties Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs! |

What a beautiful tribute, Marijke.
Brought tears to my eyes, as I felt the love he had generated. Soon you'll be able to enjoy remembering the happy times, I hope. ..
