A Dignified end for a wonderful Friend

Unfortunately this is part of being a pet owner whether it is a dog, cat, horse, mouse, snake.  They are our individual pets, with there own personalities, likes and dislikes.

It is never an easy decision to make to take a really loved pet to a vet for the last time.  It takes more than courage it takes unlimited love from the owner, it is never easy and another of life's not so nice duties.

There are many versions of the Rainbow Bridge
This is one of the nicest I have found.

 Some say they will never have another pet and some never do, however most do have new pets and they still remember their past away friends as well.  My choice of a pet is a dog but I like cats to. 

We have 3 dogs and 1 cat.  We have 3 dogs because our very old red cattle dog (Kane) looked like he was on his last legs.  At that time we only had 2 dogs.  So we went to the pound and found a young dog to learn off Kane.  Well the old fellow found a new lease for life and he is still here 12 months later.

He is blind and fat because he can't go far.  Yes we could feed him less but he gets the quality out of his dinner, he just loves his dinner.  We hope that he will just pass away one night, we don't want him to but I'm afraid that is inevitable.

I"m sure his body hurts sometimes, just as mine or yours does, if it becomes to uncomfortable for him I will respect him as the wonderful friend he has always been.

He will never be forgotten, he will never be replaced, we can only add one more name to the wonderful list of pets we have known.

I hope you get to give Jack a big cuddle too.  I makes it all worthwhile when I see a smile on a face either young or old.  Whoever you are, I hope you are well or getting well.  Please come back to my blog anytime and leave a comment and that will make me smile, and I promise I will tell Jack someone wants to see him.

Here is Jack with my cat Pywacket she was 18 1/2 
when she passed away last mothers day.
 She is now in our front yard under a boab tree
just so we know where she is.

Please have a look at "The Rainbow Bridge", 
it is one of my pages



Jack does seem to relax at dinner time,
he has always eaten like this
I don't know if he is lazy or smart lol.
Right in front of the fan too,
