[Dailydrool] AZBHR says goodbye to Simon our 1400th Rescue

[Ruth Mayberry]

We are sending heart healing Drool to you Kim (and the Webster's)
for your loss. We are so very sorry as we know the pain.
But you know something? At least he had someone there
for him in his last hours--can you imagine how his heart
was breaking due to his family dumping him?
From the bottom of my heart--thank you for being there!
Godspeed darling Simon...

Much Drool & tears,

Once he was in the car we headed down the road but something very
strong hit me and I just started crying and then praying to God that if it was
time for Simon please don’t let him live in any pain and take him
peacefully.  I cried and prayed all the way for about 25 minutes until we
arrived at the vet’s office.  When I opened the back of the SUV and
saw Simon with his breathing even more irregular, white gums and no movement I
knew the end was near for this sweet boy.  So I picked him up in the
blanket I wrapped him in and ran crying and yelling into the vet’s office
saying I think he is dying…the staff was so awesome but it was too late
within minutes of arriving his big enlarged heart gave out.  You see they
think looking his heart was enlarged and had congestive heart
failure.   They let me say good-bye and I told him to fly
free…my Beatrice, my foster Naomi and so many other hounds would be there
to greet him and someday we would meet again.   I want to personally
thank the Webster’s who took him in when the call went out from Robin
Martin, intake coordinator and they took him into their home.  I know they
are hurting too.  I meet Simon at the vet’s office last week and
brought him to my house yesterday but I got to tell you he got to me big
time…my heart is breaking and the tears still flowing but I know 
Simon is free of pain and probably enjoying a steak dinner and dancing at the
Rainbow Bridge.
