[Dailydrool] A Bounder leaves for the Bridge

[Wendie Prince]

Hi all.

The past week has been hard around here.  Valentine,  a sweet 13-14 yr old,
started really showing that she was declining.  This morning,  at our vet,
we helped her to the Bridge.  Last night, she spent a few hours panting
heavily and I said, if she did not go in her sleep, I would not put her
through any more.  Val had severe arthritis, could not bend her wrists,
shoulders had limited mobility, and other areas.  She stayed on various pain
meds throughout her  almost 4 yrs. with us, but she was tired of trying to
make the best out of a day..I could see it easily.  Pat and I held her as
she drifted off, with our tears on her fur. 

Hold your babies a little tighter when you kiss them goodnight for us.
