My sweet Shadow has her wings
Shadow went to the bridge on Friday night as planned. She went peacefully with both my son and I holding her and telling her how much she was loved. I asked her to forgive me and to understand that we were doing this to free her from her painful body. I hope she knows this. GF she went with her duck jerky treats. Shadow was my soul dog and I know there will never be another that touches me as she did. Run like the wind Shadow as you did when you were young. You will always be loved and I will find you again.

DogDancer, Shadow knew how much you loved her. Never second guess that as the final gift you gave was without selfishness.
Peace and strength to you dear friend. RIP dear Shadow. Run like the wind little one. |

You can bank on the fact that she knows you loved her and that you did the right thing, DD You made your decision from the heart to let her go when she needed to, then eased the way for her, and stayed to send her off bathed in your love--how could you possibly have given her a more perfect gift?
So no forgiveness necessary. She'll wait for you and rejoice when you meet again. Shadow

run fast and pain free Shadow, look for Daisy, she'll show you the sunniest spots to rest and wait for us to join you all. *hugs* my friend, my heart is breaking for you now and the tears are running freely down my cheeks both in sadness and in joy knowing Shadow had the greatest of life with you and that you had enough love to set her free to wait for you to join her once again

Tears here for Shadow too, DD, but maybe more for you and yours. She is at peace after all, no more pain. You still have to grieve for her. I smiled at you sending her on with the taste of her best treat though , good on you. What a lovely girl she was, that's a very nice photo of her.
I find this a comfort whenever I lose a beloved dog ..... Do not think of me and weep I am with you still I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints of snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle Autumn rain When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft stars that shine at night Do not think of me and cry I am with you still I did not die. R.I.P sweet Shadow. |

The best thing we can do for our beloved pets is to set them free when the time has come.

I dont know why but I keep coming back here today and everytime I do the same phrase has kept repeating in my heart. So I'm just going to type it. I've never typed this, I've never heard this specificly. If you belive in such a thing. I belive this is shadow talking to you. ....
I'm a sunbeam in the sky, I'm a gentle breeze that blows by , I'm a rustle in the trees. I'm a raindrop. I"m a whisper. I'm free, and I'm yours. Forever and Always. (shadow is quite a poet ) |

Sorry for being off so long. As you may know my home computer is not pets friendly - boots me off constantly.
I cannot name you each individually, but my heart is full with thanks for the support that you all give me. 14+ the poem you sent me earlier gives me great comfort. It is on my bedstand. Renegaderuby your words give me shivers. Thank you for them. I could indeed hear Shadow saying that in fact. My son was my rock on Friday night. He was there for Shadow and for me. His wife was at home with DH who said "he almost had a heart attack when I took Shadow away". He is having a very hard time with letting go. I hope he finds some comfort with Halo today while they are home together. Shadow will be buried in our front yard, over in a corner by the sidewalk where she used to like to lay and watch the world go by her front gate. Our hearts are broken, but her wonderful spirit lives on in us forever. Thank you all for your support. You, my friends here, truly understand in a way that people without pets just don't understand. It is priceless to have friends like you all. |

I'm glad to hear that DD. My Keesha preceded Shadow by two weeks. We can hope they have met up and are having a wonderful time playing at the Bridge. We'll meet someday my friend. Maybe through these angels of ours.

14+, I'm so sorry. I was thinking about Keesha, but I had no idea Keesha had passed. Big hugs to you, I know it was something you had been expecting as it were, but hadn't heard anything in so long. It is so difficult to let them go. I'd like to think of our pups playing together at the bridge! Shadow will have many great friends up there if she meets up with the pets of all my friends here.

DD, We were gone over the weekend. I'm SO sorry about beautiful Shadow
My heart breaks for you and your family. The image of your DH as you took Shadow away just brings so many tears for you both. I wish I could give you a big hug (unless you were like Shadow and would rather jump in front of a truck! In that case, I would just have to think the words were enough). If you need anything at all, please let me know. beautiful girl

Thank you Luckypenny. Shadow's ashes were returned yesterday. It's nice to have her back home. We will bury them in the front yard when the weather permits. I miss her terribly
