You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. The bright eyes are intent the eager body quivers. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends, so they can run and play together. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. And I can only hope that God gives me the strength to keep it together, as Daisy is like loosing a child to a certain degree! I'll keep you in my prayers, and ask God to put your heart at rest. So in addition to trying to help both my Daughter & Wife in dealing with the pain, I'm trying to stand strong myself which I'm finding much harder than I had expected! I'll be the one taking her to the Vet, saying goodbye. In addition to handling this pain with my Daughter, Daisy really has become my Dog, acknowledging me as the "alpha male". Why does this have to happen now? Why Daisy? and many other why's. By doing this, although she was just balling, it was helping her little mind reason with all the "Why's". She answered, "she won't be in pain any longer", She will be able to see again in Heaven", "She'll be able to eat whatever she wants" etc. One thing that helped my Daughter (while I was telling her the bad news), was asking her what are the benefits to Daisy by doing this. My Daughter doesn't know life without her. As it has become evident that we have done all we can for her to prolong the inevitable, and now the time has come. since diagnosis, and has a very hard time getting around now. She now has cateracts in both eyes, hence complete blindness. even with the best care possible, buying VERY expensive prescribed food for her for nearly a year now, she has digressed very fast.
Our Golden, Daisy, has had diabetes for nearly a year now, and we have had to give her two insulin shots a day, everyday since she was diagnosed. I am a Father to a 12 year old Daughter, and I just told her last night that we are going to have to put our Golden Retriever to sleep this week.
