I am so sorry for your loss.

Run free in the green fields of the Bridge, Shadow, where there are plenty of salmon to chase....

Sorry for your loss. They were all beautiful.

Thank you all, I really appreciate all your condolences and kind words. It means more than I can say, today was hard since I wanted to put away as much dog stuff as I could to get it out of sight for now. I do not know if I will ever have another dog but it won't be soon enough to justify leaving beds and toys everywhere.
Hanging up his collar with Bear and Pete's was the hardest.


I really hope Shadow just spent the last day in heaven reminding Bear that he's the most clever, with his dementia gone, and the fastest now that his strength is back again. Though Bear never did figure out that he could outsmart Shadow towards the end of both their lives he sure did know he could outrun him... though Bear was always too kind to him to really cause mischief. Shadow was always the trouble maker, outsmarting Bear and Pete and stealing their stuff while they weren't watching and outrunning them all when he needed to.
... Though when he'd get into trouble he'd always come back to gather his two huge bouncers to serve as his body guards or send them off to investigate something with a single woof. Little brat, he'd get them in trouble while he stood there and watched!
I miss them all so much right now but I am so glad to have had them all in my life.

I am very sorry your dog shadows life had come to an end. It sounds like you did the right thing for shadow and ended his pain. I hope your grief gets easier. Hugs

No doubt that has happened. When an animal gets to the Bridge, they are renewed. Their strength is back, their mind is sharp again... fur, feathers, and scales are back and beautiful...

Oh Sondra, I am so very sorry for your loss. It is never easy making that decision and saying goodbye, but you did right by Shadow. Find comfort in knowing Shadow knew how much he was loved and cherished. He had a wonderful life with you. Hugs.

Thank you all, and sorry for the slow response. I do really appreciate your kind words even if I was avoiding this thread for a little while.

I regret after Pete's fight with cancer I was too broke to have a pawprint done, but I've had Shadow's and Bear's together for a few days now. They were done at different places but I actually feel like they ended up reflecting their personalities well. Bear's is simple and inelegant, reminding me of how anxious yet earnest he was, Shadow's fancier for the prince he seemed to think he was. Mud for my muddog, white for my snowdog (though I may paint Shadow's later.)

Those paw prints are beautiful! I love that they are different and fit to personality. Hugs.

Losing a dog is probably one of the hardest things anyone with a beloved furry companion will ever have to go through..

Terribly sorry for your loss
