My girlfriend had to take one of her dogs to the rainbow bridge today.
This was a dog that I've known since they brought her and her sister home from the shelter as pups 10 years ago.
Last Friday, she collapsed from a bulging disk that paralyzed her back legs.
After 3 full days of muscle relaxants and steroids, she did not recover.
Rather than prolong her suffering, they made the heartbreaking decision to let her go.
I sat with them this afternoon, as they said their last good-byes;
Remembering the hikes, the puppy sittings, the dinners with puppies underfoot...
I'm feeling kinda blue.
