That day

It's the day a pet parent dreads but can't avoid.

My dear friend Julie assisted her sweet girl Chloe to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday.  Chloe developed some kind of urinary problem and she failed rapidly.  Julie and her husband made the decision to send Chloe to a place of endless treats and tireless games of throw-the-ball-throw-the-ball-throw-the-ball-throw-the-ball.

Be at peace, sweet girl.

    Oh this is sad but it's something that has to be done - I know from experience. :(

    Chloe looks like she was a big love, as most labs are. I've found myself in that position too many times in the nearly 40 years of being owned by pets. It's part of the deal; unlimited love and devotion from them in exchange for taking care of their needs, whatever they are.

  1. I've had to do this a few times. It's heart wrenching. RIP Chloe. ((hugs)) to Julie and her husband.

  1. A sad moment. But a lovely sentiment about the Rainbow bridge. I feel for your friends.

  1. It hurts just as much as the first time. Lovely Chloe is now resting with all the other pets.

  1. Wonderful haiku and wonderful friend you are. Still thinking of Julie...Chloe was a beautiful dog.
