I asked for a sign last night that I would be doing the right thing this morning. Woke up, got dressed and headed out the door with Reno. As I made the right turn, there it was..a rainbow. A big, bright, lovely rainbow. Maybe it wasn’t my sign..I don’t know. What I do know is that it gave me a small ounce of peace and courage to do what I needed to do today.
It went as I thought it would. Dr. Fields was great, as usual. I held on tight to Reno in the very last moments and felt him go so limp. I held it together as long as I could. The sound of cries from the men in my life was almost more than I could bear.
So, he’s gone now. And the house is quiet. And I miss him. I believe he’s somewhere along that rainbow I saw this morning. And he may not have been the best dog in THE world..
but he was the best dog in MY world.

Oh I am´sorry to hear this, Lynn, but I want to think that he has now crossed the rainbow bridge you saw on the way.
Loved the “…best dog in MY world” comment. Hugs to you, Lynn.
I am so sorry.
As a former vet assistant I know his transition was easy and fast. You could not ask for more in such a situation. Peace be with you…
