Well, we took Bonnie to the vets and she agreed that the best thing to do was to put her out of her misery. At her age, 16, it was too much to put her through investigations and scans and/or possible operation which may still not give her quality of life. Alan was really brave and came with me, but had to leave the room in tears when the vet took Bonnie out the back to insert the catheter but he'd come back in before she got back, to be with Bonnie when she went. She just 'fell asleep' and looked so peaceful - we spent a little time with her and talked to the vet about her, but it was hard to leave her there

Anyway she is out of any pain now, and playing in doggie heaven, swimming and playing football The other two looked for her when we got back and checked her bed to see if she was there but are sleeping now

We are going to hit the Bushmills Irish whiskey tonight

It is so lovely that you both were there with her. I am sure she knew and also it seems that she was ready to go. I know it will take time but you will start remembering her from her better days and for the wonderful time you were able to share.

I second it was good you could both be there.
She will be on rainbow bridge looking down on you both.

Yes Marru, we have already been talking about all the wonderful things she'd do and places she'd been

This pic was taken when she was at her healthiest - about 7 years ago - she was at her top weight then too, about 7.5 Kgs, whereas she was underweight when we got her at around 6.5 Kgs, which she was last week too

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge...

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; 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.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
THEN YOU CROSS RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER...
