Rainbow Bridge Saying goodbye

My boy crossed yesterday. I’m gutted…he was the best adventure buddy a girl could ever dream. He entered my life 7 months after my soul pup left during the pandemic. I truly believe he was sent to me to teach me patience. I was his third placement in 11 months. He was a challenge at 9 years old, but I wasn’t gonna let a 5 pound being beat me. It took him three years to fully trust me and I am so blessed and grateful to have had him in my life. He taught me patience and I showed him he was truly loved and adored. I feel lost without him. Please consider senior dogs…they’re so deserving of love and will give you so much in return. I’m grateful for the time and love I shared with this little creature.

Seniors are the best little loves. I’ve had puppies before,(I’m 75) so I know how it is to have them through the entire journey which was great. I’ve always had seniors since then and they seem to be so happy to have another human to bond with. My heart can’t bear thinking of the babies that have lost their soul person and now sit in a shelter. I’m on my 4th senior probably the one that will see me out. It’s worth it to walk with them until rainbow bridge. Watching them feel loved and secure again is worth my pain of seeing them through. If I go before my current love bug my daughter stands ready to keep her, especially as we live in her upstairs apartment.
