Our hearts are hurting today.
Yesterday we had to help our 12 year old Boston Terrier, TazE,
over the Rainbow Bridge.
She was struggling to breathe, rasping…
not eating or drinking for the last four days…
and lost the use of her back legs twice during that time.
Her organs were shutting down.
We were snowed in and unable to get out.
It was terrible to see her suffer.
She had lost all kinds of weight
since this picture was taken
because even when she still was eating,
it was very little.
We knew we were losing her,
but we just didn’t want to let go.
Who will be my walking partner?
Our wonderful neighbor, Rex,
spent over an hour with the snow plow on his ATV
here in our driveway yesterday
plowing us out so we could take TazE to the vet.
The ladies at Mountain View Vet Hospital
in Sheridan/Twin Bridges were wonderfully
compassionate, empathetic, and professional.
TazE went peacefully in my arms.
My heart is breaking,
but I know we did the right thing…
and I believe when I get to heaven
she’ll greet me at the pearly gates!
It wouldn’t be heaven if
our beloved furry family members
aren’t there, too!
Would it?
Bob won’t miss having the toenails to clip.
That was a stressful job!!
But he sure will miss his buddy
when we’re out on our “Lucille”
(she’s our ATV… a red head who is a Ball).
There is a part of Bob’s personality
that only surfaces
when he is with his Boston Buddy!
I will miss that part of Bob!
In Heaven our TazE will be forever young!
Good-bye for now, sweet pup!
See ya over the bridge… keep the light on!
(St. Peter, give her a bone, wouldja?)
Love,
JanBeek

I’m ohhhhhh so sorry, dear momma and pops. It’s always very difficult to lose our furry children. She was so lucky to have lived so many years in a loving home. I do believe she will be waiting for you on that Rainbow bridge…. hopefully MUCH later rather than sooner! I love you both. 💕💕💕
Thank you. Yes, later…🥰
Oh Jan, I am so sorry for your loss!
Animals are so wonderful and leave such a hole in our hearts. May you treasure the memories, and rest comfortable in the knowledge that she is free from pain now.
Blessings!
Thank you so much for your empathy.
I so empathize with your loss. We miss our little Bichon too. It’s just so hard.
