My dear sweet little spark of joy has gone to the bridge. He had deteriorated a lot over the last week, and finally lost the use of his hind end on the weekend. It wasn't disc, but brain related, probably the same place that the seizures originated. Nothing to be done, and I couldn't watch him lose his dignity again after we all fought so hard to give him his mobility back. He was so tired, and ready to go, and his aunty Laura helped him peacefully on his way while he slept in my arms in "our" chair in the kitchen.
I know it was time, and it was the right thing to do, but it just feels like words right now. Two years just wasn't enough.
Godspeed, my little boy. You were the best of me.

Oh God.
Even knowing it was coming. Knowing it is the right thing for HIM. Crap. Bawling.
I LOVE YOU WENDAL. I will miss you, but know you will still watch over your Mommy. Forever. You were a true light in the world. Kicked by humans most of your life, you still had a spirit that was unique and a real delight. I am so happy you got a great Mommy who loved you, you got to love, even though your time together was definitely too shot.
Hugs to you Paula. Tears are flowing here too at your loss.
RIP Sweet, handsome, loving little Wendal.

Oh, dang! I knew I shouldn't have opened this at work. I'm so sorry. You did the right thing for Wendal, but I know that doesn't make it hurt any less.

I am so so sorry Paula that you only had 2 short years with him. He couldn't have asked for a better home than the home you gave him. I am so sorry for your loss.

Paula - I am so so sorry to hear about sweet Wendal. You have gone through a lot these past few years. I don't know what to say, there are probably no words that will help ease the pain right now. Tears are flowing here as well, I can't imagine how hard it was for you. (And for Laura as well) You only had two years with him but I bet those were the very best years of his life. You did everything for Wendal.
I am so sorry. RIP sweet sweet boy.
