Dorie
Yesterday was a hard day as both RORR's foster of mine, Lady(Eski) and my former RORR foster who I had adopted both crossed the rainbow bridge. Sunday was the day when, for very different reasons, I knew it was time. I feel absolutely certain that Dorie (corgie) was asking me to help her go. She had lost her ability to walk and had no interest in food. She just stared at me with her big eyes, pleading. Lady's form of dementia had left her so agitated and unable to even find her water. She had a seizure like attack Sunday night. Dorie was somewhere in the teens but had a rough life before I got her. Lady was 16 plus. Dr. Harman, Sr. and the staff at Hillside were wonderful. He agreed with my decision and could only have treated a few symptoms on the very short term and not changed the outcome. They are both buried in these WV hills. My son, Andy, was my angel for that responsibility. My little Gracie is so lost today. I am loving up on her.

Geronimo
We do our best to provide all available medical care to every dog that comes to us.. but sometimes these seniors just need a comfortable home for hospice, as was the case for Geronimo... While he wasn't able to find his forever home, he did have the love and comfort of a foster home who helped him through renal failure and held him to the end. We love our fosters and certainly those that take the extra care with special cases and needs.

Harrison
Sometimes these little ones come to us with so much baggage both emotional and physical that it's beyond our ability to help them become "adoptable".. so our loving fosters provide what they can while they can and help them to the bridge. Sadly, Harrison was one of them and he is now happy and at peace and no more suffering!

Praying that you are at the Bridge, free of pain, worries, and fears. Wishing you a food dish that's always full, a warm place to rest your bones, many loving hands to stroke your soft fur, and wide open spaces where you can run free and play with your friends. We love you and will honor your memory; you may be out of our sight but you'll never be out of our hearts. Sending you much love to light your way, beautiful boy..
