…it comes on waves ebbing and flowing.  Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming.  All we can do is learn to swim.

I had to make an extremely difficult decision this week.  It’s made for an emotionally trying week…from making the initial decision and deciding it was the right thing to do, to following through with it. I know we did what was best for her.  But it doesn’t make it any easier.  Aleka lived a long, happy life.  She was exceptionally well behaved, tried to please all- never rocked the boat, wanted everyone to love her ….a very kind and sweet girl.  I remember last year near this time, she wasn’t doing well, we were afraid she wouldn’t make it through Christmas.  And miraculously she pepped up and got her second wind.  She was a tough girl.  But recently it’s become increasingly evident that she wasn’t doing well.  It’s such a tough call…knowing when her quality of life and happiness is still in tact and when it’s ‘time’.

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, 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…..

Rest in Peace Aleka…..
