"Walking Him Home"
Saturday, August 12, 2006
Our little buddy, Shortstop, is finally free from pain, free from suffering and is young, healthy and happy again. Our dedicated and devoted Foster Family says it best:
"Shortstop crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning, with Mark, myself, and Cheryl present.
Shortstop was a sweet, precious, little dog. Unfortunately, due to age and health reasons we had to let him go. He was given all the love, care, and attention he could possible get these last couple of weeks.
He loved to sit and look out the window, take walks, and sniff the entire backyard. He really got to do all the things he loved every day. He liked to take naps too. He had his favorite spot on a big pillow in the bedroom where it was quiet and dark.
We will miss him very much, but know that he is finally free of the burdens of this life and is now running and playing carefree with all the other dogs who have been patiently waiting for him.
Thank you Cheryl for your support during this difficult time. Thank you each member of the WRNT for everything you do for each and every dog that comes to us. They are all precious and wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to walk this little guy home.
Kelly"
We can't thank our Foster Families enough for what they do. This sweet boy spent his final days in a home filled with love and was given a gentle, caring sendoff. This is one of the heartbreaking parts of Rescue, but one that's so often overlooked. For every lucky Westie like Shortstop there are others we can't help. That's the part that really hurts.
