RIP, Jasmine

May 13, 2014 12 Replies

My dog, Jasmine, went over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. I got her as a pup for Mother's Day in 2001 and it was the day after Mother's Day when she left us. 13 is pretty old for a lab, so she had a good, long life. She was hard of hearing and her bodily functions were leaving her, so it was definitely time for her to go.



(((((Joan)))))...Hugs are all I can give, but I know you gave Jasmine a lovely life, and the kindest gift of all at the end.

Gill....Jack sends doggie love to you.

Sorry to hear Joan. It is so sad when we have to say goodbye to our beloved pets. ((((Hugs)))) Sharon in MN

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your family member. It is so hard to let them go, even when you know it will ease their suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks Gill and Jack, too! My one regret was that I couldn't be with her at the end, since DH took her in to the vet.

Thanks for the hugs, Sharon. I truly appreciate them!

Yes, that final act of love is definitely a tough one. Thanks, Ruth.

I have never seen it done this way...and it was the sweetest way out.I can't say I am totally happy, but I am so at peace that she suffered nothing..not even trying to get the iv shot in. We will see him again this summer when we are back in North Carolina.

Love that man!!!!

Gill

I hope the good memories remain after the pain is gone.

I'm sure that dog knew she was much loved.

I'm sorry for you that she's gone and that you couldn't be there at the end , We lost our dog, Oddear, a year ago in February and I still miss her run ning around the outside of the chicken yard and keeping me company while bl ackberry picking and wandering the property. :-(

There's nothing like a canine faithful companion, is there? We still have Duke, but he's a running machine! Nothing like Jaz, who would just calmly walking by my side or lay down next to me.
