Ranger

Zen, I imagine Kallie, Billie and Ranger crossing rainbow bridge together meeting up with all the other furbabies. Ranger was a good bud to you.

Zen,

What a beautiful dog! I am so sorry he's not with you still, tho' he'll always be with you in spirit and in your heart.

Zen,

I am so sorry. It's difficult to express how much it hurts, you did a wonderful tribute. Two of the friendliest cats ever, Kohai and G, are there to greet him. I know nothing I can say can make it easier, just know that all of us share in your pain.

Ranger has been suffering from lowered kidney function for about a month and a half, spent the night in the hospital once to treat his dehydration. He hadn't eaten since last Saturday and was very weak. On Tuesday his blood labs showed his kidneys were barely functioning at all so I decided it was time. I held his head, stroked his ears and looked in his eyes. He was so weak it didn't take long for him to go.
I knew his time was near for a while and I also knew it would be rough for me. He was my best bud for fifteen years and that's a long time for a dog. He had a good life.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words, I tear up every time I come back to this thread.

Zen,
Once again, I am so sorry for your loss. Your story about Ranger really keeps things in perspective of what is important, our friends and our health. Best wishes to you and Ranger.
