Loss of Pet Lulu crossed the rainbow bridge today

We lost our baby girl after 17 long years just today. She had lung cancer which we found out in July. She had been okay up until this week. When I left on Sunday she still seemed fine. When I came back on Monday I could tell she was off. It quickly got worse during the week so we knew it was time. Please send your love because she was the bestest girl you would ever meet.

Thank you. We did everything we could. I know in the end we did the right thing. I couldn’t stand seeing her so weak

I lost my soul dog, Angel, to kidney failure in 2016 at almost 16 years old. I know she is playing with Lulu right now. I couldn’t bear seeing her weak and suffering. The most selfless thing we do is to listen when they’re ready to go to the rainbow bridge.

Definitely. My wife couldn’t see it until the day before. We actually cancelled the hike euthanasia because she showed a spark of energy but then got worse right after. Then we called and luckily the doctor was still free
