[Rhea's Mom]

Reading the thread, crying, remembering Daisy & Savae, would like to share my story too:

1 year after a messy divorce I got a call from my ex that Savage (our 12-y-o GSD that stayed with him - part of the "mess") had gotten worse. He's had a horrible HD since he was a year old, it got progressively worse and he also developed heart problems, so for the last year of our marriage I was in and out of the vet. At the time of the call Savage was refusing to get up at all, did not eat, did not drink, was howling in pain... My ex was torn about PTS, but it was the right thing to do for our boy. So we went to the vet and held Savage's head while we let him go. Later that night I returned to my apartment and decided to unpack some boxes (lived by myself for over a year, but still had boxes stacked up in the corner of the room)... In one of the boxes, on the very top there was a picture of Savage as a puppy. To it was stuck a picture of my girl Daisy (my first dog, GSD that died at barely a year-old when I was 14)... I tried pulling them apart, but they were sealed together so tight that I was pulling the top layer off. I framed them the way I found them... Can't help but think that this was their way of telling me they found each other at the bridge and will wait for me there...
