Our beloved house guest, Axi (short for Axel), who came to stay with usregularly 2-3 times a year when his parents were away,had to be put down this past week.A 20-year old family member, his parents are in deep grief.While I hadn't intended to,I ended up being in the room with himafter the needle went in.I had done it once before with my one-and-only 20-year old BooBoo Girl. I held her in my arms and watched her go as her light faded, thinking I could never do it again. Thursday, I loved on this poor old man's ailing bodywhile he went to sleep for the last time.I told him how good he was; how much we loved himand how very much we would miss him. And we do~and await our next path's crossing.(For those who have lost a pet,there is a website and poem for those of us grieving and left behind.Go to:http://www.rainbowbridge.com/Poem.htm)
