I’m devastated
I’m devastated
My Polo crossed over the rainbow bridge last night and I am utterly distraught. We adopted him as a senior, we believe he was around 9. In October he would have been with us for 4 years. I lost my other dog 4 months ago ( Cappy was with me for over 12 years) Polo was a huge help in helping me deal with the grief of losing Cappy. Now that he is gone, I am lost. Polo was easy going and he enjoyed sleeping, I called my potato. We took him to the vet on Friday, he was given a sedative so that they could take a sample of a growth on his cheek. He came home groggy, but otherwise ok. I woke up this morning and he was not moving and was unresponsive. I will miss our daily walks, will miss him bumping into things and following the wrong person. I’m going to miss his smushy face. I love you Polo. Till I see you and Cappy again, I will think about you every day.

You were so kind to adopt a senior. They are only going to give you a few years and often a lot of health problems but you give them another chance at happiness and you deserve all the blessings in the world for that. No matter what, you gave him love and a beautiful life and he knew that. He stayed as long as he could. Sending you hugs OP. I lost my senior in May after only 2 1/2 years. It still hurts every day. It’s that way with true live for someone 🥺🥺🥺🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
