I let Jax go today

Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of a work of poetic prose written some time between 1980 and 1992, whose original creator is unknown. The theme is of an other-worldly place to which a pet goes upon its death, eventually to be reunited with its owner.

    My little bitty Nika the cocker will meet him there, too. As will Big Uncle Stevie and Hunter, the gentle retriever. I'm so sorry for your loss. You did the best you could and he knows you love him still.

    Susan, I'm so sorry for the hard decision you had to make.  You did the very best  you could for Jax and he knows how loved he was.  Run free, Jax. [sm=angel.gif]

    Hi all
    I think it hit me hard last night when it was time to let him out for the night.  And again this morning when it was time to get up and get his medication ready for him!  You all have been very kind with your words and it really helps me very much.  The hardest part of grief is giving it the time it needs to mellow and make the sadness sweeter.  I know you know what I mean when I say I am not sure I will ever have a dog that touches my soul the way Jax did.  He was my perfect fit.  Temperment and personality wise.  Just perfect.  I am a better person for having had him in my life.  Here is a final picture of him taken right before we took him to the vet for the last time.

    Susan, I'm so very sorry for your loss.  I have also lost my heart dog this past year and some days the pain is unbearable.  Know that Jax is watching over you, smile gently at him as you envision his face, be comforted by the knowledge that he is pain free, and know beyond a doubt that the spirit of other loved dogs are with him to keep him company until you are reunited once again. 
    Be good to yourself and know that while the grief never disappears, in time it does become easier to bear.

    Oh, susan, I am so very, very sorry.  I know right now you feel your heart has been ripped right out of your body, there is a real pain in your chest.  Jax was such a beautiful dog and he will be alive for you in your heart and mind forever.  And in time it won't hurt so much, but you will still have days you shed a tear for your lost jax.  You did right to let him go.  As I always say, when we keep them, we are doing for us, when we let them go, we do it for them.  You are in my thoughts as i truly know how you feel.

    Oh Susan I am so sorry. Jax had a great life with you though, what a smoochable face.
    We will all miss you Sir Jax.

    That's a beautiful picture. I can see him now, running unfettered at the Bridge, those luxurious ears flapping away. You were fortunate to have such a lovely companion. And bless you for being his. Time will soften your hurt and you will see each other again, in the distant future.
     
    Run free, Jax, run fast.

    I'm so sorry for you loss.  I'd like to think that Jax will enjoy his birthday this year with his fur mom, but surely he'll be smiling down on you.  Try to find comfort in the memories you have of him.  Hugs to you [sm=angel.gif]

    I know that where are no words I can say to you that can take the pain away. Think of all the good memories you have had together. It helps alittle. You have my thoughts , prayers, and hugs.

    Goodbye, dear Jax.  Run free a the Bridge.[:(]
    • Gold Top Dog
    I'm just seeing this now.  Jax knew more love in the 2 years that you were with him than I'm sure he knew than whole other eight years on this plain.  He is pain free & in good company with all of our heart & soul kids that have crossed the bridge.
     
    Run free, Jax  [sm=angel.gif]  Look over your mama.
