Ren crossed Rainbow Bridge at 8:15pm

 

On this day, July 7, 2010 at 8: 15pm, Ren passed this life over to Rainbow Bridge.

Sad, oh so sad, we are what happened in 3 hours flat.

I've had many email inquires on Ren and I was about to post that he was doing ok when he had an aweful stroke and pulled to the left paralyzed and we all went into panic mode.

We had to call emergency vet and went to them and Ren passed at 8: 15pm tonight.

I'm sorry to post this but I should have known this was coming.

He was my heart for almost 17 years.

When we arrived at the vet, unfortunately they had to give him a shot that helped him cross over to the bridge.

He was tired. He was loved. He was like a person in the family and I loved him very much.

I had just laid down to rest and he had a full blown stroke and couldn't get out of torsion to the left. I threw on clothes and forgot I had shingles. BG and I were all upset.

He was almost gone by the time we reached the emergency vet. His heart was slow, but I cried all the way to the vet office holding his little cold hand. When he died I bawled at the desk as BG was paying the bill.

I held him and he went to sleep, painlessly.

We went by and asked our neighbors to please help us find a spot in these rock mountains to bury his limp body. They had lost several pets and know how hard it is.

BG and friend buried him and at 10pm, Ren was laid to rest in a special spot, in a special box in a special blanket, with his favorite tshirt on and his name on his box.

I can't tell you how much I miss him.

He went though so much with me. Even at the end he snuggled in my arms and slept.

Vet said he had a massive stroke. It was his time but I wasn't really prepared for the shot they put in his heart. He was close to death he didn't even move when they put the shot in his heart.

There were no veins left in his legs. I had just bathed him and put a fresh t-shirt on. He was resting quietly until he had the stroke.

We ran around madly trying to find the vet's cell phone number but finally we found one who we drove to help us through what was going on.

I will never forget him. My only wish was that Brandon and Meghan could have seen him one more time but they don't even care one bit.

He was buried in a special spot in our yard and a butterfly plaque placed over his spot in the dark by BG and our neighbors who love animals and know what this means.

this day in 2010, I lost a true friend.

God Bless Ren.

He knew his time and only God knew his destiny.

He's waiting now for me at Rainbow Bridge.

On the way home, holding his lifeless body in a blanket, the most beautiful sunset was in the front of us all the way home.

Our trip is canceled. Between Shingles and this I give up, just to rest for the following days.

I think I've cried enough I have no fluid left in my body. Oh, how pets can hold our hearts.

Tomorrow I'm planting something near his grave. I miss him so.
