Shayna was doing much better last week, but starting Monday she took a turn for the worst. Last night Dr. A came to the house, where Shayna's friends and loved ones were gathered in my study, and ended her suffering.

Our thanks to all who offered their prayers.

awww man..sorry to hear this my friend....she has moved on to a better place for her im sure...but i know that doesnt help those of us left behind......we miss them and grieve.....but remeber the days of happy barking and drool over snacks...ive given Haley ( aka MsHizzalot) a hug in Shanya's memory
 
I am so very sorry

I grieve with you because our animals aren't pets ,their family. You'll see her again,like I said before all dogs (and other animals I'am sure) go to heaven.
 
I am so sorry and my heart goes out to you both,Bob and Susan, for your loss....


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

So sorry to read this.....I was praying for a good outcome for Shayla. I know the pain of losing a beloved fur kid. I know that there are no words in any language that will lessen your grief or fill the void left by Shayla's loss....all I can do is to give my two doggies a bit of extra loving tonight in memory of Shayla.

Bob and Susan, I am truly sorry you lost your best friend. There are no words anyone can say to make the pain in your heart go away...I have kept this for a long time. It was in our local paper years back in the Ann Landers forum. This is from a dogs view >>>> If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
and pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done,
for we know this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand,
but don't let grief then stay your hand,
for this day, more than the rest,
your love and friendship must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
what is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer? So,
when the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend,
only stay with me until the end,
and hold me firm and speak to me,
until my eyes no longer see.

It is a kindness that you do to me,
although my tail it's last has waved,
from pain and suffering I have been saved.

Do not grieve, it should be you,
who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
 
Bob and Susan - I understand and share your deep senese of loss. My Corgis, Mugsy and Bugsy , have been gone now for a year and a half and for six months, respectively, after having been with me since their birth. The pain is still so acute that I sometimes find myself on the verge of tears. I keep expecting them to walk in to the living room or to find them sleeping beneath the coffee table, their "garage". They live on in my broken heart and in my memory.

I am sure that Shayna is smiling down upon you from Doggie Heaven and will live on there for eternity remembering your love and care.

Blessings on you both and especially blessings on Shayna.

I'm sorry for you loss, our pets are such a big part of our lives they are truly part of our families.

Bob and Susan, I am so sorry to hear about Shayna. It tears your heart apart; I know that first hand.

And I am a true believer there is a Rainbow Bridge too. I told my beloved Chief that I will meet him there.

I am thinking of you both.

To everyone: We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the kind words and loving compassion.

This house has been so empty and Susan has cried a river; I've cried a stream. First time I've cried wince I was a boy. Anyway, Susan and I brought home another Pit Bull rescue, NOT to replace Shayna, but to ease the pain. She's a sweet two year old they called Ginger, but I think Shadow is more appropriate since that's what she is. I honestly believe Shayna would approve because she never wanted to leave in the first place and I know she wouldn't want her Mom to cry. Susan still cries, but not nearly as much, so Ginger has helped the healing along.

God bless all the wonderful SOH members. And we thank you.

Bob, Susan, and Ginger.

Shayna's looking down and saying I'm with a great group of guys. SOH meets with her approval.
