We got up this morning and he seemed a little strange! Hes not been right for a while but today was worse! He got an infection in his eye again and we decided to take him to the vet! While I was getting the children dressed he was walking about in circles and walking into walls etc and then went into the downstairs toilet and got behind it and seemed like he was trying to walk through the wall and it was horrible! I took the kids to my sisters and took him to the vet who agreed that his quality of life was diminished and thought it best to euthanize him It was horrible and I tried to be strong for Joe as he was in bits and Ive never seen him so upset but I couldnt stop crying! He did look so peaceful when he was gone though and I felt a strange happiness for him! It horrible back home though I keep nearly calling him or going to the back door thinking I have locked him out!
The kids were so sad too but I told them about that poem and that he was at Rainbow bridge and we all feel better thinking of him there!
Strange thing is yesterday, we saw the most beautiful rainbow! It was so bright I could see each colour and it was a full arch! I was amazed as Ive never seen a rainbow so bright where I could see each colour and the whole of it so now its like the rainbow came for him and the kiddies seem happier for that!
