| Yesterday we put our wonderful dog, Rafe to sleep. He's been sick for some time--having diabetes, lyme disease and a host of other problems. Over the last month he has steadily gone down hill & this week he couldn't get up the 3 stairs to get in the house--and then couldn't get to the back door. Mind you he weighed just over 100 pounds so it's not like we could pick him up. |

| I don't think a week went by without me taking photos of him--I even had taken some yesterday morning before we had decided to put him down. This one of him with his best bud, Squeak was one of my all time favorites! I hope that Squeak was waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge! If you'd like to see more photos from over the 10+ years of his life, just put "Rafe" in the search box in the upper left hand corner of the page--I didn't realize how many posts I had done about him! |

Thanks so much!
So sorry Ann, I still miss our dog Red, and he's been gone 10 years. Judy Searle
Thank you, Judy!
Ann,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Rafe was a handsome boy! He was very lucky to have you for his family. May your memories of him be his gift to you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take good care.
Thank you, Salome!
So sorry to hear about this, Ann...it's such a sad decision to have to make. You have lots of good happy memories with him. Take care.
Oh NO!!
So sorry, Ann. I'm sure you'll miss him terribly. What a sad thing to watch a good friend go downhill and slip away. Thought he might be doing better.
You know we fell your loss.
Thanks, Deb & Carol! We are taking it day by day & I'm sort of glad we have a trip to Mexico to look forward to!
Ann, I'm so sorry to read this. Rafe was such a handsome loyal fella. It's so hard to lose our pets. : (
Ann, I was so sorry to hear about Rafe. It's a hard, hard thing to lose our pets; but you'll always have your memories of him and your precious photos. For some reason, I especially liked the one of you on your knees in the garden with him sitting in front of you keeping you company - so very cute.
