Rest in Peace, Rosie

My beautiful 7 year old Beagle was sent to the Rainbow Bridge on Oct. 4, 2008. My parents had to put down Rosie on Saturday morning, she started having back problems, and the vet gave her medication to help her ease the pain, and it worked for a while, then, for some reason, my parents said she came back inside hobbling, basically dragging herself behind the tv set, and just yelping and whimpering, and panting, trying to figure out what happened with her back legs, and so my parents took her to the vet, and found out that she was paralyzed from her middle of her back to her back legs. It would have cost us thousands of $ to have surgery on her, which we cannot afford and there was no other guarantees, no other options, so.. we had to put her to sleep, to ease her pain and now she is in a better place.. I just regret that I could not be home for her, to say goodbye, and that is enough to kill me right now. In dedication, I would like to share my “cards/prints” I have used of her.

Rest easy pretty girl, you can run again, and I’ll see you again someday. Thanks for being a great dog and you’ll be deeply missed.
