Bently,, my wonderful companion for over 14 yrs. This is a new addition to my website as I had never before had to experience the pain and loss of such a loved pet during my adult life. Over the years, I have watched others endure thier loss and I could sympathize, but I had never felt it for myself. I used to think that having him pass away at home would be the best thing for him. Just peacefully. Then he became older, and began to get sicker and it just didn't seem to make sense to see him suffer. The most humane thing I have ever done in my life, yet the most painful to me was to bring him to have him put to sleep. Just knowing that day was approaching was heart wrenching. To think I would be in the room with him was un-imaginable so I opted out at first. It is a personal choice always and one that I feel has no wrong or right. But in the end, I needed to stay. With my boyfriend Naz and our other golden retriever "Kody", we stayed with Bently. I wanted Kody to understand also, where Bently was going and that he had not just ran away from home. That he was not coming back with us. I am not sure of the understanding that went on for him, but he has adjusted very well. There was no pain for Bently, he went peacefully to sleep with his head in my lap.
Three Islands Vetrinarian Hospital were wonderful and empathetic from the beginning phone call to the end. I was always made to feel comfortable with what ever decision I made. Even a "Are you ready and sure?" before his last needle. This page is dedicated to Bently and every animal that makes their way to "Rainbow Bridge".
