Rip Bandit Options

[Abby's Mom]

Friends,

I found this site in 2011 when my beloved Abby passed away. It was a source of comfort and really helped me through that time. Shortly after, I rescued new baby I named Bailey, and she will be 5 in April.

The following year I lost a very dear friend to cancer and his family gave me the privelige of taking his dog Bandit. I was already Bandit's unofficial mama and had known her and looked after her for her whole life.

Tonight I had to make the awful decision to help my precious 14 year old girl cross the rainbow bridge. My heart is breaking so badly right now that I am typing through tears.

So I come to you again, asking for your support as I figure out my new normal without precious Bandit by my side. She was one of the sweetest souls God ever created:)

[Gunners Mama]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of Bandit. It sounds like your friends family knew that you were already his unofficial mommy and that you would give her a great life. They made a great decision. It sounds like Bandit was very lucky to have you in her life. I just lost my handsome boy Gunner 2 1/2 months ago and I still cry every day. He was only 7 and it was unexpected. I'm still not used to the new normal. I don't know if I ever will be. The only thing that all of us can do is take one day at a time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
