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:)

Dear Bandit's, Bailey's, and Abby's Mom,

I am so very sorry to hear of the physical loss of your precious Bandit ! As you know, there is nothing quite like this pain.

As Gunner's Mama said, your dear friend's family made a wise decision to officially give Bandit to you.

Bandit and your friend, and Abby, are together, and they are all still with you---just not in their familiar physical forms. And I know you miss them so much. Years from now when it is your time, you will be fully reunited.

Fourteen years with precious Bandit--wow. Am interested in hearing anything about Bandit, and about how you are doing, that you feel like sharing.

Sending prayers of comfort your way,

Kathy
