Goodbye Dear Reej...

I posted a short while ago about our Reej being ill.  While on his meds, he'd have a short rebound, then go down again.  Each time he went down it was harder, each rebound was less of a rebound.  I noticed last night when giving him meds that Reej gums were quite cold.  Not a good sign at all.  Called Vet in the morning & she agreed it was time for Reej.  Such a difficult decision to make, one of my hardest by far.  He will be so very missed, but he's now in a far better place.  Reej always had anxiety issues, he wasn't friendly to many people, but those he cared about always felt special to be one of "the chosen".  While my mother was recuperating from surgery at our place, he became known as "Dr. Reej" to her.  He's now gone to a place where he'll never feel anxious again & he'll greet all as a friend.

"Reej enjoyed stopping to smell the flowers"



"getting a good pic of Reej could be difficult, you had to catch him unaware of the scary black box sometimes"  "Got some of the best photos by catching him unaware at times"



"Just got a bath and feeling refreshed"

"Oh my, big snow & short legs don't work well here"

"Look at me, I'm winning"

"Can I come out and play?"

"Ooooh, Santy Paws came thru big time"



"Reej you made this world a better place"

  Reej left this world knowing much love, from both his humans and his canine pack as well. Our other dogs are looking for him, that hurts my heart big time.  Little Ivy our youngest is so going to miss the evening baths Reej gave her while we watched TV.  He'd have been a wonderful mother.
