Another One Crosses the Rainbow Bridge

[Bailey Guns]

One of our favorite adopted pups, Nadia, apparently had a stroke yesterday evening around 8pm. We took her to the emergency vet who tried a few things but her condition worsened. We made the decision to put her to rest around 2:30 this morning. She was somewhere around 15 or 16 years old, we don't know for sure. She came into our lives by chance about 9 years ago.

Nadia always seemed grateful that we even paid her any mind. She demanded only one thing from us...a belly rub now and then. Other than that she seemed to be very content with her lot in life and she lived every day like there was no tomorrow. Aside from belly rubs her passion in life was hunting and she was relentless. There's no doubt the chipmunks on and around Mt Bailey are rejoicing this morning even while we grieve. But there's also no doubt they'll remember the Nadi Dog with fear and reverence in their hearts for she was the worthiest of foes.

The Nadi Dog was a good one and we'll miss her.

Hail, Nadia!

Bummer.

Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Sorry man - losing a dog is like losing a family member. We put down our border collie Yankee a month ago - was very tough. Hang in there.

I know how bad it hurts, beleive me.

I'm sorry for your loss, Bailey. There's no doubt that beautiful little lady was well loved for the last 9 years of her life.

Hail, Nadia!

RIP Nadia.

I have no idea how I'm going to take it when mine passes on. When the last one passed (due to cancer), I was pretty tore up about it.

Good on you for adopting.

Hail Nadia! We went through the same thing at Christmas last year so I can feel your pain. I never read the Rainbow Bridge poem until a few days after and I sat in my truck crying like there was no tomorrow. In fact as I write this now my eyes are welling up with just the thought. May Nadia make friends with my dog Missy and the others from this forum.
