RIP Sunny

With sadness, we decided to send Sunny to the Rainbow Bridge Thursday morning. I was his permanent foster because he was unadoptable. I've posted details about his situation in previous posts. After nearly two years of behavior modification, coupled with medication, he still had some nasty demons in his head that refused to let him accept people as loving creatures. His ever-present fear and unhappiness was very stressful to him, and we felt helpless in easing it. Run free and happy, Sunny!

    From what I've read, it sounds like you made the best decisions for Sunny from the beginning. It can be hard to accept that sometimes there is an animal we just can't save, whatever the reason. Bless you for having tried.

    So, so sorry. One must be thankful that one shared their time and Sunny's time together, even though it was short and fraught with such challenges.

    Thank you. My thoughts exactly. Some rescuers will go to any lengths to save an animal, but at what cost (physically, mentally, and financially)? Quality of life is very important, IMO.
