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!

    Sorry for your loss. It is a difficult choice to make for them. One of the most difficult things in my life I had to do. Rest assured Sunny is enjoying the strong rays of sun in a great place, so I hear. The memories you have created will stay with you forever.

    I'm so sorry, Beth. That poor little creature at least had love and comfort the time he was with you. So sorry it had to end this way. Prayers and kind thoughts to all of you.

    Tough decision as always. But you have to do what's best for everyone, and you did. My condolences.

    So, so sorry to hear about poor Sunny. No doubt in my mind (by your post) you tried everything to help him. You did the right thing by him--he is at peace now. Rest in peace, Sunny---you were loved.
