R.I.P. Scout Our beloved "girlfriend"

Scout my mom's beloved 19 year old Lab mix went to the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon as I, her auntie, held her in my arms. She was so very ill, had a tumor that had abscessed. She was ready to go and told us so this morning when she could no longer get up to go outside. My mom got her as a rescue from a woman who could not keep her when Scout was 4 years of age. She was my mom's walking partner for many years and her constant companion. She went quickly at the vet's office, letting out a big sigh as she closed her eyes that were blinded by cataracts so many years ago. She was so very tired. Rest in Peace sweet girl. You were a part of our lives for so very long. We miss you and know you are in a better place, underneath the Rainbow.

Oh wow, that is an incredibly long time and no doubt the loss is multiplied by this. Me and Sebastian are sending our love to you and your family.

She is being rewarded happily right now for years of loving companionship and indeed, is finally able to rest, free from the pain and difficulty of her age.

Rest in peace Scout.

Jon and Sebastian

I am so very sorry to hear about this. She had an extremely long and loving life. You should be happy about that. She is in a far better place now with nothing but happiness and joy.

19 years! You all were so very lucky to have her for such a long and wonderful life. You were all truly blessed and I think she was too. Rest gently Scout.

Rest in peace, Scout, what a gloriously long life of being loved.

Thanks for sharing this, Delia - I know you took on a big emotional responsibility doing what you did for your Mom. Truly special, not only for your Mom, but for her Scout as well...you are a jewel!

My best to your family, and "Naners" Foster sends his Auntie D a big doberkiss.
