I've got tears in my eyes as I read this, Dusky. But I know there comes a time when we need to think of our beloved pet...and not ourselves. If you have the chance, give her a hug for me, too.

My Topaz will be waiting for her when she crosses Rainbow Bridge.

{{{HUGS}}} to you, too.

Love that area - we used to go there every year as kids with my parents and then they retire in Pensacola! lol But, they have beautiful beaches there also.

Congratulations and thanks for a great show!

Sorry to hear about your dog - but when there quality of life is over it isn't fare it make them suffer.

Take care!

Good seeing you on the board, Duskbat. Your video of your new home looks great, and you'll be closer to cruise ships too :)

So sorry to hear about Boomer. It sounds like you are making the right decision, it's hard, but you don't want your friend to suffer.

Take care, buddy.

Duskbat, Your photos remind me of our few trips to Destin. Beautiful place! I loved our travels there. I hope someday we can move to a permanent land cruise area.

I'm so sorry about Boomer. We had to put our cocker, Honey, to sleep about 6 years ago. It hurt so badly but it was best for her.

Congrats Dusky on the move...wishing you a safe journey and new life in FL.

So sorry to hear that Boomer's time is at head. Having had to make that decision a few times myself, I know you don't make it lightly. It is the right thing to do when the time comes.

Awww duskbat...so sorry about Boomer. It is always hard to say so long to a wonderful life companion but you will always have the wonderful memories and the knowledge that in the end you did the best thing for your best friend!! Doesn't make it easier though and I know that from personal experience. =hug=hug=hug

Have a safe move and all best wishes for a wonderful life in Destin! Great slide show!!

Dusky,

It's been just over a year now since I walked Casey to the Rainbow Bridge. One of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. I know it was the right one, but that did't make it any easier. Take comfort in knowing that the suffering will end and Boomer will be waiting to romp and play with you again ...

You lucky, lucky guy!! Destin and Ft. Walton beach are two of my most favorite places!! It is so beautiful there and I'm am soooooo jealous!

On a more somber note......I'm so sorry to hear about Boomer. Soon he will be forever young and forever playful as he passes over the Rainbow Bridge. Be strong.......he's going to a better place.

NiteStar got any fav places to eat in Destin that i should try? I really cant wait. Shipmaven, boomer had a good nite tonite/ i took her to work with me to stay while workers did pipes. and she was happy to be alive and with me. she did her best to be good and play with the workers. She had a barking fit at one moment due to excitment in there with all the workers and drillings. but her legs shook the whole time. Poor baby.
thanks everyone for comments ;))
