[Gpdd] RAINBOW BRIDGE: belated condolences, Golden

[Cindy]

Sherry and the Piggie Pals, it was with much sadness that we read of 
Golden's last few days.  As we read, we, too, thought that he had 
developed pneumonia, and we were not expecting to hear that his chest 
cavity had filled with fluid.  Please find comfort in knowing that at 
each step of the way, you did everything you could.  Like you, we would 
have placed a humidifer near him to help him breathe, and, of course, 
would have served his favorite treats.  We are sure that he felt all of 
your love and care as you tried to figure out what was wrong.  We are so 
sorry that he became so ill on a Sunday night, with no other option than 
the emergency vet, but it sounds as though the vet was thoughtful and 
did all he could.  We really think you did the right thing in foregoing 
the option of trying to pull some fluid out via needle, since, as the 
vet said, that might actually lead to respiratory arrest.  Keeping 
Golden's last moments peaceful and helping him to the Bridge was a brave 
and selfless act on your part, and we are sure he appreciated your final 
act of kindness.  You made the decision with love in your heart, and he 
knows this.  Please accept our belated condolences on his passing.  He 
was a lucky boy to be part of your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all sick piggies and their families.

Sadly,
Cindy, Tumbleweed, and Friday
