Another visit to the bridge





Harry Beary O'Carey Reilly Bach aka "the cowardly lion" went to the Rainbow Bridge this morning. Late last night he lost use of his rear legs. Mom and Dad kept him comfortable through the night, loved him and said their good byes. The vet confirmed their fears, he had ruptured another disc in his back. At his age, surgery would not be appropriate and there was no guarantee he would survive, let alone recover.

My parents made the most difficult decision and gave Harry the most wonderful gift.
He joins his family at the bridge, Casey, Max, Molly and Murphy.

Take care of each other...run, howl, eat all the greenies you can, and know we will all be together again some day.

We love you Harry...I will miss you and all the things that made you the King of the Six Pack.

A hard decision but also a loving one. Take care of each other.

So sorry to read this post. The kindest and best thing to do is so often the hardest and most painful. My thoughts are with you and your family. I trust your memories will comfort you.

You guys are having a rough year with your lovely doggy family. Well, tell you mom and dad they gave their all and that's all they could do. Just remember the good things.
