[Home-on-the-range] [Jayhawk-chapter] Comet

[Susan Tabor]

Hi, Chikako:

 

You and Comet had a wonderful life together and the memories of that can
never be taken away from you. I hope and pray that you will be able to use
the knowledge and nurture gleaned from those memories and your experiences
with Comet to assist you as you move on to your transitioning to a new dog
guide. At times like this I find the concept of the Rainbrow Bridge very
comforting.

Love,

Susan

Hello Everyone,

I must break very sad news to all.  Comet who has been my loving dog guide
for almost nine years passed away this Sunday the 26th.  She unexpectedly
became very ill on Saturday the 25th.  I took her to the K-State Veterinary
Clinic very next day hoping that something could be done to make her
comfortable and take a step toward her recovery.  However, sadly I found out
that there was no option for her complete recovery.  The fluid built up in
her chest around her lung.  It was matter of time the fluid would enter in
to her lung and suffocate her eventually.  I could not let that happen to
inflict further suffering on my lovely Comet.  I had to make the hardest
decision I have ever made in my life so far on that Sunday evening.  I
stayed with her till the very end.  She went peacefully a little before
8:00PM on Sunday evening.  I greatly appreciate to you-all for your
emotional and material support for Comet and myself.  She will be (I am most
certain) remembered by every one of you.  I miss her very much and will
continue to miss her.  At the same time I recognize the importance of
celebrating her life.

Sincerely,

 

Chikako Mochizuki
