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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">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 26<sup>th</sup>. She unexpectedly became
very ill on Saturday the 25<sup>th</sup>. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
