[nagdu] sherman went over the rainbow bridge

[Rebecca Ilniski]

Hi all.  I wanted to let you all know that my second guide dog Sherman 
went over the rainbow bridge on monday night.  I'm sad to have to write 
this.  Sherman was 12 years old, had an enlarged heart and an 
infection.  It was sudden and he showed no signs of illness until he 
started breathing hard at 10 at night.  His retirement family who are 
also colleagues at work were prepared to spend the almost 2 thousand 
dollars for the IV antibiotics which may or may not would have helped 
him.  He slipped away before hand at the vets.  He was such a happy 
lively dog and friend and I will surely miss him as well as all who knew 
him.  I'm still a mess over this and am sure it will take me some time 
to grieve his loss.  Zeb has been a realcomfort to me offering cuddles 
and his silly self when he can.
