With much love tonight, Ginger and Hobo left for the Bridge...
Today we made the heartbreaking decision that it was indeed time to give Ginger and Hobo their wings
 Ginger's rear legs were just not working well at all and poor Hobo was just getting older by the day...he was deaf/blind, his rear legs were giving out, he was becoming incontinent. This weekend they both went off their food and both slept about 20hrs a day...no type of life for man or beast. It was as if they tag teamed to go together. They both showed me they were ready so we granted them this final wish. I can't imagine what life will be like in the next little while but I do know we did do right by them. A few last pics of my sweeties...

I'm so sorry to read this. The most precious gifts we can give are often the hardest ones as well.

Oh Di, I am so very sorry for your loss. Ginger and Hobo will forever be playing at the bridge waiting for you and Pat to join them. They both knew how loved they were.
 My heart is breaking along with yours.   Ginger Hobo

OH NO! I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am that you had to let them both go.
It sounds like they both really wanted to be together to the end. I think maybe it was their way of telling you they didn't want to be without each other. You are a brave and wonderful mommy. HoboGinger

Oh how sad and how hard that must have been - even knowing you did right by them. I am so sorry you had to say goodbye them both at the same time.

diandpat, my condolences for your loss. While I'm sure your heart is broken, take comfort in the fact that you certainly did do right by them, and that they got to leave for the Bridge together.
Dog bless you diandpat, RIP Ginger RIP Hobo

Thank you all so very very much for your kind words of support.
I have been swinging from numbness to waves of sobbing with not much in between since they passed In a moment of numbness today I called Pet Friends to find out what happens next and started sobbing because I didn't know where they were...I have never not known where they were I am pretty sure the lady thinks I am crazy. We are going today to pick out the urn (they are being cremated together) and hopefully they should be home by the weekend We are thankful for our many thoughtful friends that are supporting us and thankful too for Ziggy and Zuzu who are offering their own little distractions along the way  The weather is going to be nice here again today so I will go for another long walk in the woods...I feel they are close to me there and the fresh air does a world of good too. Once again, thank you all

It's been 5 months since my boy passed and it gives me comfort having him here with me. So very sorry GingerHobo
