Pepper Pete has gone to Rainbow Bridge

Our brave warrior, Pepper Pete, is free at last to soar with the angels, run to greet Robin, and romp with all who have gone before him.

Pepper Pete left me this morning, vet assisted, in my arms, gently and peacefully.

About midnight last night he had another terrible episode.  I carried him to his soft bed and laid on the floor with him while he was comatose for several hours.

He was up this morning, barely, refusing his meds in is favorite liver sausage, unable to potty, unwilling to walk ... it was time, and our gentle boy let me know.

Our sweet and gentle boy, who fought so valiantly to stay, has found peace and comfort at last.

To each of you who sent me such wonderful posts about him ... I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I know you are with us in spirit today, which gave me the courage to love Pepper Pete ... home.

Blessings to you all!

Pepper Pete - puppymill dog with heart murmer - need $1572

Pepper Pete had lived his entire ten years in an Ohio puppy mill when he came into NBSTR's foster program in mid-2007. Blind, deaf, and with a grade 5 heart murmur, he very quickly let his foster mom, Sharon Hines, know that he still had a lot of life left to live. Unfortunately, in March 2008, Pete began suffering from seizures, resulting in vet bills of $1572.39. Pepper Pete is now home and recovering.
