DENVER...born 1996~rescued 1998~passed June 16, 2010
Hi and thanks to all for your thoughts!
Denver's journey was delayed because of serious family health issues, but his journey was completed yesterday, Wed. June 16 at 4:15.
After his needle to relax him, I had about 5 minutes and as he started to relax, he gazed deep into my eyes and I saw the relief as his pain eased. It was uncanny and I'll never forget that last loving gaze before he closed his eyes. I held him so close right till the end.
Today, I am sick with anxiety knowing I will never touch him again. I know that will ease, but will never really leave me. He was such a special boy that was the beginning of helping animals with physical misfortunes. He gave me a great gift and he has passed on some of his special qualities to our wee Ella. They were extremely close. Denver was so slow to move and Ella always waited for him and layed by him till he was ready to give it a go. She highly respected him, as well as Jake, Zoe, Bogie and Jozey...but Ella and Denver gave each other strength. He just had an aura about him, that has left an emptiness in our home. Ella was very restless all last night and is quieter today. She knows...and will miss him, as we all will.
Denver is buried amongst some of his other buddies, overlooking the river.
I miss you Denver...xoxoxo
Rest in Peace and run free my friend...

Please send good thoughts to my dear sweet ol' 3-legged Denver as he makes his final journey to Rainbow's Bridge on Tuesday at 4:15 at 14 years.
He's been by my side and a devoted best friend for a very long time. He's been the greatest mentor to many people big and small, teaching all who met him about compassion, kindness, gentleness, love and perfection in every way. Most of all, he's been my mentor and greatest love for 12 years since his rescue.
I'm writing this with so many tears...it hurts so much. His spirit is still strong, his eyes still dance when they look at me, but his body is at its end and his legs shake and are caving, to try to hold himself up.
So, it's time to free him.
I love you Denver, with all my heart...
Celebrating Denver's life on my 54th Birthday...
Loved by all...
Beautiful Denver...
In my heart forever...
A tribute to you Denver, as we celebrate your life...
Love from your Mommy....xoxoxoxoxo
