In loving memory of Chevy

I needed to be able to tell someone who would truly understand how very special my beautiful boy was. We just adopted him two years ago, of course he was already nine years old at that time. He'd been neglected and was seized and left with the SPCA to find him a new home. He was so pathetic when I saw him, I had to take him home with me. I knew we would not have much time together, but his life had been very hard and I wanted him to be able to peacefully enjoy what little time he had left. For the past few months he'd been on painkillers that seemed to make him much better, he ran and played this summer, and he was so happy. Yesterday, he collapsed. We knew that his time had come, so sat with him to comfort him as much as possible. We stayed with him and kept telling him how much we loved him, knowing that it was probably only a matter of minutes. Two hours later, at 11:30pm, Chevy left us, forever. He was only 11 years old, and the first nine were not good - but his last two years he had everything any dog could ever hope for.

We still love him, and will miss him greatly.

Thank you for letting us know of Chevy's passing.
thank you for rescuing Chevy. I know his passing is hard, but time will help heal the wound in your heart.
Give his brother Trigger an extra rub tonight, and hugs from us all here.

Run free, Chevy, Run free!
Thank you for making Chevy's last 2 years happy. He's looking down at you, smiling at your love.
Thank you for making Chevys last 2 years happy. I am sure you made up for all the hurt he had suffered. I only wish there was some way I could make some of your hurt go away. Hugs to you and yours. xxx
I'm very sorry for your loss. :cry:
Thank you so much for rescuing him and helping make his last two years happy ones.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your sheepie boy Chevy. Rest in peace sweet sheepie boy. Strength to you during this terrible time. Thank you for rescuing this sweet boy.
I am sad to hear of Chevy's passing, but glad to hear that he at last had some good times. He, Dixie and all the dogs from that place so deserve it.

Chevy might very well have been Dixie's father...as she was part of the same seizure 2 years ago.

What a legacy he has left behind....Hugs... :cry: :cry:
Sue,

I am so very sad to hear of Chevy's passing. Take comfort in knowing that you provided the BEST two years of his life, you were his "rescue angel".. he knew love and warmth and comfort and security in your home.

My Murphy says "run free my father, " I will see you again someday at the bridge, I hope you will recognize me.

Love Brenda and Murphy.
You gave Chevy a chance for a life with love, happiness and fun. I am sorry for your loss.
Very sorry to hear about your loss of Chevy.
I so very sorry for your loss. But thank you for seeing the beauty within a neglected, older dog. You gave him what no one else would... unconditional love and a happy home to live out his life.
What a lucky boy Chevy was to have had you. He is playing happily now. Take care.
I'm so sorry about your boy :( . He had two happy years and went to the bridge knowing that someone loved him enough to be there in his final moments. :ghug:
There is a special place in heaven for you and others who do this...Chevy is free of pain and bragging at the Rainbow bridge about the last 2 years of his life.
God speed Chevy...and God bless you!
Chevy was so lucky to have spent the last two years of his life with you. Thank you for rescuing him and doing all you could to make the rest of his life happy.
I sorry you had so little time. :cry: Having gone through similar experiences I understand your pain. It is a comfort that you gave him a chance at a wonderful life, but pain that it was so short. :kiss: You did well and deserve the best. :ghug:
What a dear you are for adopting an older sheepie! I am so sorry for your loss, I understand your pain.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Chevy. It's obvious that he was very much loved and cared for the last two years of his life.

I just wanted to thank you all for your kind words of support.

Rob wanted me to point out that my picture is actually our remaining boy - Tigger. Another rescue, but he has had a much better experience and is only 3 and a half. He's doing quite well, although it's obvious he misses Chevy too.

Hi,

I'm so sorry about the loss of Chevy. How lucky he was to have spent his remaining time in such a wonderful home as yours and very obviously loved. His previous years by your description were not so good and I hope you find solace knowing that you were able to give him happiness in the time spent with you.

He was a beautiful boy.
