Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Trying to be positive
But its so hard.
I much prefer when Briase is voicing his blog and not me and Im praying he will again, but...
At the moment he has a kidney infection. The vet has called to tell me that we will have more results by friday and all we can do for him is keep his fluids up and give him high doses of antibiotics.

Braise isnt eating
Since Thursday we have been keeping a close eye on our beautiful boy who is hardly eating and seems to be losing weight rather rapidly. He's still drinking plenty from his water bowl and his nose is still slightly damp.
He's a fussy eater usually, but I'm concerned now as he's showing no interest in his regular mash, biscuits, chicken or even smackos.
Today for example he has had two biscuit bones, and a piece of bacon, usually reserved for a sunday morning treat. Ive had to hand feed these to him, talking him through it and cuddling him at the same time while he stays on his bed.
The Hubby and kids came home from shopping today and Braise didnt look twice, or leave his bed and he barely lifted his head. Hes also shivering alot even though his bed has been in the sun all day. Safe to say Im worried.
He will visit our favourite vet tomorrow, so ill keep you posted. If there are any Dane owners with advice, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks x
*Weve got an a appointment at 3.30 this afternoon* (fingers crossed) here a a few more of his symptoms
~Pale gums, dry heaving,shedding hair alot, shivering,eyes seem extra gooey a bit yellow and slightly sunken, totally lethargic. But my baby boy wagged his tail a little when I wnet out to poor water in his mouth just then...x
~Blood taken... results to follow tomorrow...

Much better
My sisters looking a whole lot better than last week, don't you think?
After two separate visits to the vet (thankyou Dr Sam) Ive been told she had punctured the side of her gum (inside) on a stick or perhaps a piece of random wire!? and shes had been lucky to get away with such a minor injury.
Pede had been bright and cheerful as ever but Mum noticed that when the side of her face had swollen up to the size of a football, she yelped a little when trying to scat ch it, it was obvious she had to get back in to see the doc.
The vet examined princess Pede and decided to sedate her and jam a huge ass pair of tweezers into her gum to try to retrieve any foreign ob jet, but nothing was found. Now as horrific and gruesome as this sounds Mum reassured me that it had to be done so the kind vet could pay for his next holiday. Only joking (sort of).
Mum told me she watched the whole operation and felt her dream from when she was a seven years old(to become a vet!) was satisfied. Thank god that never happed, who knows what kind of sharpies she'd be prodding me with.
No, I'm happy my Mumma cooks for me and makes little people for me and Pede to play with!
