I’m so sorry to have to tell you that Pearl crossed the Bridge on Saturday.
She took a turn for the worse last week as more of her joints flared up. The vets diagnosed polyarthritis and prescribed steroids, but her body couldn’t cope with them. She became very ill and went into collapse. Since she was unable to take the medication needed to keep her out of severe pain, the kindest thing to do was put her to sleep.
She is very much missed by all of us who loved her.

Oh, I’m sorry, Annabelle. You did the right thing but it must be so hard right now and not much consolation. The rainbow bridge is waiting for all of us. It’s where I’m going anyway. An afterlife with no dogs in it won’t be worth the trouble.

Oh Annabelle I’m so sorry to hear this very sad news about Pearl. I know the heartbreak of having to have a much loved pet put to sleep, but I also know that it is often the kindest thing to do. Take comfort in remembering her when she was well, and the wonderful life you gave her. xx
