I am really sorry for your loss. It’s all too close to home. My love passed away unexpectedly December 1st; I’m haunted by Jesse’s death. I had not seen any sign of illness- he had acted like he was trying to cough up a hairball twice that day. He had long gorgeous fur so hairballs were something to be expected. I adopted him as a rescue and had driven five hours to another state when I read about him on Petfinder. He had been abused physically and emotionally by his owner and suffered 20 minute seizures. (I did the same at one time for similar reasons.). I knew that with love and stability he would not have to live with the doping effects of seizure drugs. He was drug free for 7 years. Based on the age I was given, I thought we had at least 4 more years together. He was the picture of physical heath and had had great results from his physical a few months earlier. I gave him his customary scratches before going to sleep. Jesse chose to sleep between me and the door or the window. I think he was protecting me. He gave me his adoring gaze as always. Four hours later, he was gone. I am from NC and didn’t know about this bridge. When I began watching, I thought it was a gay pride related video. I have a trip to TN planned next month. I will be stopping to see it and pay my respects, if I can. I can’t hide the tears.
