Jude, my beloved poodle, past peacefully around noon, surrounded by his family and friends. He took a turn for the worse 48 hours ago. Yesterday he stopped eating and drinking. We kept him comfortable with his pain medication and last night, DS#3 and I slept on the couch with him, holding his paw, telling him how much we loved him, This morning his previous owner and her sister graciously came. They loved him as much as we did. "C" didn't want to do it, so "J" gave him a sedative and he relaxed and fell asleep. He was sleeping quite soundly when we held him, kissed and sent him to Heaven. God Bless you Jude. You were the best friend anyone could have. You made us all so proud and so happy and never expected anything but love in return. I love you with all my heart and I will miss you forever. Your aunt Annie is waiting for you. Love, Mom.
