I haven't posted in a few months, but would like for you guys to know about my sweet 10 1/2 year-old bear Pepper. He was a true feisty Cairn, he was also a beautiful little black bear with sparkling eyes, and he loved life (as defined by walks and good snacks and cuddles, and surveying his domain, my back yard). He fought kidney trouble for about a year and a half before it finally caught up with him. He let me know he was ready to go, as dogs do, and yesterday the vet let him get sleepy in my arms with a sedative before taking him away. I will never forget the compassion and kindness of the clinic I have worked with. I feel so sad, but believe my little guy is free and strong and playing by the Rainbow Bridge.

We've missed you Pam. We've only known you and Pep for five years, but in his years with you, he's created a lifetime of memories. I hope when the pain eases his memories bring comfort and happiness to you again, as he did in your life together.

So sorry to hear about Pep. Like others have said, we know how you feel because
we've been there. I still miss those who have gone before me every day.
As Brad says, hope the pain eases and gives way to beautiful memories.

We too are sorry to hear of Pepper's passing. He waged a long and courageous fight, and stayed by your side as long as he could. Now he is free from pain and able to romp with friends at the Rainbow Bridge. You will always have his love in your heart, and his life in your memories. God Bless :pray:
