Thinking about you! And attempting not to read all of these other posts since I'm at work, and sobbing in the main lobby of hartford hospital would not be ideal.

Hello Everyone! Thank you again for all your love. Ace is at peace now and passed at 5:30 last night. He laid curled up in my legs and we were with him the whole time. It started snowing just before 4pm and I called it my Snow Angels that were coming for my baby. The vet that came was incredible, loving and compassionate, we could not have asked for more. She brought all kinds of Scooby snacks for Ace and the boys got some too, he was in heaven. While it was a very difficult time we are completely at peace now and so is Ace. It was so good to see him finally relaxed. It was done in stages so we had about an half hour before the final. I hadn't seen Ace that relaxed in the last couple of years. My eyes will take a few days to recuperate, but it brought joy to my heart to see him him so relaxed and to be able to enjoy him like that. We'll have him back home this week. You all have been incredible!! I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Here's my last picture to share in this thread from Friday while we shared popcorn, his favorite treat.

Now I share with you a one of my favorite poems.

Do Dogs go to Heaven

My little bully passed away, no more breathe a sound.
I held him for the last time, then entombed him in the ground.
Day and night I wept so much, in tears I thought I’d drown.
I searched my soul for comfort, but no peace therein was found.

In great despair, I hit my knees and then began to pray.
“Father will I ever see, my dog again someday?”
I raised my eyes and saw an angel standing near a gate.
I sensed an inner peace I’d never felt before that day.

The angel smiled and said to me, “Oh man of little faith!
God sees every bird that falls; He knows your bully’s fate.
I have met your little dog, I saw him pass my way.
Your precious dog is still alive; he just walked through this gate.

Paradise is lovelier than you can comprehend.
No pain or grief, no tears or fears, and life will have no end.
God gave to man His only Son, to cover all his sins.
So why would God withhold from you your pure and loving friend?”

The angel took me by the hand and said, “Now come with me.
A glimpse of paradise I’ll give, to you so you can see.”
Through the gate and o’er the Rainbow Bridge we did proceed.
Through green valleys filled with flowers, rolling hills and trees.

“Wow, so this is paradise!” The place was filled with joy.
I saw my bully playing there, with dogs and cats and toys.
He also had some doggie treats, and food that he enjoyed.
He’d made a lot of new friends there, including girls and boys.

Then I saw a child come near, and hug my little mate.
She said to him, “I love you so,” and kissed him on the face.
The angel said, “The child just crossed the Rainbow Bridge today.
Now she needs a little friend, to love and help her play.

God’s love for her would be enough, in that make no mistake.
But in His love, He knew full well, the child would want a mate.
This is why God called your dog unto this splendid place.
God’s entrusted her with him, “till you pass through the gate.”

I pleaded, “May I hug them both?!” The angel answer, “No!
You’d violate a sacred site, and now it’s time to go.”
He led me back across the Bridge and through the gate to home.
He left me there with new-found hope and peace within my soul.

If someone ever asks what happens to a dog that dies,
Just give a gentle smile of joy and look them in the eye.
Take their hand and comfort them and tell them not to cry.
For dogs don’t die, they simply cross a bridge to paradise.
