We still feel his beautiful presence even though it has been three months passed. The past two years he became blind. I tried everything. Those 'get ups' that are suppose to help a dog find his/her way around without bumping into things. Maybe they are good for the big dogs but they do not stay "put" with the way a Westie Walks. Mister Beasley found his way around well and never missed his time of "potty" outdoors or on his pads indoors. He proved to me that it was not miserable for him to be blind. Only if he cannot endure it. He did well and never complained. We gave him medicine in his eyes twice a day and added lots of fish oil to his Yogart. He sure did well. I prayed everyday for him to pass in his sleep when his time came but then I just gave it up to the Lord and asked that Gus and I would be able to keep our heads about us when Mister Beasley time came. 

Naturally it was a "Sunday". I noticed Mister Beasley sitting up in his crate in such a way as though he was starring at something far off. He did this a while and it was unusual because I never saw him sit so erect before. Then when I returned home from Church, he came to the bathroom where I was and looked at me as though he could check and make sure I was here then visited Gus in the computer room. I guess he was saying " I am leaving now". Soon I heard this vibration and looked about the house to find him and he was no where to be found! Panic Stricken I searched and saw him in HIS room under a spot he has NEVER been under before! He was having a seizure. Something he never had. I called my husband and pulled Mister Beasley out and held him and said to my husband "This is it, we must make arrangements. I asked my husband to give me a piece of sliced turkey and one of Mister Beasley's tranquilizers ( I used those for his vet visits while he was blind) He was calmed down a bit as I held him but he ate it right away. I DID notice for the past three days his stools were very YELLOW like Mustard. I had a feeling he was "CLOSE". 

We could not reach our Vet since it was Sunday but we called the back up Vet he recommends a half hour away. They were just so wonderful and Mister Beasley was so totally relaxed in my arms as we drove there. Me singing songs he liked and by the way...(before I left home I ALSO took a tranquilizer) Yup, made the whole thing easier for me too. 

Sometimes I think Mister Beasley passes me by or I catch a sight of him going down the ramp in the yard. I smell his hair as I pass his old room. 

I have in my heart been changed forever. 

I know that I will probably look to make another Westie feel loved someday. I can't wait too long because as we get older it is better to give a Westie who has a few good years left who once had a mommie and daddy who could no longer care for him/her. Perhaps, I don't know but I will wait until like Mister Beasley it happens for a reason. Maybe..Thank you for reading my story. And Thank you ALL for your beautiful stories of Your Rainbow Bridge Experience too. Bless you All.
