Sitting with my Bergie, grooming him, petting him, offering him any comfort I can in his last moments. How many, I don’t know, but I feel that it’s imminent.
I hope that I’ve done right by him. I pray his transition is peaceful. I thank Adonai for blessing our home with His creature.
I’m the type that needs ritual, needs to acknowledge my grief and the life it represents. I found some guidance and comfort here.

ETA: my sweet boy Bergie passed over the rainbow bridge about 20 mins after I posted this, about 11:45 pm.
Alaska on my mind...
