Doggone Part II

Just when I thought it was safe to write about Jai, our dog we recently had to have put down (Jai's last ride, East Oregonian, March 29), I got an e-mail from a reader that had a link to a poem called, "Rainbow Bridge."

You can read it by going here. But, if you've lost a pet recently you might want to have some Kleenex close by.

On a side note, a couple of days after we had Jai put down we got a sympathy card from Oregon Trail Veterinary Clinic. That initially surprised me because when we had our last German shepherd put down in 1999 we didn't get anything. We had taken him to a vet in the Tri-Cities because we couldn't get a cremation with returns in Hermiston. So, it just goes to show you, not only is doing business in Hermiston closer, it's more personable.
