As you all know, well those that have followed my blog, I started this back in 2007 after Bracken had her accident with a car. The aim of the blog was to document her treatment for radial nerve damage. Bracken was treated for several months after the accident in an attempt to get her nerve regenerated and her leg working again. Unfortunately time ran out for us but I wanted to be sure I documented it so that anyone else that suffered a similar misfortune would find help within my blog and that I believe I achieved.
Bracken has continued as a tripod dog for 11 years following her accident. She did this with amazing courage and even managed to chase the odd rabbit or two on the way to old age.
Sadly yesterday I broke my heart and that of my wife's, Son's and daughters too when the unenviable decision had to be made to let Bracken go. I look upon this as the greatest act of kindness I have ever given, she was old, tired and beginning to fail.
Our lives and those of our closest family and friends have Bracken's paw prints on our hearts forever, she was the best K9 friend anyone could ever have asked for.
She will be deeply missed in our family, but I know shes just there, waiting, and I look forward to the day she comes running.
RIP my friend
