This will be the last entry in Sailor's diary. I am so very sad to have to share the news that we had to help Sailor to the rainbow bridge this past Thursday. He had suffered from some sort of disk problem and could not use his "back end" at all. We had to help him with a sling. We made several visits to the vet, and he initially responded to medication. However, he soon started losing ground, and was suffering.

We felt that as his guardians, we had to do the kind thing and set him free. We are devasted and miss him desperately. Knowing that he's at peace and free from pain is some comfort. Memories of the time we had with Sailor comfort us as well.

Sailor was a blessing. He was the empitome of what it is to be a newf... and was a true gentle giant. The time we had with him was a true gift....

Until we meet again Sailor-man. We love you, and will forever and ever.
