Today we said goodbye to our special boy Thabazimbi of 20 years. He was clinging steadfastly to life but not winning...slowly losing ground. He could no longer groom himself & dribbling altho all other functions were positive. I called our vet Dr Trish of Midlands Veterinary Clinic & she did a house call. She was amazing. Kind caring & open to discussion of keeping him going. We both felt it was time though....its something you just know for the animal's welfare. What struck me was her asking me if my husband who was not present had said his goodbyes before sedating him. I thought this the most kind & thoughtful question. Go well our Zimbi you have crossed the Rainbow Bridge & are with Spike now. We love you & we miss you forever. by @carolynmcdonald49

I was gifted with this & the soap OMWord the vagrancy is divine! It comes from Muizenberg Cape Town & is South African. So glad I found it...I love that the bunny(beauty without cruelty) sign is prominent of the front. That really is nice by @carolynmcdonald49
