Miss Madison (AKA The Madderoo) - 11/5/97 - 9/1/2010

[Madderoos Mom]

Today our Madison took her last walk.  What a brave sweet soul she was all the way to the end.  The act of releasing her from her pain of body and pain of mind was surprisingly very peaceful.  When we finally left her after a tearful good bye from both of us, she lay as if she were simply taking a well deserved nap. 

Never is this step easy but for our little Roo, we'd like to think it was the release she was waiting for.  In the past months, she had so much confusion and discontent.  Her little legs barely carried her any more.  She didn't know her day from her night.  She was lost. 

Now she is gone and there is peace all around.  Gone but not forgotten.  Who could forget the little goof who squeaked for this and squeaked for that?  Who was the happiest when her tongue was in third gear licking us silly?  Miss Roo, you will be missed.  You were one of a kind and won't be forgotten. 

Good bye our sweet little Madderoo.

I will always remember our trip to Washington....you and Maddie and me and Max.  We had such a good time and they travelled so well together.  My heart is breaking for you and Mark.  I will keep you both in my prayers.  Maddie and Dolly are together again.  Maddie is probably protecting Miss Chicken Dolly again.  She was such a brave, sweet funny girl.

Sandi - my heart is breaking for you.  I didn't know that Maddie had declined that fast...... Bless you for giving her peace. 
Godspeed sweet Madison....

Fare thee well, Miss Madison.  Give Clifford a lick and make sure he is behaving himself.  Now you, Dolly, Siglen, Gretl and Clifford can have the Bow Wow you should have had at Julia's.

Our hearts are heavy with sadness and you are in our thoughts and prayers.  You made the right decision for Madderoo and she is now pain free and running freely at the Rainbow Bridge being greeted by all our furkids who have gone before her.  God-Speed, Maddie........

Sandi we are so very sorry to hear little Miss Roo has left for the Bridge.  Bless you for helping her to leave so gently. We will be thinking of you and hold you in our prayers. In time every memory of the Roo will bring a smile. Fare the well, Miss Maderoo, you are sadly missed.

I'm so sorry to hear that you had to say goodbye to your baby.  I know how hard it is to make this decision.  Know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  Remember the good times, it does help some.

So so sorry for your loss. I loved reading about the adventures of the Roo. It's never easy, but as the days go on, the memories get warmer, and someday you will smile about the antics of the Roo.
I'm sure every pupper is getting extra hugs and snuggles tonight in memory of Miss Madison. Their time with us is too short.
Take Care......Kelly and Parker

awww, how sad; I am so sorry to hear this.  I can't write anything else the others haven't already said so beautifully.  RIP, sweet, girl.
Sending you special hugs, Sandi, for being so very very brave and loving.

We are heartbroken to hear this news!!   I'm very sorry for your loss and will be thinking of you all in the next few months.   Its always hard to let them go, but you gave her a great gift by letting her go.     

[Kathleen]

I am SO sorry.  I rarely read anything other than the general writings section (just don't think about it), so I missed this until I saw the post about your name change.  I apologize for that. 

May Miss Madderoo be hopping, skipping and jumping to her heart's content at the bridge. 

[Roberta]

our thoughts are with you, its hard to say good-bye, but as you say she out of pain and more than likely skipping about rainbow bridge.
hugs and kisses to you all

I am so sorry, Sandi and Mark. I remember you had her name picked out before you even got her, Sandi. She is in good company. Godspeed, sweet girl. You will be missed.
