Olina made it to the Bridge
 ON Saturday I had to put my Olina to rest. She was so young. My other GSD, London, was heartbroken and cried during the night while sleeping. On Sunday morning London and I took a long walk through the trails way behind my home. I said a prayer, asking God to give me a sign that Olina had made it safely to Heaven. I told him to give me an OBVIOUS sign, because I am a mere simply human that is at times clueless. London and I continued our walk and we were about 3/4 mile from our home. We were randomly walking through the fields when suddenly I came across a dog toy. This toy is a VERY special toy. A year ago we bought London this red toy along with a yellow one just like it. They are the ONLY toys he likes. Well, of course we lost the red one but still had the yellow one. My DH and I searched EVERYWHERE for that red toy. No luck in finding it whatsoever. After a few months the yellow one was looking for the worse of wear. So I went to buy some more of that particular toy. I went to every Petco, Petsmart and even ebay. That toy was discontinued!  Poor London!So when I found this red toy, almost a mile from my house, practically buried in leaves and all faded, I KNEW that was my sign from my little angel, Olina. She had made it. And what better gift to us than to give us that old red toy. Needless to say, London was SO happy. As was I. God bless you, Olina. I miss you so much. Here is an old photo of Olina:  Here is the infamous RED TOY:  And here is a photo of London with his long, lost toy:

I am so sorry that you and Olina had to go through that terrible time. I had never heard of what she had, and was watching regularly, hoping she would do better.
Now there is no more suffering for her. It is the last gift we can give our beloved friends. She was very loved, and I think you did an awesome job of trying to find something that would help her. Again, so sorry for your loss.

I'm in tears too. What a heart rending mix of emotions - so terribly sorry for the loss of such a young, beautiful life, but glad that Olina isn't suffering anymore. I'm glad that she sent you and London a little reminder to hang on to forever! What an angel

I... I can't stop crying. I'm so sorry for the loss of your girl Olina. This story just breaks my heart, but at the same time it's heartwarming.
You both loved each other so very much, she sent you a toy both as a sign and also to cheer you and her friend London up. My thoughts are with you, sending many many many hugs.
