Cleo the poodle passes away

Cassandra sent me a video of Cleo yesterday afternoon. She looked alright, and had been given four blood transfusions.


At around 7.45pm, Jessie (Cassandra’s sister) texted me to say Cleo had passed away about an hour ago. According to Jessie, when Cassandra visited in the afternoon she had given her blessings to Cleo to let go if she is too tired of fighting on.  


Animals know when to let go.


Sometimes our animal companions are so loyal that they will fight on just to make us happy. I’ve seen that many times. We, on our part, must understand this and give them permission to let go when they know that conditions are no longer favourable and it is time to rejoin the Universal Oneness (or whatever we wish to call it).  


Cassandra did what was right and best for Cleo. She went all out to give Cleo the best possible treatment and yet, at the same time, allowed her beloved pet to let go as animals know best (definitely better than us humans).


We extend our deepest condolences to Cassandra and her family.  


May Cleo be in a better place now, free from all forms of suffering.

Life never dies, because love never dies.

    Dear Dr. Chan,

    Thank you for your support. And I am glad you put this up on your blog. Hopefully it will help others to know it's ok to let their pets go.

    When I visited her yesterday afternoon, the doctors told me again her condition didn't improve at all. She was still bleeding everywhere. Yet she stood up & stuck her head out to be patted. Dogs are so eager to please even though they are so ill & weak. I felt that she was putting up the fight because of me. As much as I wanted her here with me, I knew it was time to let go. So I whispered to her that it's alright for her to go, she has been a good friend & no matter what I will always love her. And then in the evening, I received a call from the vet & said she had breathing difficulty. Then came the 2nd call & informed me she has move on.

    I am sort of at peace because I know she is no longer suffering. She has been a good friend & I am sure we will meet again eventually.

    Thanks again for your support & do keep up the good work.
