In spite of the pain of the loss, I could never be dog-less. There is a hole in my heart that can only be filled by a dog.<br /><br />It is wonderful that you have prepared yourself -- the pity is that the vet is so far away. <br /><br />hugs ...Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944601364218561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-79760517656087889372014-03-20T12:15:26.062-03:002014-03-20T12:15:26.062-03:00The timing.

It's so hard to say goodbye, but you'll hold her in your heart for ever.<br /><br />Returning home the other day, I was greeted by Flossie, and responded as usual - seconds later, I realised to my surprise that I had actually said, in tender tones, "Hello, Becky!"<br /><br />....Becky was my son's childhood companion, a big, placid, loving and much-loved labrador, very special to us both.

Shammy so nice to hear from...Thanks all of you ! <br /><br />Shammy so nice to hear from you, you're her fav crab-tolling partner in crime ;-) <br /><br />Shannon Ann & Linda thank you, it all comes down to timing - that's the hardest part. Not wanting to wait too long and at the same time wanting to keep her here every moment I can. Our vet is nearly 2 hours away and that becomes another concern. <br /><br />Doug (who used to mend sails in a past life) has sewn her a lovely harness carrying apparatus and we air lift her down the stairs several times a day. She manages to come up on her own with me hoisting her back end. I notice, especially when we're outside, she has such a far away look in her eyes - wistful, confused ... it's impossible to tell what she's thinking.<br /><br />+ this freakin' winter, everywhere is still a glare of ice, all our backyard paths and the temperatures are still so cold on those little arthritic legs.<br /><br />Oliver has been fantastic. I've always said he's a Comfort Cat that's his main job (after Creative Director) he know's just the right moment to jump up on my desk for a cuddle and he sleeps curled up "on" me (just in case) as I lay wide awake these last few nights.<br /><br />Itty Bitty sends her love Dianne & much love to you also Galestorm.<br /><br />xoxoxoxo Susan, Miss D & les GangSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-14225734590007087632014-03-18T11:22:25.071-03:002014-03-18T11:22:25.071-03:00Thinking of you and your sweet beautiful Winnie. ...Thinking of you and your sweet beautiful Winnie.

After 14 years I knew it was her time. The pain was and still is unbearable. Cherish every moment.
