Doggy Heaven just got a new member..

[Running Mommy]

She is a SWEET Great Dane named Abby...
She was getting sicker and sicker, and I just couldn't let her suffer. We talked to the vet about it first, and she agreed that it was the right thing to do. Seems it was something related to her pancreas.
I'm sad, but I'm ok. I thought we were going to lose her in Janurary, so I was fortunate enough to have gotten a few extra month with her. And I made the most of it. But the last month has been hard, so I'm actually relieved.
And getting the blessing from the vet helped. I was just so afraid that I was giving up on her, but the vet assured me that I wasn't.
So anyway, it's gonna be weird not having the big grey dog around here, but that's part of life. I grew up on a ranch, so god knows I've seen the entire circle of life, and death doesn't scare me. I mourn the death and rejoice in the life all at the same time.

So anyway, I'm off to Wildflower with the family. Hopefully the woodstock of triathlon will take my mind off of things..
Ya'll have a good weekend. And hug your pets for me!
Stay safe
Denise

So sorry to hear the news. Heartbreaking to lose a devoted pet. I totally understand. *hugs*

[Blueberry]

Oh Denise - I'm SO sorry. Many hugs to you and your family.

It sounds like you did the right thing, and it's always nice when you have a vet's re-assurance. Sometimes they are better judges than we are, since they're less personally involved.

Denise, sorry to hear about the loss of Abby. I know you've struggled with this decision but know it is the right one. Hugs and prayers to the Amos family((())).

{{{{HUS}}}} Denise, I am so sorry for your loss, I wish there was something more to say then I'm sorry, and that we are thinking about you!

[F8th637]

Awwww big hugs!

May Abby roam happily on Rainbow Bridge.

I'll make sure my Aja makes a doggy prayer for your Abby.

[solobiker]

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you. I am sure you will always have many fond memories to keep the spirit alive. S

[TrekJeni]

My thoughts are with you. I had a very good friend who lost her dog also today. Why do they live so short compared to us? It's not fair.

((((Denise)))) I'm so sorry about your fur-baby.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I'm so sorry. I remember you posted a picture of her once, didn't you?

[colby]

Oh Denise, I'm so sorry. I guess you had time to prepare since the scare earlier this year, but that doesn't necessarily make the finality any easier to deal with.

Hang in there, you were an excellent mom to Abby and I'm sure she'd thank you for it if she could.

{{Denise}}, I'm sorry you lost your girl, I know you'll miss her. She's at Rainbow Bridge with all the other furkids from TE. Jenn

At least Abby will have TE fur friends to play with at the Rainbow Crossing. No more sickness, romp and play in the sun - and no one to fuss at you while galumping through things.
