The Deed Is Done

There's a good dog up in doggy heaven now.

It was harder than I hoped, but easier than I feared to say goodbye that last time.

The urge to scream, "NO! STOP!" before the meds were administered was almost overpowering.

But I owed my friend this release from his torment.

Honoring the contract signed when we took him into our home.

A pet is a lifetime commitment.

Sadly, their lifetime more often than not.

    Well damn. I always hope that at Fiddler's Green our departed dogs, cats, and horses will be there as well for one last hunt, scritch, or ride. Sorry buddy

    I feel a little silly. I stayed behind once Harvey and The Boy had left and I arranged his ears and set him like he would sleep. I wanted him to be comfortable.

    That was IMPORTANT.

    We're getting ashes back in about a week.

    Condolences, McThag. Words do nothing at this time, but I feel your pain. It's palpable.

    Sorry to hear it. I know how much it can hurt to lose a furry family member.
