Spitfire, I am so sorry about Stonci.

I made a painting the other day of my Dad's house in heaven and there are empty chairs on his porch for all of us and a dog at the door with a ball waiting for the rest of us....

So very sorry......you used to tell some really good stories about that doggie.

Azur,
So sorry for the REALLY late reply. Thank you for your comments. Yeah, I know I haven't been around for a while. I was debating whether or not to renew this year but I went ahead and did. I've just been so busy. Great to hear from you!

Sadness will fade until the memories are happy ones, yes you will miss her but the memories live forever.

Oh, Ariala!
I'm so sorry!!! I'm sorry I didn't know that. We just moved back to Tampa and everything has been so busy and crazy. I haven't been in touch with the Blogitville Family too much lately. So sorry for your loss. I know, it sucks, doesn't it? But, keeping the memories alive helps.

I had to put my dearest cat to sleep on March 10 and it was one of
the hardest things I've gone through.  God bless you!

Temple,
I forgot about when she guarded your luggage! Thanks for the kind words and I am very glad she helped you get over your fear of big dogs. She was just a big mush. If everyone could have met her (and many others like her) maybe there wouldn't be such a prejudgice view of the beautiful Rottweiler.

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend.
You take the big old bear with you wherever you go now.  God bless.

beautiful animal.

I got your message, but I haven't been here until today.
I just cried and cried.  She was so gentle, and remember how afraid I was of big dogs?  I felt special that she slept outside my door, even after I left, and guarded my luggage.  She was a very special rottie.  I loved how she would lay on her back with all four feet in the air in odd positions, like a statue, for no particular reason.  Or how I could always hear her come in the room over the phone, like I just knew she was there.  She will still do that, you know.  This seems sudden, I mean, I knew you've been sensing something off and on for a while .. but I didn't know there was something wrong.  Do you know why?  I wish I could have kissed her smushy little head once more.  I wish I let her sleep with me, damn the consequences.  I'm so sad, too, she opened up my world to big doggies and I'm not as scared.  I can't tell you how sorry I am, H.  Lindsey must be so sad and confused, too, I just realized that.  Well, she'll be with Ma, too, and that's good.  Petie and Scrapper send their love, too.

Thanks, BC-A.
That is so sweet of you.

HolyG,
Thank you. Yeah, I do think I did the right thing. I just loved her too much to let her suffer. It still sucks big time.

TAPS,
You're right, I guess she has, hasn't she? **sigh** Thank you so much.

Thanks blackcat.
It truly is unbearable, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by with your kind words.

Lovelylady,
Oh, thank you so much for your sweet words. It really does help. We did the deed today. We had to. I couldn't let her suffer. She didn't eat but more than a few bites of her breakfast which is REALLY unusual. That made it even more of a help to our decision. It was time. She went so peacefully. Thank you againa and much love to you too.

Sir Strat,
You're right. It does totally suck. But I couldn't let her get sicker and suffer. She really started going downhill on Sunday morning, so, that is why we did this today. My heart is breaking but I know we did the right thing by her. She knew it, too. Thanks for your words, my friend.

Vogue,
Thanks. I know she'll be watching over us and possibly visiting us from time to time to "check in." Can't help but cry, though. Our eyes are swollen.

I'm SOO sorry. I nkow how much she means to you and how very hard it is. But I know you know you're doing what's best for her. All the best to you.

So sorry, Spitfire.  Your Stonci Bear has always been with you on your Blogit posts.  We will miss her also.

this makes me so so sad. I recall the day we put our Rottie down...
it was just unbearable.  Hang in there... I'm so sorry.

Oh, sweetie...

I'm so heartbroken for you.  I'm so, so sorry you have to go through this.  A year ago this past Febraury, I had to let my beautiful little boy, Meeko, go to sleep after a seven year battle with Diabetes.  I so feel for you.

It's okay to be sad...and it's okay to be happy.  I promise you, you will see each other again.  Until you do, know you're friend will watch over and protect you from Heaven.  You're doing the right thing, honey.  Animals can't speak for themselves, but just like us, they know when it's time.  I thank you and praise you for not allowing her to suffer anymore.  Some people aren't so kind.

She knows you love her.  Hold on to that when the time comes to let go and know you're not really saying goodbye...Just until I see you again.

Love to you...

Oh, no, Young Miss....I'm so sorry...
This is the most God Awful thing for us, but the best thing for them. That's what sucks.

on the other hand, the more you hurt, the more the love. And you know they'll be watching over you and waiting for you.

I am so sad for you. It is so difficult. The decision to ease her misery is so brave. The Lord bless you and keep you this time of great sacrifice and passion.  sam

She will continue to watch over you from Dog Heaven. Don't cry.
