We also have had a scare the last 2 weeks with our grey getting into the trash. We are still treating him for bleeding ulcers in the upper and lower GI.

Someone dropped him off at the farm nearly ten years ago. He was just a young dog but was so frightened and obviously abused. It took awhile but we earned his trust and unconditional love. Losing him was like losing a member of the family. I hope the holiday season is filled with happiness for you and I hope 2011 is a prosperous and rewarding year for you and your family.Your blog and fmq videos are wonderful.

We lost our two 14 year old rescue spaniels to illness within a month early this year, who'd blessed us with ten wonderful years: one of the best decisions of our lives was as novice dogowners saying 'yes' to the 'must be rehomed with sister' plea.franni1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11411314302703961962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-10768578455045615772010-12-04T00:03:18.527-05:002010-12-04T00:03:18.527-05:00Oh, Leah, I am so sorry!

So many others here have written such beautiful, inspirational things, that I can't add much.

We have our Belle for now and our pretty kitty Millie, but I know one day we will have to let them go. We do take them for granted, their friendship and love is unending. So we can ignore them and just pass them by, but they continue to love us anyway inspite of ourselves. Pain does get better and you do remember all the good, but it takes time. Try to get through it by embracing the good times and feelings your good dog gave you and its ok to cry and feel sad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943458458538030720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-18758481891827048292010-12-02T15:53:49.782-05:002010-12-02T15:53:49.782-05:00I'm so sorry to hear about your loss...I hope ...I'm so sorry to hear about your loss...I hope that in time these raw, sad feelings fade and that you are left with just your wonderful memories (((hug)))Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01551689919091586915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-81436016890856425362010-12-02T15:22:17.635-05:002010-12-02T15:22:17.635-05:00How sad.

Yes, we still missed him but it made it better for us and the kids.vickie in nhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234175768882980097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-41200165856129280422010-12-02T10:24:09.363-05:002010-12-02T10:24:09.363-05:00Leah, so sorry for your loss.
