But pets are fortunate when they have kindly family members who can end their suffering when it is time, rather than being forced to drag out their days until their bodies just can't take it.

I loved that cat -- Sparky -- and so did Colin, who bonded with Sparky when Colin was a kitten.<br />Love, <br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-14941510267955271802014-04-21T21:49:44.716-04:002014-04-21T21:49:44.716-04:00I'm so very sorry.

He was the first seeing eye puppy our family raised and he was not able to become a guide dog so he became ours. Not as noble a career but one in which he's never left my side, protected me and comforted me when each of the other seeing eye pups have left for training. He's mentored in ten other pups, teaching them good manners and tolerating puppy teething stages with grace. Our 11th pup arrived last month. I'm not ready to say goodbye but he is and I find myself hanging on for me. I need to come to a place of peace for both of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-36281349830065426892014-04-21T15:05:49.203-04:002014-04-21T15:05:49.203-04:00What a beautiful dog; what a beautiful tribute. ...What a beautiful dog; what a beautiful tribute.
