I’m so sorry.
(’Havoc’ is a great name for a dog :-)
She’s not in the house, but she’s still alive. Take it from someone who’s been on the other side.
Thank you. He lived up to the name in youth. Most loving , endeared by all pit bull EVER. Never ever showed signs of aggression towards people. He slept with me and a brand new baby goat for a month. He tolerated our bunny hopping around the house. Not happy (walked away) but never once harmed it. He knew the bunny was also “family”.
Very nice.
(I’m saving the name ‘Havoc’. If I’d known it some years ago, it would have been the perfect name for my current terrorist cat:-)
Lovely, thanks for posting.
My Keeshond died of old age twenty years ago, Just could not take another step.
I think of her every day and cry when I see another Kees.
This is too tough to talk about. Too many raw nerves still left exposed. Memories too vivid. Heartache. Condolences.
Fresh wounds of the heart do get better managed with tide and time but we don’t forget these critters we’ve cared for and loved.
My too cats both are gone now and one ran away never to return....I can recall seeing toys I’d find behind a desk or under a chair for about a year after always brought the memory forward again...and I miss them all. But ‘Kitty” most of all because I rescued him one dark icy snowy cold night when I found him on my deck. The most pathetic looking tabby cat shivering there - so I lifted him up and brought him inside. He would not leave my lap all night. Took to the vet the next day for his resporatory invection and it was all good to go after that.
Vet said he’d been on his own for sometime based on the pads of his feet and other indicators. He had identification but it appeared he’d been left...as the owner didn’t keep up his adress info.
So “Kitty” was mine and spoiled to the hilt from then on...and he knew it too!
