Yesterday reminded me the impact that our dogs have on us. Needless to say this has been a rough year for my family and me. Yesterday my eldest sister had to put sown her dogs of of many years. Comet was her dog that help through many rough patches in her life and helped keep her centered.We will miss comit and all of little quirks. RIP Comet.
Earlier this year my youngest sister had to put one of her dogs down. It was her newest addition and a good friend to Ruby, her older dog. Toby was a vibrant and energetic dog that help balance Ruby mischiefes side.He was only with her for a few years but the impact is none the less.
We had to put all 3 of our dogs down in May within 2 weeks. First was our princess Alaska. Next was Oreo and Dutch. Being liter mates and the fact that they were both sick we felt it best to put them both down together.
All of our dogs will be sorely missed and their impact on our lives will not go unnoticed. It hard to image that one could love something so much yet never have a conversation with them. One realizes how much we talk and interact with a dog once their gone. Their non judgemental and always loyal.
Once again we will miss all of you
Dutch, Oreo, Alaska, Toby and Comet
May you all play well with each other
Thanks, Michael, that was really lovely. It is true they have all had a great impact on us. I think that is one of the great things we learned from Mom, was to love animals. Though it hurts when they are gone, the gifts they give us in their time, however limited, makes the hurt worth it.
