I had to take her to the SPCA, and it took them about 8 months to find her a home. She spent most of her life roaming around outside, then coming in and snuggling with me. The thought of her sitting in a cage that long breaks my heart. She is with a family now, but I miss her daily.Sandie Straithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101645472499857587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970840830705547278.post-70222163818033321242012-03-02T04:03:20.706-08:002012-03-02T04:03:20.706-08:00Oh my!

Of COURSE Sam would not agree to the idea of you all being taken out at the same time with an asteroid. As much as he loves you all, he has Things To Do.<br /><br />Take care, dear friend!Coreopsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468751724163567889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970840830705547278.post-49064297943954854302012-02-19T19:09:26.692-08:002012-02-19T19:09:26.692-08:00Oh Jan, your words come together so beautifully th...Oh Jan, your words come together so beautifully that I am crying again. Crying because the experience you had with Max so nearly mirrors my own of losing my dog at Christmastime 2010. Down to the house call.<br /><br />I'm glad you had such a faithful friend, both in his life and in his death. I would have liked to have known Max!<br /><br />I have come to think that the time in which we're wracked with tears over the loss of a beloved animal is a time when a window has opened upon our very best selves. <br /><br />Hugs to you!lisaheathmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722326890172473371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970840830705547278.post-75196017763761889692012-02-12T12:24:31.525-08:002012-02-12T12:24:31.525-08:00Oh sweetheart. with love, BridgetOh sweetheart. with love, BridgetBridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274259856710507938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970840830705547278.post-89452092254566218842012-02-11T08:24:55.315-08:002012-02-11T08:24:55.315-08:00I am crying with you, Jan.

My Casey dog was my friend and support, the one who helped me raise my son, the unconditional one, the one who always understood. She was dying in my arms when I got a call from mom's caregiver telling me mom's blood pressure was 210 over 190. I said, "She'll have to wait. My dog is dying." (Mom lived another four years.)<br />I don't think it's woo-woo to think that Max took some of your cancer. I certainly hope that's the case. How about all of it. As you shed tears for him, think of each one containing the cancer, dripping out of you to be gone forever. I know, that's woo-woo, too. But why not. I don't know how any of this works, but the passing of our animal companions can rip our hearts to shreds like nothing else. Blessings and healing prayers sent your way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970840830705547278.post-65236173430237256802012-02-10T16:37:31.665-08:002012-02-10T16:37:31.665-08:00Nothing to be said but "hugs."
