One of the blessings, to me, is that dogs appears to accept their life, however it happens to them, as how it is supposed to be; they do not seem to labor under the assumptions we humans have of what life is "supposed" to be. When we had to put down our beloved Keeshond Niky a few years ago (she had a pituitary tumor which was leading to more and more seizures, typically at 3 AM) we let her eat to her heart's content on her last day (excessive appetive being one of the symptoms of such a tumor,) played with her and praised her, and then when the vet administered the drugs to put her to sleep we realized that to Niki this was in no means inconsistent with her expectations; that was Niki's Life, anjoyed to the last second. I think that is the ultimate gift of such fine companions, their acceptance of whatever life gives them and their joy in every day of whatever they're given. It certainly does not make their passing any easier on their human friends, but to me at least gives some small comfort that they seem to delight in what life gives them, no matter how long or how short. Again, my condolences on the passing of what sounds to have been a truly outstanding canine friend.Bryan L.

I know how much she meant to you. Although I didn't meet her while out in WA, through photos and your loving stories, I came to feel as though I knew her, and in a way, I fell in love with her.<BR/><BR/>xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
