I am happy about every minute, every hour, every day. I saw a dog got run over on the main street today. oh god, that was so fast, so quick..BAM! and it was dead, that little adventure who run away from somemone to have an exciting day.
life is just too short to be sad, NO we have to spend happy days together, cuase that is wath those little ones teach us again and again. they are ALWAYS happy, always cheerful, always ready to go out and have fun, to welcome you when you come home and had a hard day, they are there and make us feel HOME and LOVED.

thanks to you all, you precious animal-angels.

You are a wonderful person, reaching out to that lady in her time of need. I too, am terrified of the time my little girls will no longer be here. They are young, 2 and 6, but time goes by so fast. I fantasize about all of us going together. I've never had any interest in growing old and living a long time. My hubs thinks I'm crazy but I see a lot of sick, old people and I often wonder, what is the point? Sorry, don't mean to be so negative, I just got pensive.

That is so very sad and something that we all will likely face. I am very near that point with my 14 year old sheepdog, Tasker. I have had the "discussion" with the Vet and know his time is not too far away.

One thing I find upsetting about your story and my own discussion with my Vet is the having to go to the office and WAIT for such a terrible appointment. I asked the staff at my Vet's if he would make a housecall when the time comes and they said he didn't usually do that. Well, he is a farm vet and makes housecalls all the time.

I don't care what I have to pay but when my wonderful guy needs that service I don't want to go to a cold sterile office and most horribly have to sit in a waiting room WAITING for the end.

I think those appointments should take priority and either be made at a time when there is no waiting or be taken right in. Can you imagine the pain of sitting in a waiting room with your beloved pup sitting in your lap waiting for the end. Heartbreaking!!

Oh this subject is so close to my heart.........having lost my dear Teddy Woofems in 1994-2007(my Yorkie), Cookie 1994-2008 (my Tennessee Walking Horse) and Twinkle Little Star I (my Maltese baby) 2008-2009

I could picture that woman and you Becky being so kind to her. You were thinking of how sad she was and how sad she was going to be and you didn't even relize that when she thought back about that day that she will remember the kind young girl (you) who went out of her way to give her a hug and console her. I guess its the best gift we give to each other as human beings.....an acknowledgement of our emotions. That we are never alone. It is the best medicine for an aching heart and its so easy to give......of course not everyone realizes that its even needed ( such as the kids/husband watching TV or playing video games that we would like to shake sense into) But sometime in most lifetimes we all are on the giving and/or receiving end.

Becky, thank you for being the best you that you can be and helping this woman through a very difficult time, she will remember you forever.

I am so glad you gave that lady a hug. I am sure she really needed it.
