She has returned to her resting place among the spirits. Your words of thoughtfulness and concern helped me to be strong enough to allow her to leave this world peacefully.
Thanks again for all your kind thoughts. They are much appreciated.

Hey Freddie. I'm shedding tears for this experience. I remember when my part-cocker Precious was gone from the house just overnight, and how odd that was-- how not hearing the familiar sounds of her left such a blankness in the air. She's going on 15 years now and doing well. She bosses around Henry, our 2 yr old 75# dog/horse. Keeps her young, I think. Anyway. Sending blessings for peace in the heart to you. ~Lisa

hey freddie -
i just got this email & immediately thought of you.
WHY DOGS DON'T LIVE LONGER Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year- old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefull y away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long." Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply, Speak kindly. |
