It is the one unfortunate part of having 4 legged family members. You know that one day you will have to say goodby and let them go. I dont think anyone is ever ready to let someone or something we love so dearly go. But really it is a very strong love that drives us critter people to take on short lived animals as pets and family members. The 12 wonderful years that I had with her, more than make up for the pain and loss that I feel. And some day, I will have another pup of my own to ove on and raise. But for now. I still have my Wheazy wiener dog, and Kona Balona to love on.
Im no where near as upset today as I was the day of. But I find myself checking the floor behind me constantly, as Dusty would always be right next to me.
Im glad that my Sister talked me into taking video of Dusty "talking" to me. But it will be a long while before I can watch it. Im just happy to not have her in pain any longer. I know she is now free of all restraints and burdens, has crossed that bridge, and is truely free.
No matter how you look at it. Pets are an important part of alot of peoples lives, and we all hopefully know that their time is unfortunately short. So give them the best you possibly can, and all the love you have in your heart. Because that is exactly what those special ones do for you. Give unconditional love and loyalty.
Now I am sorry for bringing the thread down. And please dont be too sad for me, as I sincerely am ok with the tough choice that I had to make. As I know it was for the best.
Now if I could just get my house back in order. lol 2 days out of comission from emotional stress, with a 3 year old running around, sure dose turn a clean house upside down!
Thanks everyone for your empathy and kind words!
