    Thanks to everyone for their condolences.

    Lady had been diagnosed with bone cancer a year ago, and when they did X-rays to check her abdomen they found masses between her liver and pancreas. While it wasn't a surprise to us that it was her time to go, it was a shock that she went downhill so quickly. She started having serious issues last Friday, and by Tuesday I knew it wasn't going to be long.
    Since we've had both types of events I've found that it doesn't matter whether you know or not - you are just not prepared to lose your best friend. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

    Man,

    I gots the LES here...

    I know nothing will soothe your pain, But I am sorry for your loss. I hope the kids are doing o.k....

    ----------------

    You can never replace love or a pet.
    It seems they always show up on their own.
    Just when you aren't looking?
    They come up beside you,
    engage you
    then steal your heart.

    -------------------

    The funniest lines about love and pets?

    I'll never fall for that, again!!!

    Just when you gain your feet,
    you find yourself brushing yourself off

    "Boy, did I fall hard and fast....."

    ------------------

    Play hard Lady.....you are free now.

    When I went to work Wednesday night, knowing it was probably Lady's last day, I told one of my co-workers when they asked how I was doing, "Not bad, I just probably have to go amputate my right hand tomorrow". Not being pet people, they didn't get it, and I just couldn't explain.

    LH, your initial posting is a beautiful one.

    I am sorry to learn this news, very sorry for your loss, LH and LOH, and family. Lady has been a fixture here on PT. This is always a difficult time, whether you know or are caught unaware. Give yourselves time, time to grieve, time to remember, time to miss her.

    When we lost two pets within a three month span, several people at my work were just so confused. They are just dogs......REALLY?!? No, they were furry family members and I grieved them as such. I still miss them and it's been over 3 years ago. I agree, non-pet people don't get it at all.

    I have to give credit where credit is due, it's an exerpt from a poem by Rudyard Kipling, "The Power of The Dog".
