Lady has gone to the Bridge

[robinh]

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.

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.

LH, your initial posting is a beautiful one.

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

I just read the whole poem. Very poignant!
