Thread: I have a confession to make, some sad news, and some (I am praying) hopefully good

    I have a confession to make, some sad news, and some (I am praying) hopefully good

    I have neglected to post about this for several reasons. One, I was not sure I could gather up all the emotions and have the post make since, two, I was just having a very hard time trying not to focus on this, and three, I couldn't let go.....I tried believe me, but I couldn't. I have finally excepted what has happened, as hard as that was to do, and overcome the emotion enough to post. I am thankful I have a young son, and other pets to take my mind off of her.


    We lost Morgan. About a month ago. I didn't say anything because I couldn't. When I said I would post pics of her, I didn't because I couldn't take any. She passed away, peacefully in our arms at the hospital. I know I should have said something sooner, but I am one of those people who do not know how to react to death. I am unsure whether to feel sad, mad, I just feel like nothing. I can't cry no matter how hard I try or want to. I am just blank, like I have no emotion at all. I am in shock. Yesterday was the first day I actually cried over Morgan. I cried for my girl, who was only with us but a few months. She was taken away as quickly as she came.

    So I am sorry that I pretended to keep her alive all this time. I shouldn't have done that, but it was the only way I could feel connected to her. I never got to take those fantanstic pictures of her with my new camera. She would have LOVED to have her face spred all over the internet lol. That was my girl, she was always craving attention. We have found so many new trails this summer, and traveled them alone without her beside us, tail wagging and begging for a cookie. She loved to steal Dylans cookies, lol. She was obsessed with food, loved anything and everything!

    She was feeling pretty awful, and when they opened her up there was nothing they could do. We drove to the hospital while she was still under anesthesia, held her head, and kissed her goodbye. We didn't want to wake her up, and felt that the best thing would be for her to go peacefully, while already asleep, not knowing what happened. I know she heard us though, because her ears perked up. I am hoping she crossed the bridge peacefully, without pain, feeling happy.

    I just feel so bad that I didn't say anything sooner. But I just couldn't. It had beena long time since I had a dog of my own, and my heart went out to her. She was perfect in every way. Such a sweet, gentle, kind soul. She was meant for us, for our family. She came to us for a reason. Perhaps to help me along while I was here dealing with everything else in my life, Morgan took my mind off things. She got me outside, to walk and run and hike. To take Dylan to the park.

    So with this post I am now saying goodbye to my girl. May you rest in peace Morgan, silly girl. You brought such good times to me, to our family. I will never forget you, ever. You will always have a place in my heart. I miss you girl and hope you wait for me.


    Now that this is out, I also wanted to let you know about a possible new addition. I couldn't help it really. I need another pup, and this girl may just be it. I am hoping so very badly because the situation she is in is not a good one. We have new neighbors next door, they had two puppies. One a boy and one a girl, both from the same litter. I am assuming they are German Shep. mixes. They are pretty young, around a three months old?

    I will continue in another post.....

    Aw, Cass...I am sooooo sorry. She sounds like she was such a great friend to you, and certainly a sweetie. There is no reason to feel guilty or worried about not saying something sooner...death is difficult to accept, and everyone deals with it in different ways. You obviously gave her a great life, and her last moments were spent with you, in the best place possible...in the arms of someone who loves her.

    I, too, know the pain of losing such a wonderful companion. Anytime you need to talk, I'll be here. Feel free to PM whenever you want...I can't make the pain go away, but I can certainly offer a shoulder to cry on.

    Well their owners are college guys, who are very busy. We have no backyards here, so the dogs are either tied up outside on a very short leash, or kept inside all day with no supervision or attention. One day they left, and left the puppies tied out back. They were out there in 100 degree weather, and the leash was so short they couldn't reach their water bowl. I was hearing yelp after yelp after yelp when I finally couldn't take it anymore and went outside. One puppy had got loose and was wandering the driveway, which is very dangerous for such a young puppy, especially since there is a creek out front and they could have drowned or got caught in the chain thing that covers the water hole. So I scooped her up and tied them back up, this time making their lead a little longer. I scooted their water by them and filled it with ice cubes, and poured them some puppy food I sometimes use for the rats.


    There was hardly any shade. I also threw some balls and stuff out there so they could have something to do. Well the owners came home and I knocked on their door. The guys was pissed because I gave his dog water (moron) and a ball. I told him that he shouldn't have his dogs tied up to such a short leash as they could not even reach their water bowl. (am I spelling bowl right, how is it, bowel or bowl lol...)

    Well after they talked to me for a bit they calmed down and said thanks for saving the wandering puppy. I had some Frontline leftover here so I split one tube on the puppies, and gave the owners the rest. I also gave them some puppy food and some toys/biscutes. The guy said that he ties them up when he goes to school. Oh yes, and they also hit the poor dogs. He was calling the little girl (the one we might take) over, and when she didn't listen he smacked her.

    I am trying my hardest to get this guy to give her up, and I think it might be working. I now "babysit" her on the days I am home, while he goes to school. Her brother no longer lives with her, but in another apartment on the other side of our units. His owner is doing a great job with the boy, taking him for walks daily, obedience classes etc. But this guy is driving me mad. You cannot keep a puppy cooped up in a small apartment all day with no excercise. She's not even being trained.

    But I am trying my hardest to get him to give her to us, since she's here most of the time anyway. Dylan loves her, and Ewok actually tolerates her lol. The other kitties don't exactly know what to think of a small puppy, as they have only been around bigger dogs. They think she's a weird looking cat lol.

    So please pray that I can get this moron to let her go, so she can get more attention to be with a family that deserves her! One that won't abuse and hit her!

    I have several pics of her.....I will upload them now. Here is one though to tidy you guys over. Note the depressed look on her face...I can only imagine what goes on when she's not with me.

    Cass, I had no idea. I am so very, very sorry. She sounds like she was a wonderful friend. I understand why you did not post about this before and my heart is breaking for you. Hopefully Morgan will be sending you the perfect pup to take care of.

    *hugs*

    RIP sweet Morgan

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss, Cass. I know that it hurts and just reading your post made me cry. Morgan sounds like a wonderful pup and she will live on through your fond memories of her.

    Best of luck to you with the new pup. She looks adorable. Caramel dipped in chocolate on both ends (her snout and tail).

    Thanks everyone. I miss her so bad! It sucks. I even miss her burps. She always burped lol, whenever she ate, and she was LOUD. lol If I didn't adopt her I don't know if I would have ever had the company of another dog again. She changed everything!

    Here are some older pics of the puppy....sorry the house isn't clean. But the second pic shows how she spent about a month of her life, until I started watching her while her owners were gone.



    Here are the two of them, the boy and girl........she doesn't have a name yet, and I do not know if they have even named her.

    I am sorry you lost Morgan but don't feel bad that it took you so long to "confess". Everyone deals with death differently and no one can criticize how you handle things.

    Carmel (love that name) is adorable and I hope things work out that you can keep her.

    Ohhh..... im soo sorry to hear about poor lil' Morgan Cass. I understand what you mean when your not emotional or you have no emotions when it comes to thing like that.....it takes me a day or two...to really realize what really happened....n' that they are gone now.

    I hope that this "moron" does give that puppy up to you. I know you would give a great home. N' the name Carmel is cute for her..

    R.I.P sweet Morgan....

    So sorry to hear about Morgan. I understand how you feel about not being able to say anything. There's no easy way to handle it.

    The pup is absolutely adorable. I hope he will give it to you.
