Angus, New Friend, New Life on RB.

[Genny]

I'm sorry to you and to Angus' family. But even though it was hard you did the right thing--like someone else said he might have died alone and that would have been worse. He sure was a beautiful dog, I love shelties...

Thank you everyone for your kind words. You have no idea what those mean to me, especially now. Though it has been almost a week, I still can't help but feel I signed his death warrant for him when I called Sean's mother home from work

BUT though it does hurt, and these things DON'T pass with time, you all are right, I do have some pretty good memories of Angus, and will cherish what I have of them.

Angus is now buried in the garden amongst the blueberries he always tried to eat John engraved a marker of him into copper and now it marks the spot where he is until the blueberries grow over.

I'm thinking of doing a charcoal sketch of him for them to keep always, though my charcoal technique is in the least to say...a bit rusty at the moment...

But again, thanks everyone for your kind and awesome words.

Dionne, with major organ failure, Angus would have died whether or not you called his owners to his side. I know if I was his owner, I would be SO deeply grateful for your phone call, you did EXACTLY the right thing. His family needed to be there with him.

People often feel guilt when somone close dies..."what if?"... but none of us can add not even one moment to any life, we simply don't have the power to do so. I hope you can let go of feeling guilty.

We lost our beloved dog just 4 weeks ago, and I know being there with him was the most important thing in the world that day.

Like cyber-sibes, I think you did exactly the right thing by calling. Don't second guess yourself at all.
