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

[Logan]

Cass, I'm so sorry to hear about Morgan. She was a beautiful Golden girl. I hate that I can't remember her story......how you got her, but I do remember seeing her pictures. I'm glad that you did what you did with that beautiful puppy. Please keep us posted about what happens with her.

I'm sorry to hear what happened. Maybe I just didn't read it right, but I didn't understand what happened to her? I thought she was pretty young and in good health..... Rest in peace, Morgan.

I'm sorry about Morgan. She was a special girl. She had the same golden face that Timber has, always reminded me of her.

I hope that you can get this puppy. Maybe when they are gone you can call animal control to see their conditions? No shelter, shade and water are all signs of abuse and they'll take her and her brother right away.

I am terribly sad to hear of your loss of Morgan, everyone deals with death in a different way, and I am glad you are able to tell us now, as it will help the healing process in your grieving.

I really hope you can get that gorgeous puppy, yes puppy looks very sad, it distressed me to see that sad lil face. Good luck and take care, HUGS TO YOU.

She was very young, and not young enough to go. She had so much more life in her. She had intestinal cancer. It was pretty bad. She was fine and then all of a sudden she started vomiting a lot. She stopped eating etc. She went from happy and looking great to not doing anything. What's sad is that she used to weigh around 100 pounds, which is big. Well we put her on a diet and she dropped down to 80, but now I think it was from the cancer. I wish I would have done something sooner, but there was no way to know until it was too late. The shelter said she was 4 years old, but Dr. Barrett suspects she was a little older. Even still, too young to leave. I miss her so much, and the sad thing is that a few days ago Dylan said her name. Dylan doesn't talk much, but he said her name. It blew me away. I think he misses her and wants to know where she went. I do not know how to explain to him that she passed, and won't be comming back. He's not even 2 years yet, will be this November, but I sense he knows something is amess. It breaks my heart. She had so much more love to give. I just hope that there really is a place where our pets go, because if not, if there are no pets in heaven, then I don't want to go there.

Awww My aunt had a golden retriever who also passed from intestinal problems. Only her golden died from the bacteria that accumulated inside her. It was from the BARF diet. That's another reason I hate that diet so much, it killed Brandy.

I'm so sorry to hear that she had cancer. Leather has cancer as well.

This is all so sad My heart is breaking for you. I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Morgan, and I'm sorry you have to put up with moronic neighbors. Thank you for standing up to them and helping those pups. Caramel is gorgeous - I love those big ears I hope she can eventually stay with you full time

RIP beautiful Morgan

I remember when you got Morgan, and I thought it was good of you to take an adult dog, which so many might have neglected. AT least her last months were in a place where she was loved, fed, and just plain adored.

She'll live forever in your heart.

[shais_mom]

I was just wondering about Morgan the other day. I am glad I didn't ask you and bring up bad memories. Poor Girl..
She was a sweetheart, and will always know that she was loved in your home.
That puppy is adorable!!! I hope you can get her too!!!
RIP Morgan.

Oh Cass, I'm so very sorry to read about Morgan... My Cody got sick very suddenly also. I later realized it was best that way so he wouldn't suffer badly. Please, please don't apologize for not writing sooner. Everybody deals with sadness in their own way. There's no right or wrong to it. It's how you are. Sometimes it's so shocking, that you can't even respond to it right away-your emotions are in limbo. You needed your own time. You have my deepest sympathies. I know that Morgan is watching over all of you, esp; Dylan, his little buddy.... What an expressive face on that puppy! Those eyes! So big and sad..My jaw just dropped at those kids reaction to your kindness. These are the people the HSUS whould investigate and arrest! Maybe if you explain that Dylan already loves the dog, they'll let you rescue her...What about the male?? These are the formative months.. I hope it's not too late! Good luck, dear.

[luckies4me]

Thank you everyone. I was so afraid to come here and post this thread, knowing that all these emotions will flood me. Now I find myself just sad, wanting to cry all the time. Is that normal? I do not want Dylan to think something is wrong with mommy, but I cannot help it. First I was numb and couldn't do anything, now I can't stop! I just do not understand why things like this happen, it's just not fair this way. Look at me, I sound like a child. *sigh*


Tomorrow I would like to post pics of Morgan that I never posted before. I hope that is ok. I know she would want people to see her cute face!


As far as the puppy, the HS said that as long as they have food and water, and it isn't raining there isn't much they can do. I don't understand why they have these laws if they do not enforce them? It makes no sense to me.

We have another neighbor, in one of the houses here, who had a dog that they kept outside all the time. Well she got lose one day, (what a sweet dog, Dylan loved her) and was running everywhere. I took her back home and put her in her kennel but she got out again. I went into the neighbors backyard (you can just walk right in, not too smart if you have a dog) and there was no food, just wated, and hay on the floor. Hay is not shelter! They did nothing, even though she cried all the time. I left a nasty note on the door, as the dog was not licensed. Grr.

Well the other day I looked over the fence and I noticed that that dog was gone, and they had two new dogs, which looked like shelties. I did notice that they made the fence closed, which is good. But these dogs, like the last have no id or license. People like this just drive me insane.


The male puppy is in good hands. His owner seems very caring and compassionate. Dylan and the boy puppy had a romp in the grass the other day, which was neat. The puppy was so cute, creaping to "attack" Dylan lol. I just hope I can convince them to give her up. Hitting is going to cause problems, possibly agression and that's not good. You can tell she is a depressed little girl, poor thing. Even when she is here, she cries. I know she misses her brother as well. They hardly see eachother now. Well I rambled on for way too long. Thank you everyone for all the kinds words. I really appreciate it. It makes me feel so much better knowing there are people out there who care.

oh....I am so sorry to hear about the troubles in your life right now, I wish there was a way to just snap my fingers and make the hurt of loosing Morgan, if I knew a way, I would!

As for the little girl....I pray for her!!

[Albea]

So sorry about your news,Cass. If you can, think of Morgan running, happy and healthy, with her new friends at the Rainbow Bridge. I know how difficult it is to loose such a beloved friend.
I hope that your stupid neighbor decides to give you that lovely puppy and that the next time you post her picture she'll have a big smile in her face, instead of that sad look that breaks my heart.
Good luck and, please, let us know if you can rescue the pup.

[ramanth]

So sorry to hear about Morgan.

I do hope things work out for you with the little puppy.

[dukedogsmom]

I can only imagine the loss you are feeling. I'm sorry you didn't get any pictures. We are all sad about this. And that poor little puppy looks so sad. I hope you can get her away from that creep. People like that don't deserve the great love that animal(especially dogs) can give.
