my sweet girl, Jessie

  wow...I have been sooo remiss on posting...and have soo much to say...but can't get into it all now. Just will say that D is clean and doing well,...yaay.  

   Meanwhile though.....we had to put down the best dog anyone would ever know, today,...our yellow lab, Jessie.  Jessie was the sweetest, most wonderful dog we've ever known....I really can't do her justice here.  This is very hard....so awful,...and I guess you won't get it unless you're a dog person. But Jessie is the dog that our kids grew up with....that we picked up at 9 weeks old and the 3 of them argued as to who would hold her in the car on the way home. Our oldest(daughter) won that one....if you knew her,...you'd know why, LOL. 

    Anyway...it's amazing how difficult and painful this is,....it was so hard to have to decide it  (she had cancer) and even worse to go through the actual experience. I really don't think I can remember seeing my husband this heartbroken.  : (        She was., as I said....such an amazing dog.  I feel her in this room with now...and can't believe that she's gone.   I will know it tomorrow morning...for she was the first thing I saw and reacted to when I awoke each day,....since she wanted her morning Milk Bone.  My heart is breaking.  

    Thanks for "listening"   I'll get back to regular posting soon...............

  2. I can feel your pain deeply. My 9 year old golden is the love of my life. I always say she is my only child that never talks back. ((hugs)) I am so so so sorry for your loss.

    Now that I'm without a blog I feel lost myself. I don't know if it would be worth it to start over with a different domain. :(

  3. I'm sitting here wiping the tears away because, truly, losing a beloved pet this way is one of the most painful things there is. A dog is part of the family. They are innocent, pure, loyal, loving, funny, comforting....they live in our hearts. I still cry at having to put my dog, Scooter, down in 1989. My heart goes out to all of you at this time. One thing I know for sure - you gave Jessie a wonderful life.

  4. I can understand where you are coming from....I have a 15 year old sweetie, and I know he is not going to be here forever, but for now he is happy, inspite of kidney disease.

  5. When I lost my favorite dog to cancer a couple of years ago it was one of the most painful times. I love all my dogs but she was really mine. Followed me all over, never left my side, just like Jessie. We still talk about her all the time. We had to make that horrible decision to put her to sleep too. I feel so bad for you it really sucks.

  6. So sorry Lori. Now that I have Jackson I can understand so much better how you must feel. The little guy is by my side while I am trying to recover from surgery.

  7. Awww..I'm a cat person, but I got a real sense of how hurtful this is to you from your post. RIP, Jesse.
