heartdogs Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) I got this sweet old lady in Abilene, Ks five years ago. She had a good racing life & tried motherhood twice so that her last son Stylin Traveler could come to TX to be with her. Ocala ruled the farms she lived on and then decided to teach me about how to age gracefully. She actually loved the snow when we got some here & would try to romp like a young dog. She had LS and did very well for a long time but the past week was too hard for her & if she had an accident in her bed or the house she was so embarrased, last night was very uncomfortable for her & she wouldn't eat any breakfast, couldn't get a drink so I said I'd help her leave as best I could. All the others here sent her off with loud crys & barks & are not happy now. I've made this triip 9 times this year & gets harder each time. This is Ocala & Traveler. Good-bye sweetheart run free & meet all your friend that have gone before. My heart is breaking here.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
