MerlinsMum Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Robin There are no words. There simply are no words. That is, as far as the unfairness of it all, his cancer, his life cut short, and his strong spirit, which made him resist sedation. It's just so unbelievably sad and unfair. But there is plenty to say about his year and half with you, the love you offered and received back, the beautiful, heart-breakingly beautiful things you did for him. Just like you did on his last day, which you managed to make so special for him, even though you knew how it was going to have to end. I am so happy you happened to Moxie, Robin. He may have had rough luck with his first not-forever-home, but when he finally found and made his home with you, he struck gold. Sending lots of love. :grouphug Quote Kerry with Lupin in beautiful coastal Maine.

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...

I wish it could have been easier for him. He has such a strong spirit that I feel he will be back sometime to finish his work here. Run pain free and smiling Moxie!

racindog Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 My heart is breaking for you. Moxie understands now. The bridge kids have explained it to him and he is most grateful, but not surprised, by your bravery and the tremendous love you surrounded him with. His spirit-the real Moxie-is still strong and well. How beautiful that you helped him to achieve his ultimate purpose of being a therapy dog. You may never know the good that he did. The circumstances were so special it is entirely possible-maybe even probable- that he accomplished more in his one therapy visit then others have in many many more. Something very special may well have happened that only he was uniquely positioned to be able to do and that you may be completely unaware of. There really are no coincidences. You know he will be with you always. He will always be your therapy dog too. God bless you. My deepest sympathy. You're the best Moxie!!!
