My girl Apple passed away this last fall from HSA. Even though I knew it was coming, it still felt sudden and was heartbreaking. She lived two years beyond the initial diagnosis.
Oh Christine, I wish that there was something else you could have shared about Hugo but I understand the need to share even the sad news. I’ll be praying for Hugo and you and Steve. By the way, I am a true believer, while not overly religious, I choose to be convinced that I’ll see my pups that have gone and that they and I will share an eternity of adventures. Take good care of your boy.
Thank you Robert. I believe you will share an eternity of adventures with your pups that have gone. It's complicated to believe that for you and a way for me to face my true pain to say that what I want most is what I had. I'm not sure that it was best to post something so vulnerable, but it felt right to tell the whole story, even the sad part. Even the darkest hours. I know it's not the end. Much love to you and Ranger.
It's always a sad day Ms. Cunningham. I went through it with my old lab Molly she was 17 as well tough to make the decision but it was time. And she has left me with some of my fondest memories.
Thank you Mark. I hesitated to post knowing those of us who have been through this know what a sad time it is. I'm glad we have the good memories. Totally worth the pain.
We had to let our old boy go a few year ago. His heart was still so strong, but his brain got fuzzy, and his knees were shot, and when the big growth on his elbow turned into an open wound, it was time. No more ridge lines, alpine valleys, not even any more short walks on the back road. No more happy barks when we encountered the neighbour. All the best to you and Hugo and the rest of the pack.
Thank you. The loss can be life changing, and I know those of us who have gone through it understand the heartache. Much love to you for giving your boy a good life.
Beautifully written, Christine.

Thank you Sara.
I am sorry to hear that you went through this heartbreak with Apple. You are such a good dog mom.
