Hi Gang,
Rough couple days at the farm this week, Not going into detail on this, its just to raw to me, so going to touch on it and then we are going to move on..
As you know I lost my big old ram, it was a awesome boy and it was a blow, every time I see the flock, I feel him missing..
Then came Girl, I had not planned on moving Girl out, I knew logically that it was a good move but I was not there in my heart, then Girl pushed the issue with her “I will be top cow” and so she got moved out, I remained standing and pushing though, but the cracks were showing..
But this week, was not expecting it.. I have a goodly number of hounds, and a number of them are older, as in into their teens and I baby them and we have all kinds of things in place to give them the best older years possible, but I was not expecting one of “middle” age hounds to get sick and it was found that he had cancer, and he went downhill very quickly, it was a very hard choice that needed to be made and I know it was the right one, he passed over the bridge to the other side.
But that does not change the fact that it has hit me like a brick wall, Rest in Peace my lovely boy! You will be sadly missed, you were as quick with your tail wags as you were with your tongue, you loved your head snuggles and your special run, hit the door, turn a full 360 was filled with joy.. you were always filled with life, kindness and love..
For all of you who share your world with critters, hounds and purrpots, you know just how much of a void they leave in your life when they go..
Just another Day on the Farm 
So sad to hear how this has affected you. When you’re already in a tough place a further blow is the last thing you need. I am glad that your dog was well until a short time before he had to go and that he had an owner who was sensible enough to make the hard choices and let him go. Take care x
Thanks Queen,
I don’t believe in doing a lot of surgeries or chemo, I think that is for the owner, not for the dog, we just want more time with them and sometimes the hardest thing to do is to let go before we want to.
SO sorry FG!
Many hugs to you…
Thanks Deb, hugs right back!
So sorry to hear this…it is hard to say goodbye, even when you are planning it, let alone when it sneaks up and surprises you. I lost one of my pooches to cancer this fall…it is such a terrible disease. My heart goes out to you.
Thanks jj, it really is a horrible disease..
So sorry to hear of your many losses, especially when it’s a surprise and catches unaware. Thankfully, he went without a long and painful illness.
I am sorry.
Thanks for your kind words, and congrats on winning the apron
