Crusher will be leaving us on Monday

[4dognight]

sometimes our last act of love is to let them go..but it is still so hard My thoughts are with you . It must be so much more painful to lose two so close.

If It Should Be

If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle cannot be won

You will be sad I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand
For this day more than all the rest
Your love for me must stand the test

We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer so
The time has come, please let me go

Take me where my needs they'll tend
And please stay with me till the end
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see

I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me
Although my tail it's last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved

Please do not grieve it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do
We've been so close, we two , these years
Don't let your heart hold back it's tears

Hugs from a Star Trek NG fan. May Troi and Crusher romp together at the bridge and find the brothers I am sure someone had, Riker and Picard, to share eternity with free from pain.

Thanks again. We were fortunate to have them for such a long time. Our At Home Vet made her passing very peaceful. I have not regretted the decision. The house feels lighter.
I am so glad that we got Havoc in January. I really questioned bringing a pup into the "geriatric/oncology ward" but he is a huge comfort and is really blossoming into a lovely boy. Felony, the pit-bull, is still thriving a year after her cancer diagnosis. Today is her 10th birthday.

Ahhhh I had my friends come and say good-bye to my Rio girl this past December before we has to put her to sleep. She was such a well loved girl.

Losing a pet is never easy and a new puppy definitely helps to heal the pain.

Best wishes to Crusher. It sounds like he had a wonderful loved filled life.

So very sorry for your loss- it's always such a horrible time. How is Havoc handling it?

Havoc seems more relaxed but he has started getting up at 4 or 5 a.m. and whining at us. He wants one of us to accompany him downstairs and then he goes to sleep in Crusher's old place at the foot of the stairs. I hope this stops soon--he seems afraid to go downstairs by himself.

At 8 and half months Havoc is free range at night. He and a neighbor boy have been playing with a homemade flirtpole in the back yard for the past hour. He's so mellow that I can trust him not to knock the child down or accidentally bite. I'm out there with them because I don't leave dogs and kids alone but I'm not needed. The neighbor boy is a sturdy 12 year old who has been Havoc's friend since we bought him home.
