All I can say is WOW!!!. I balled my eyes out, and still am as I write this. I have three dogs now and the though of losing one of them kills me. But sadly I know the day will come when I will. They are eleven yrs old now, and the older they get the more I think about it, even though I try not to. When the time comes, I want to do it as my Mom did, She had to put her buddy down a little over a year ago. Her Vet. had a table that could be raised up so she could rest he head right in front of his and look into his eyes, and as my Mom look into Bears eyes and was petting him, she thanked him for all his love and friendship. And told Bear how much she loved him, and told him how much fun they had together, walking in the mountians, and playing with his faverit toys, or just sitting at home together. Every time she said these things to him, his tail would wag or his eyes would open wide, My Mom keeped hugging and talking to Bear until he was gone, she wanted him to feel her love as he had loved and protected her all his life. Bear felt her love till his very last moment in life!!! When my Mom told me and my girlfriend this story, we were both in tears. I hope I can be their till the end with my best buddies and friends as my Mom was.
One thing I can say is our best buddies and friends, at the first sign of trubble as humens will do, will not leave our sides but will stick with us through the best and worst of situations and no matter what the out come is, love us just the same. Weither we are homeless or broke or have a home it doesn't matter to them, they will still be their. MAN'S BEST FRIEND, A DOG.
