Poor Arjun had had been in decline for so long that his quality of life was practically nil. That didn't keep us from grieving, though. We knew his departure was coming closer, but we kept hoping he'd last just a little while longer, even though we knew he was not really himself anymore.Kathryn Stripling Byerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867152753841610044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-7213983687083890452009-06-26T15:34:40.009-04:002009-06-26T15:34:40.009-04:00Thank you, Star, Auntie K, Karen B., and Victoria ...Thank you, Star, Auntie K, Karen B., and Victoria -- Your kind words and thought are much appreciated.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-41289853664686309992009-06-26T00:39:32.367-04:002009-06-26T00:39:32.367-04:00Oh Vicki, I am so very sorry to hear this.

And now sad that the little girl pup didn't make it.<br /><br />It's just like choosing to have pets -- we become involved in others' live and their joys and sorrows touch our own. And the sorrows never outweigh the overall joy.<br /><br />I'm fortunate in that I still have five dogs and two cats -- and life on a farm has made me well acquainted with the inevitability of its other side -- death.<br /><br />And it was truly a fitting way for the most Zen-like of dogs to take her leave -- I sincerely hope that my passing will be as easy.<br /><br />Many, many thanks for all the kind words.

Not a great week I don't think. I ...Hey Vicki,<br />Not a great week I don't think. I was shocked to read that beautiful Bear had passed. I did not realize she was ten--she looked much younger. Being where she loved to be, with her people nearby was a good way to die. But that doesn't make it any easier to cope with her loss and the gap that is left in the family. My thoughts are with you. I'm still seeing Ariel 'out of the corner of my eye' many times a day. Boone is deeply depressed and lonesome for his running buddy.<br />Take care,<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-79013773632311962082009-06-25T09:36:57.126-04:002009-06-25T09:36:57.126-04:00Vicki, I am sad to read this and sending you hugs,...Vicki, I am sad to read this and sending you hugs, my friend.Kaye Wilkinson Barley - Meanderings and Museshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486129009717476920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-19838629857456896912009-06-25T09:33:13.290-04:002009-06-25T09:33:13.290-04:00Oh Vicki...This breaks my heart!
