Dancer
Miss Dancer spent her morning in the sunshine out on the grass, got carried out to the barn and felt the hay breath on her face one last time. She was kissed and hugged, and told how much we loved her and would miss her until next we meet at the Bridge. Her packmates came in to her pen one by one, to...

Tranquilizers?
I have a senior dog who has had behaviour "issues" all his life and can not go to a vet. It is his time now to help him pass on. Someone from Animal Shelter is coming, and will give him a tranquilizer by needle in rump, then 20 mins later the last one in his paw. I was wanting to have him...

I lost my beloved Max
I lost Max, my German Shepherd, on Saturday. The pain inside is so bad that I feel like I'm going to fall apart. I can't do my work because I can't stop going outside to stare at his grave. The amazing thing is, my son put some flowers on his grave and even though it has been so hot here...
