I have a 13 year old Border Collie myself who probably doesn't have much longer -- and I had a massive scare a few months ago where I thought it was over. You do really get attached to them.

They become a part of you just as you become a part of them, and though I never knew Zane I still remember how happy you were back in 2011 when he joined your wonderful family, and I'm sure he was happy too to have found his forever home. You guys gave him a life that was filled with good memories and joy, and he must have known he was very much loved. I'm so sorry to hear about his passing, and my thoughts are with you, Sctrz. your daughters and your other dogs who must be missing their companion. Big hugs to you all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-38633737352890014462013-12-28T21:41:10.444-06:002013-12-28T21:41:10.444-06:00I know that pain.

In the end, it was incurable cancer so we still lost him. :( So, sometimes you have no choice, but it still hurts to lose them.<br /><br />I understand about the catharsis. I wrote a post on my own blog when our cat passed away: http://psychochild.org/?p=163 I thought your post was beautifully written and gave a real insight into Zane. As I said, though, just remember the good times. :)Psychochildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066038436696697892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-37705906736485758772013-12-28T20:32:01.344-06:002013-12-28T20:32:01.344-06:00Thank you, writing this post helped.

Yes, they could have tried to help, but the cost was simply more than we have, with no guarantee it would help. rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-63898418936747071592013-12-28T18:43:50.233-06:002013-12-28T18:43:50.233-06:00That is one of the hardest thing to do in the whol...That is one of the hardest thing to do in the whole world. Had to give up my sick dog logan, a couple years ago because we just didn't have the money to fix his problems and he was very very ill. You still feel like your abandoning them though and wish, for months (years) that you could have done things differently.<br />It's like losing a little part of you.<br /><br />Stay well Rowan, and hopefully you can continue to remember the good times<br /><br />DAMN IT.. now I'm cryingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-20435746325045722672013-12-28T18:22:55.470-06:002013-12-28T18:22:55.470-06:00Yes, we do.

But, you know what it's like to outsiders who wouldn't understand the emotional bond. But, remember the good things: you have him a great life for these years, and you have wonderful memories now. :) Psychochildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066038436696697892noreply@blogger.com
