Haley

November 25, 2010

Yesterday I received an email that is devastating to all concerned.
Haley, a rescue rottie we fostered many years ago, has a bone tumor on her upper leg joint that’s advanced.
There is no good news.
This little girl is no ‘Just another rottie’ oh no! She changed how they dealt with any rottweiler that came into the Windsor Humane Society.
Before Haley, all rottweilers were euthanized upon entering the system there. She was their ‘test’ rottie. If she could become a loving, trustworthy pet, then they would reconsider their policy.
For the past 10 – 11 years she has done just that. Saving who knows how many rottweilers.
A brave, courageous little girl, opinionated, loving, devoted.
Her folks, Brigitte and Eelke are people that we all should strive to be. Unconditional love, understanding, patience. Thank you so much for your gift of a loved and loving life to Haley for these past years. I trust that the pills will work, giving her and you a little time.
I am so sorry for this heartbreak. It shouldn’t happen. She should be able to leave quietly, in her sleep, no pain.

I’m so very, very sorry. So very sad, so very sorry.

Haley, you’re the BEST.

I Must Look

November 18, 2010

I must look to what I have accomplished, not what I haven’t.
Be proud of the job I’ve done. Know I have done my best.
Poured my heart into it.
Now let it go and move ahead.

Sadness

November 1, 2010

Yesterday a dear friend, a certified canine therapist, met for the first time my beloved rotti. She said she felt a deep sadness with her and questioned me as of the reason. I was a lost for words.

Then this morning, I woke with a profound sadness myself. Wondering why and where it came from, I started my day. I opened my Artist Pages to write and the first thing I opened to, was a writing I did in the middle of the night, a few weeks back;

“Deep and profound sadness.
Untold depression, extreme anguish.
Why?
Unknown.
My dog whimpers in her sleep. She too remembers the past.”
