We lost our retriever on 1-2-07. The pain is unbearable. She was put to sleep in our arms. She trusted us to the end as she always had. The dog’s devotion was incredible. She always watched out for me and had to know where I was all of the time. If there is such a thing as man and dog becoming one, this was it. We took a vacation to Florida in November and all I could think of was seeing Brandy when I got home. When I looked into her eyes, which was my favorite thing to do with her, I could see tons of love and then she would smile at me. In the end, we could have brought her home one last time, but we chose to end her suffering although she would not show it. The vet said that she had to have been in constant pain. I still can’t figure out how a creature made so perfectly has such a short life span. I will carry her collar with me always. Our family misses you, Brandy, I hope I pray I see you again someday. Damn that cancer.
Your devoted, loving, best friend.
