The suck that sucks the suck of a thousand sucks is back, and Dr. Brandi thinks it's a matter of hours or days before it's time to help Katy on her way. It feels like yesterday that we found her standing in a snowstorm at the end of a chain, emaciated and miserable yet still willing to risk a tentative wag of her tail in hopes we had a kind word or scrap of food to spare. She was ours in an instant, destined to become a lifelong member of the family. That throwaway dog became the best of friends with the Red Dog and a permanent resident in all our hearts. Now - ten years later - we're reaching the end. Any prayers and love you can spare for her are greatly appreciated.
All my thoughts and prayers are with you all. You are some of the best people I know and I know that she couldn't have had a better life than what you and Debra provided for her. Love to all of you!

ReplyDeletePS Please tell Shiva that Katy will be helped on her journey by our Dak, Rocky, Bear and old Bucky and so many other friends who await their pals on the rainbow bridge, so the shy little girl will not be alone...again thanks to the red dog miss shiva for telling her story
ReplyDeletemuch love from our home to yours
There's no words to express the myriad of emotions that come with facing the loss of a much beloved animal companion. May you find comfort in knowing that your love and caring has given Katy the most incredibly happy life! My prayers of support are with you all.
ReplyDeleteIts not an ending but a beginning for Miss Katy - all pain and sorrow will be erased. Your grief may run deep because you will miss her sorely (I know that pain well) but you must be happy for her and know that one day you will be together again somewhere across that rainbow bridge. She knows she was loved long and well by you and that memory will pass with her and remain until you are reunited. My prayers are for a swift and easy crossing for her and peace and comfort for all of you - Red Dog included.
ReplyDeleteYou know that we are always here. Thinking of you in this time. Teetering on the decision of how much longer you should prolong the inevitable is completely exhausting. I have been there and have been the shoulder to cry on for those who have been there. I can promise that you will know when it is time. You won't have to guess or ask if you are doing the right thing because when it is her time, you will know it better than anyone. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that the two of you, Katy, and the other kids find comfort and the power of love to help you fight the pain. If you need anything, never hesitate to us know.
