I Miss Marley

[Lois E. Winters]

Many of you will no doubt remember my talking about my wonderful rescue Border Collie/German Shepherd dog. Well, she had cancer and over the past 10 years it grew slowly, so the vet left it alone as it was on her bladder. While I was in the hospital (one of the many times this past year), I got a phone call from a friend who was helping care for her, that the tumor had literally popped through her skin. Of course, it was one of the worst days I was having in the hospital and was surrounded by doctors and nurses during this call. I began to cry as I knew she'd have to be put down. Naturally, the medical team was upset at all this and closed my phone. The fellow who took her to go over the Rainbow Bridge stayed with her and videoed it for me. She was a champ. I miss this beloved dog terribly. It's tough during this season especially.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet friend, Lois. She looks like a beautiful dog in your avatar. We carry our beloved pets in our hearts forever.

I remember you talking about Marley, and how much you love that dog, @Lois E. Winters , and I remember you saying before that she had to be put to sleep because of the tumor . Losing these beloved pets is just like losing another human being that we love, and I think that we never stop loving or missing them.
It is the hardest thing ever to have to do, but sometimes, it is the only choice. I was heartbroken when I had to take my Chipper to the vet to be put to sleep, but he was very old, blind and deaf, and starting to hurt, and i didn’t want him to suffer.
Sending you love and Hugs as you miss Marley this Christmas season.

I made my avatar her picture. She's better looking any how. I do appreciate your understanding how I am feeling, Yvonne. The people at this facility have declined so, they do not understand anymore. Some don't even remember her, which is really sad. Oh well, I am grateful, despite all my ailments of this past year, I still have my marbles at 93. Coming up in a month.

Yes, you and I get to celebrate on the same day each year, Lois !

So sorry about your sweet Marley, Lois. It is devastating to lose our precious pets.

Lois,
Sorry about Marley's passing. A loss of a pet friend hurts, I know, I loss my Brandy 7 years ago and still get tears in my eyes when I think of her.

Lois I just saw this, I'm so sorry about your dog. I know this is really hard for you.
Hugs to you.

Lois, you do have your marbles, still have it going on.
Do you think you may want another dog anytime soon. I do know it is still early to consider; we have lost so many over the years although we always had a others and getting new ones.

I frequently think of the cats who were once part of my family and miss each of them, individually and in their own way.
