one less

We're back from Charleston with one less family member.  Our dear epileptic bitey thing Trigger Happy Jack collapsed on Friday night, and x-rays showed a hopeless mess of problems - all of which would have been fatal on their own, but which included advanced cancer that had collapsed a lung.

It's surreal - just a few days before we were running him up and down the hotel stairs to burn off energy while preparing for the likely loss of our other dog.  Meanwhile Luke seems to be once again on the mend.





I'm dazed, and more than a little lost without him.  Posting will resume soon I hope.

      He's been through so much, but losing him out of the blue like this has me reeling.

    That's rough, especially when it's unexpected. :(

      It's tough, but at least the past few months had been the best in years for him...

    That's hard to deal with I know. Just realize your dog was loved and had a great life with you even though too short. So many poor doggies and cat never experience that love. Hope you are feeling better.

      Thanks - I know others would have given up on him years ago, so I know he was meant to be with us....

    I'm so sorry about your doggie. It's so hard to lose them. We had a similar situation with my son's Doberman last fall. It's hard. Take all the time you need before you start posting again. Anyone who loves animals will surely understand.

      Just so he doesn't try to eat those who are waiting with him! He'd be the first dog forced to wait in his crate for me to get there lol....
