I feel...Angie, thank you so much for your kindness. I feel for you too - the loss of a dog is a big thing. Non-dog-owners don't always get that the gift of a dog's heart may often be the only experience of genuinely unconditional love that humans truly have. <br /><br />Wolfhounds and deerhounds are my favourites: our family includes Ash, a 3/4 deerhound lurcher, and an unbelievably kindhearted and gentle dog. I lost another dog two summers ago (also in July again) to an aggressive tumour. It's hard; and it's life. What a blessing to share our lives with animals, hey?rosellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971482422276765335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-47637987587925422542012-07-16T14:34:20.304+01:002012-07-16T14:34:20.304+01:00I'm so sorry for your family's loss and I ...I'm so sorry for your family's loss and I would have been in that field if it had been my beloved animal. I recently lost my elderly Irish Wolfhound. She had reached the end and both she and my husband and I knew it (very agressive cancer) so we had her suffering halted. I stayed with her right through so she could look into my eyes as she closed hers and a part of me went with her as it always does. I like to think she's running with my other four Wolfies in some animal spirit world and that maybe I'll meet them all again one day along with others to come.Angie Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119123733934337373noreply@blogger.com
