I'm trying to figure out how to go into this good night responsibly.
Not ancient. Got a lot of good years left. I'm thinking more and more and this is a big deal how to take on terminally ill pets that have been abandoned and be their sanctuary till death.
I'm going the other way. Why dear heart would you abandon a calling that clearly you loved before. Oh and tell me about pain. When I lost all my catahoulas I thought I would leave all my sanity behind but you work through it.
Takes a couple of years battling it out on a good message board but you do work thru this.
I'm thinking the old. I'm thinking the now. I'm thinking a lot of bucket lists for a lot of old timers. I think I can do it and inspire others to do the same.
Makes me cry how kind of you...Bless your heart...Go for it..
Just time to put to action where the heart leads. I've read some inspiring stories where I've found out on this one website old dogs are just abandoned and the heart bleeds for how the old dogs react to being dumped. And how to take action.
So why not? What's a few old timers around this house to give them loads of love. Raven my young black and tan will keep them going and certainly my cats rule the roost.
A few years back when it was death on death on death holy toledo it seemed we were burying all our babies all the time the last thing I wanted was to take on a dying dog.
But now I realize this time is ours. What one family couldn't handle I realized we could. Make death wait and make every day of living a party for a fur buddy. This will be my spring.
And it feels good.
How can someone just dump their dog when they get old...? What kind of person does that...geezzz I had a dog in my 20's who caused me so much trouble....lol...but I committed to her when I got her as a pup.
Are you going to go to the shelter?
Will do. Really committed on this looking at each other and going "going to get better on my watch" Really blessed with good people around me. Just trying to format it.
We have land out here and believe it or not in a small town like mine I have a post mistress who is gold. She did something a few years back I'm going to nominate her for.
We'd had at the end of our road in Sundown a lady who took all the dump off cats and kittens from our area. We all helped her feed them and take care of them. This is what you do when you are country.
We all donated food and I helped with others the husband make it thru his wifes death but also thru her committment to the cats because he was losing it and we understood that. It was horrible for him and we all tried to help.
She died the same spring I lost Dusty Roads and Bad Ass and our small world sort of went a kilter .We've been talking back and forth now
Long story short we have both agreed on old timers. Trying to figure out how to do it. But trust me. It will be done.
