Saying Goodbye
I can’t go into this right now but Duke has lung cancer. He’s stopped eating. I’m spending the weekend with him and if he’s not better, the vet will come to my house on Monday afternoon to put him to sleep. I don’t know how I’ll survive without him. I’ve been loving on him so much today. I pray he knows just how much I love him. A part of me is dying, along with him.
I’m so sorry to read this. It’s so hard to let go, but we must believe we gave Duke & Loretta the best lives we possibly could, and have no regrets. Duke will take your love with him, and he’ll be in your heart forever. Give that sweet guy a hug and kiss for me too. Maybe he and L will meet for real soon…….

PS – I got your em, thanks. I just haven’t been up to much communication this past month – Loretta’s death just made my depression problem so much worse. You will be hearing from me soon.

Oh goodness! I always check on you & Duke. I met you long ago on OD & we had horses in common. I told you about Parelli Horsemanship. I dreaded this time with Duke for you. I worried about it because of how much you love him. Another ODr (Halley) on here just lost one of her dogs. It may help you to read her OD to know that others go through the same thing. Let yourself grieve when the time comes,then MOVE FORWARD. Ceaser Millan (Dog Whisperer) was talking about that the other day. I know it will take time, but there’s another “friend” out there waiting for to rescue him/her. Live is a cycle. You & Duke will meet up again someday. IN the meantime, you have lots of love to give. This is too soon to think about that…but remember…if you never shared the dance with Duke, you’d never had the chance to share this great love/experience/friendship. I will feel the same way about my pets…now that I have a terminal cancer I especially worry about my pets outliving me! Which is worse!?? I am praying for you, Duke, and will keep following up on you here. Take care…please keep in touch….xoxoxoxo
