Froggie, I am so very sorry, dear. He's so beautiful--and looks so serene and healthy. I can tell he had a rich, happy life. Sending you love and hugs, hon.

Thank you everyone. I'm feeling a bit better today, exhausted from crying so much, but I'm getting through it. Max has been extra loveable since I got home yesterday, I think he senses that I'm upset. Btw, that pic I posted was taken this Christmas, so approx. seven months ago. It is the last pic I have of him and in a way I'm glad. He still looks like himself, fat and happy, and that is how I want to remember him. Thanks again to everyone. The support is great!

Aaahhh Froggiegirl ... I'm so sorry. I lost my first cat, KC, last month as well. He was one month from being 17 years old. I completely know how you feel. (((( Froggie ))))

Mr. Frickums
Froggie So sorry to hear of your loss. Too many of us know from too much experience just how you're feeling right now. But what a blessed lot we are to have had such special furry friends in our lives.

I just posted a note in another thread about this subject. It's very hard to lose a wonderful little friend like that. I know it's tough but it's worth it for all the love and enjoyment that you gave him and received from him during his life.

OK, this is going to be a terrible post, but I have to get it out, and I can't talk to anyone, because I can't stop crying. Please stop reading if you can't handle having to put a pet to sleep... I volunteer at our Humane Society at least 4 days a week. I get TOO attached to these "kids" so I may have to stop. Just a little back ground info. Our county doesn't give us any support, because they don't realize that we need a HS. It is just about 6 regular members that got together and save dumped dogs and cats. We survive only on donations and fund raising activites that we can afford to put on. Our shelter is 6 outside cemented fenced in pens and runs. It's about 100 yards from Jills house WAY out in the country on a dead end road. As of yesterday, we had 35 dogs and grown puppies, and 7 newborn puppies. Yesterday before I went over, Jill called me and said "something" had poisoned 2 of our 4 month old black lab puppies. She took them to the vet, and one was real bad off, and the other wasn't as bad. Tasha came home, and she put her in a separate area. Sasha had to stay and get extra care. The vet said it wasn't antifreeze, but it was some kind of poison. I went over to clean and feed in the afternoon, and one of our 6 month old beagle mix puppies leg was all mangled and bloody. I had NO idea what happened. I went and got Jill, and she tood Casey to the vet, and left her there for stitches and observation. Well, Jill called me this morning and Sasha was not any better, and the vet said that she wouldn't get any better. She was so far gone, and had to be put to sleep. I was so upset about that, but then she said she wasn't through. Casey's leg bones were crushed and the muscles and tendons we cut. It would cost too much for us to fix it, or cut it off, so she was put to sleep. THEN she told me that it was Sweet Melissa, a pit bull, that was in with Casey that did it, so she was put to sleep!! SM was a really sweet dog that we've had about a month, and for some reason didn't like Casey, but I didn't know that. Jill had observed some aggression from SM towards Casey, but didn't think it would come to this. I've never had to go through losing 3 dogs in one day, and they aren't even my own. Tom said I might have to quit the HS, because I'm too emotional. At first I didn't think so, but I've been thinking about it for a few hours, and it's a possiblity. I love these dogs like they're my own, well, not exactly, but a whole lot. I know it's a fact of life, and to be "humane", they did have to put out of their misery, but still!! OK, I'm done now. I don't feel a whole lot better, but at least I got to tell someone about it, if anyone finished reading this post. Thanks for letting me vent. Oh, and we had a huge storm today and my sat. dish went out. Tom went to get a part, and I hope it can be fixed before BB tonight. DAMN, I'm having a BAD day!!

{{{Owl}}} I hope that things look up for you. I'm sure that what ever decision you make about the HS will be the right one. I can't imagine losing 3 dogs in one day, I'm torn apart about the upcoming fate of one of my guinea pigs.. Anyhow, Owl, I hope that you start to feel better soon. Take care.

MsOwl, my heart just breaks for you. I am so sorry to hear about the babies. You have my utmost respect for what you do. I don't know how you do it. I would be like you and love them too much but just remember, their last days were spent with lots of love and care and that is so much better than being on the streets starving or wet and cold. You did all you could and that has to mean something. I'm so sorry your heart is broken. Just go give Spirit and extra hug and kiss for me.

Thank you Wargod, Froggie and Saxy. I'm just really torn up right now. I do the dogs tomorrow, so I'll see how I handle it. Even with so many dogs there, there is going to be a HUGE void where Sasha, Casey and Sweet Melissa should be. I'm really not looking forward to it. Saxy, I'm so sorry about your guinea pig. I know they are like our "kids", too. I hope it'll be OK.

Thank you GG!! I know that they had a good life with us, but I wish someone had adopted them before this all happened. Of course, I wish that for all of the "kids" though. You are so sweet, and Spirits been at my feet all day. I don't know if he knows somethings wrong, or he hate the storms. What ever it is, I'm glad he's here, and he sends a kiss kiss to you!!

Owl, I admire you sooo much. I am not sure I could do what you do. I hope you can get distracted enough with the other dogs who do need you so you do not get overwhelmed with sadness. You do a great thing for these poor dogs who have no one else.
