He was my brother and a handsome devil to the very end. I remember when my mother was bed-ridden ill, he stayed by her side day and night, refusing to eat. We spent yesterday evening by his side, singing softly to help him relax.
You gave us 12 years of wonderful companionship, I hope you felt the same and that you're at a better place now away from suffering and pain. RIP, Sky. I miss you terribly.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I went through it two years ago and it's the worst thing I ever had to do. To this day, I miss Echo terribly. I told myself I'd wait a while before getting another and managed about a month/6 weeks. I can't imagine not having a dog in my life. It's just too large of a void.
It gets easier sucka. Don't wait too long to get another.
RIP, Sky.
He cheated death once about a year ago, so we knew time was approaching, although preparing for it and being there during his last moments are very different things. I have a younger husky as well, Sesame, and she been quite depressed for the last several months, in hindsight, now we know why.
I sometimes get dreams about my first dog, where he's back and it's the best dream ever. Then I wake up and it sucks the whole day.
