Nell has one paw on the Bridge

Alex and I send our prayers and good thoughts. She's a lucky dog to have you and you are lucky to have her.

 

God Bless

I'm so sorry. One thing that made me feel better was to give Kirby all the junk he ever wanted. He only ate canned and dog biscuits when he asked for them his favorite table foods. His last night the kids and I took him for an off leash walk. We tried to make the best of it.

Dear Jo, We are sorry to hear about Nell. A friend lost her dog to the same thing last year, and she opted for the same treatment of prednisone. I will tell you that it gave Jadey a very decent quality of life while it worked. It should do the same for Nell. Having been a cancer patient myself, I can tell you that I would not put a dog with advanced disease through the aggressive treatment unless they could tell me that the prognosis was very good with the treatment.

I am so sorry to hear of this. She knows love and kindness now, and that's really all that matters to her.

[Laura (Cady and Koda's mom)]

So sorry to hear about Nell. Hugs to you. You've given her a great retirement, even if not long enough.

[Bo Peep]

I'm so sorry. Keep Nell happy and take her to her favorite places IF she's able. Your heart will tell you when the time is right.

So hard to read this with it being less than a week losing my heart, Flick. The realization is really really tough. Right now, I'm not emotionally in a frame of mind to say, stuff like "time heals all wounds", so I'll just I'll be thinking of you and Nell and wishing you the best, OK? Make the most of your time together now. I did with Flick and do not regret it. Don't know what else to say except that you and Nell will be on my mind.

Lots of hugs and scruffles for both you and Nell. Keeping her happy and comfortable is the greatest gift you can give her.

So hard to read this with it being less than a week losing my heart, Flick.

 

Vicki, I am so sorry to hear about Flick. May I offer the following thought as consolation?

 

I got to the gate of heaven today,

After we said good-bye.

I began to miss you terribly,

Because I heard you cry.

 

Suddenly there was an angel,

And she asked me to enter Heaven's gate.

I asked her if I could wait outside

For someone who would be late.

 

I wouldn't make much noise, you see,

I wouldn't bark or howl,

I'll only wait here patiently,

And play with my tennis ball.

 

The angel said I could stay right here

And wait for you to come,

Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven

If I went in alone.

 

So I'll wait right here, you take your time,

But keep me in your heart,

Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven

Without you to warm my heart.

Jo, I wish I could offer more comfort than merely expressing how sad I am for you and for your Nell.

 

I have a very old gal here with me right now that I just pulled from AC this morning. My greatest hope for her is that she finds a forever home with as much love and devotion as you have showered on old Nell, where she can live out her last days in comfort and in peace. My thoughts are with you.
