The reason I asked for it was that my dog had trust issues.... He was around 4 yrs old when got him from him shelter and had already been in and out 4 times. Not the easiest dog I ever had. You need an instruction book to handle him but they forgot to add it.....either that or it was in Chinese. When I wanted to clean the house and I got a broom he would cringed as if I wanted to hit him with it. If I raised my voice telling him ¨No¨ he got aggressive...... Not to mention he had some kind of authistic problems......if I took him for a walk.....he always wanted to walk the same route on the same path......and when one day a truck was parked on that same path and he could not pass, he refused to walk further.....waiting for that truck to move. I had to pick him up.......walk on the side of a very busy road, put him back on the path right after the truck before he would continue our walk..... It took me a year for him to become the happy, friendly ,enthusiastic little creature that he was for the rest of his life.......and I didn´t want to spoil all of that to leave him alone at the vet..... He is almost 15 now.......still not the easiest dog I ever had.......but he is so darn cute. lol
Your fur-baby is lucky to have you..I do understand what your going through with him..Before I got My Bella she was in a cage for 6 months & she was abused she was so skinny you could count all her bones..if she is sitting on the floor in front of you and your walking toward her she will scream as if you were going to kick her that's why now she is so spoiled...Dogs never forget all we can do is just keep being their hero....
Meet Bella

I NEED to talk to folks, but am not ready yet to do the big public announcement on the Roo. As you all know, I miss Geoff terribly, and got caught up in a depression before the holidays, that took me weeks to pull out and at least pretend to be "normal". Now, I found out on Christmas Eve that my daughter in law (half daughter half "best friend") has been declared terminal and given 4 months to live. To say I am devastated is an understatement! I'm going to need help from everyone to get through this...I KNOW I am not strong enough to handle it on my own, and if I don't talk about it now, I won't be able to do it later on. Thanks for listening to me.

Oh MT!! I don't know if I can find the right words, especially when life is just overwhelming sometimes and it gives us much more than we can handle. I do know that reaching out and wanting to talk about it is much better than holding it in and letting it build up. I think that when its 'our time'and we've been told when we have a certain amount of time left, we take that time left and we embrace every single day. We stay near them and let them know how much we love them, although we couldn't be with Geoff he knew how much he was loved. As hard as it is going to be on the ones left - I can't imagine how your daughter in law is feeling knowing she's so ill and how she will be leaving her loved ones.. If its possible I would be with her and just love the moments left. I'm so sorry your going through so much All my Love Manzy

Carol and Lynn...Thank you for your kind words...I know you can't change anything for me, just as I can't change anything for Jessie. But, having told you, I hope it will be easier to cry on your shoulder and ask for hugs when I need them, instead of falling down that black hole again. I LIKE to share happy thoughts and upbeat things...not misery and despair, and there is the danger for me. If I can't find good things, I shut down and retreat from others when I need people the most. (Yeah...I know...there are times when I am my own worst enemy!) Anyway, thanks again...I love you both!

We are all here for you Mary. Feel free to cry, yell, SCREAM, whatever it takes. We help each other in whatever way we can, that's why we are more than a forum (or two), we are a community.

Thank you, Phil! I try not to be a "gloomy Gus" but "strong and silent" doesn't seem to work well for me, either. If I am silent too long, I can't speak even if that is what I need the most. Hopefully I will do just fine, I think this is like hikers who let the forest rangers know where they plan to be in case they need rescuing. I will do what I have to do to get through this,but I don't want to get lost on this journey.

Her name is Jessie and she is 37 years old. She has three beautiful children and a husband who is watching a part of himself die. I can (and will) tell you all kinds of stories, but for now, I will say that if it wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't have gone to England to meet Geoff, I would not be divorced from an abusive husband, and I would have had a hard time moving into my apartment. I owe her so very, very much! Happier times

I had a feeling she's the one who helped you through all that what an amazing lady, and you are so blessed to have her in your life the thing to remember is that none of us has the promise of a tomorrow I can't help but think of that tree that fell on a woman during a wedding
we all need to make every day count and you can help her made damn sure every day she gets is as filled with life and full of memorable moments as possible not just for her, but for ya'll too and maybe if you help her get busy with living, in getting the most out of every day, you won't be so focused on the loss ... just the love
there's a quote from Ghost Whisperer that I just love, it goes something like: we're in the life business, death is just part of it
you are never alone, not even on the darkest, coldest, emptiest night and you never will be I love you and when you need a strong shoulder, I've got 2!
