Today was Stone Sad day. We finally had to have my golden retriever put down last night. She was suffering from nasal cancer and had not been doing that well for the last couple of months. However the past week she perked up a bit. Day before yesterday she even played with her tennis ball. Night before last she started another round of seizures. This round left her unable to see or get up. Even the residents of my home decided it was time. We were fortunate to have a vet who came to the house and Penni was able to go peacefully in her own surroundings and have the people she loved her with her. We will all miss her so much. She was a beautiful, gentle loving animal, a great playmate for my granddaughters and a companion / therapy for my residents. There are thousands of dogs in shelters that need love and a home. Once things settle down I will be rescuing 2 of them as my residents need them as much as the dogs need a home but none will ever replace Penni  Spiritwoman ^i^ |

Oh Spirit, that's a big stone! Sorry for you, but it must have been hard to see Penni suffering.  Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

So sorry to read this, it is always hard to lose one of our canine buddies. At least she isn't suffering now. Alfie...

The best thing we can do to remember her is to make a home for other dogs in need. She was a rescue dog herself. Spiritwoman ^i^

I doubt that I will ever be without pets. Even while here I have my cat with me. Dogs have to live at my house in town but I visit them several times a week. Spiritwoman ^i^

I remember that. It was on a holiday on top of it as I recall. A double sadness. Spiritwoman ^i^

Thank you. Yes, we will have more dogs soon. I have always had at least 2 and up to 5. So many needy ones out there. I know what you mean about the mini pin on crack. My daughter has one - along with a very old, fat, grumpy Jack Russell. Quite a pair. Spiritwoman ^i^

It never gets easier. I am so sorry to hear of this. I know a couple of rescue dogs are going to be happy and that will transfer to you too. Are pets are so special. Spiritwoman ^i^

Dear Spirit: So sorry to hear this sad news and hope your darling Penni didn't have to suffer too much at the end. How humane for the vet to come over to Penni's home.
