What ...I am so sorry to read this news about Maisy. What a beautiful dog. The love shown to her now by Tucker and Dosie is incredible. The senses they must have that we have no idea about. And the love shown to you by the women at the store. There really are no words, except be gentle with yourself, love Maisy like you always have, and stay in your moment as much as possible, no matter where that is--crying, laughing, sobbing, laying with Maisy, eating, reading, working, ... . You and Maisy are in my thoughts. And pets on the head to her four-legged caretakers. And a big hug to YOU! (Okay, I know you are a writing wizard, so is the verb “laying” the wrong one in this case?!)Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072692058178050814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-78028099284047672662012-06-07T08:59:39.291-05:002012-06-07T08:59:39.291-05:00I am so sorry about Maisy.

She had several bad episodes where I thought she would be a goner, but the next day would rebound. I think our golden retriever may have something similar as well. I hope you can share some good days with her and find some peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-57906989122379453112012-06-06T22:20:43.217-05:002012-06-06T22:20:43.217-05:00We are so sad for you!

Maisy's been a wonderful friend to you and you to her. Now all that remains is the love and advocating for what's best for her. I hope she is able to be comfortable and peaceful surrounded by all her buddies (including you) for all the time that's left.

I know a bit of what you are feeling as several years ago I lost both my dogs within 4 months of each other. I am not sure if it hurts more while you are losing them or afterwards. Either way, it does hurt like heck. The important thing is to do what's best for her no matter how you feel. And yea, cry like crazy because if you keep that in, it will just make it worse or crazy. Stay as strong as you can and lean on friends and family when your strength wanes. I cannot help but think you are about due (actually way overdue) for some good news.Karen L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11803082902611080914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-41056413367086914872012-06-04T15:18:02.839-05:002012-06-04T15:18:02.839-05:00Sending you big hugs.

You will feel this loss acutely, I know from experience - my Lab girl Jessie was with me through a marriage and subsequent divorce and my single life, she was my one constant in what was an emotionally awful time for me. She's your girl, love her with all you've got these last days, Tucker and the other pets will understand. One of my dogs did that same thing with laying outside the day before it was over, and I found myself carting a big old Bernese Mountain Dog up steps and inside, and I just laid with him on the floor for hours clutching fistfuls of fur and sobbing. It's awful, but you will look back and have so many smiles when you think of her with that darn tennis ball, or a rock :) Hang in there, my thoughts are with you.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-3860479794719737682012-06-04T11:56:41.526-05:002012-06-04T11:56:41.526-05:00Oh, CM.
