The hardest decision an animal lover ever has to make is to let them go. K and I spent the weekend lounging under the pine trees near our house. I could see how tired she was, and yesterday, her eyes told me that it was time. Later, when we walked out of the vet clinic just after K's passing, a huge rainbow arced across the entire eastern sky. The tears flowed down my face.
I thank all of you for your support through this journey. This blog will continue but, depending on how I feel, it may be a little erratic in the coming days.
The photos in this post were taken during a hike last July 15th at almost exactly the time that K died yesterday. On that beautiful summer day, it never crossed my mind that my relatively young dog who I loved with all my heart would die a year later. Seize the day, my friends.
And, this amazing and soulful painting, given to us by you and painted by Kathleen Coy, will help carry us through the coming days of grief.
I am sitting here struggling with the words to tell you how I hurt for you, the Runner, and R. There are no words to comfort you all during this time but know we are here, we will be your shoulder to lean on.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you.
K's spirit will live on.
RIP dear, sweet K...I will never forget you, your strength, your zest for life, and all you have taught us about living life to the fullest.

This took my breath away, too. I am so very sorry for your loss, KB. But I can't thank you enough for sharing her and your journey with us. She was and is a remarkable spirit and we all are richer for having known her through your blog.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself in the days ahead and know that there are many people who are sending you love and strength across the miles.
Run free, K.

I have followed your blog for some time lurking and reading about your deep bond and love with K. I have been amazed at the beauty of the last few months. K was extraordinary and you captured her resilience and courage and keep joy of life so perfectly. My deepest condolences for your loss. I know words pale at times like these, but we kitties will keep you in our thoughts and purrs.
ReplyDeleteK is not truly gone, her spirit will always reside in those trails and those woods with you and will help you heal.
God bless

Even though I knew this post was coming soon, I still feel like I've lost my breath. It's hard for me to think of a world that doesn't have K in it, and I know it must be even harder for you. I'm crying as if she were my own dog, and in a way, that's the gift you gave to all of us who read your blog. You've made us all love K and R through your words and your beautiful photos. I've often said that our dogs would be perfect if they just lived as long as we do, and I feel that way every time I read about a beloved dog crossing the Bridge. I know that you and K had a special bond that not everyone is lucky enough to have and it will lead you to love again when the time is right. Don't worry about posting -- it will happen when it happens. Please know we're thinking about you and your family! I am so very sorry!
ReplyDeleteWe are without words but understand the pain and emotional roller coaster that comes with the loss of a furry friend. You and K had an incredible journey together. Thank you for sharing K with all of your readers.

How to put into words how much K meant to us - can't be done. We knew somehow yesterday that she had made her trip. She was such a joy. Just too sad for us to find the right words. Sending you our heartfelt sympathy and wishing there were more we could do or say. Run free, sweet K and have a grand time with all our friends across that Rainbow Bridge - how very appropriate that rainbow was.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kathie and the OP Pack
Even though we all knew what had to be, we were a little like you, full of wonder at K's indomitable spirit and wanting to believe it would indeed make her invincible. We are so sad that the time for goodbyes did come after all. Thank you for letting us share this journey with you, and for giving us the opportunity to know this wonderful soul, so full of courage and joy.

Words from Khalil Gibran, out of his book " The Prophet" .... Love knows not its true depth until the hour of separation.... Your love for K will always be with you, her spirit, her endurance, the bond of togetherness always there. Let Runner and R comfort you,our words help, and so many thanks for sharing all of your and K's journey,we are so much the richer.Fond and loving greetings from Jean
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this. We too thought that K was invincible after all this time. We are so glad that you were able to make her last few months so special.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find the right words, but I'm not sure they exist. My heart goes out to you. One thing is for sure, you have no regrets. You made all the right decisions through this whole gut wrenching process and let her live whole, without comprimising the quality of her life.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! Even though you knew the end was coming, it doesn't diminish the pain of K's passing or the feeling of loss. We are all thinking of you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOh KB, we offer you our sincere sympathy and love. Dear sweet K showed us how to live and enjoy each minute of every day. We can only thank you for sharing her with us. She truly was a beauty. Special hugs to you all. I'm so very sorry. Words just can't express enough today. Love Carol
ReplyDeleteOh,KB. I felt this this weekend and didn't want to check your blog. I didn't want to say goodbye to your sweet K. Feeling like this, knowing your girl only through a computer screen, makes it hard to imagine your pain right now.
ReplyDeleteKnow that we're here, sending hugs and good thoughts.
Kona and I watched our resident bobcat meander up a hill this morning during out trail time. We don't see him often, but he always makes me think of you and K, of your resilient spirits. K's spirit will carry you. The lessons you and K have taught all of us...seizing the day...will continue to carry all of us.
So, so sorry. God speed, dear K. We all hold a little tighter to our loved ones tonight...
ReplyDeleteDear KB and Family, I have not been on-line for awhile and when I checked your blog, immediately felt an immense sadness. Your K did/does have an indomitable spirit, and I believe that its essence will always live on in the hearts of those who loved her (including those of us who have come to know and care for her through your blog). Hugs to you all as you grieve.
ReplyDeleteOh KB, I am so very very sorry. We all knew this was coming but it doesn't make the reality any less painful. I have lurked around your blog nearly a year now and have been blown away by your beautiful photos, your love of life and nature and your bond with K. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your journey and I cannot begin to tell you the effect it has had on my outlook on life. There really are no words...just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, R and The Runner.
ReplyDeleteI have been holding my breath all day waiting to see this post - knowing how hard it was for you to write. It is a beautiful tribute to K's beautiful spirit.
ReplyDeleteYour Pillars of Strength are all out here in blogville - lean on us in the days to come.

I sit here with tears pouring down my face. I think everyone who follows your blog feels as though they lost of piece of themselves as well. But, it's an amazing thing that I've gained from you these past 6 months... the strength to see above it all, the strength of being positive and keeping faith and hope. You are an idol to any animal owner and I pray to have your courage when Corbin's time comes. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us. My most heartfelt thoughts and prayers and with you, Runner and R during this time. K truly was a special gift and I'm honored to have "known" her.

Sometimes the best we can do is provide a peaceful passing, and knowing when the time is right is a gift. I don't know from who...the gods?...but a precious gift it is. Although heartbreak is a jagged pain, and I empathize deeply, I am also glad for you, that the decision was a clear one, and you were able to give your dear companion a peaceful passing.
ReplyDeleteYou've knocked the wind out of me. I wasn't expecting this because she seemed to be hanging in there so well.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you. I'm so glad you got a rainbow goodbye.
The tears are slipping down my cheeks. My heart aches for you, KB.
ReplyDeleteGodspeed, K. We will never forget you.

Oh we are so sorry. We are crying too. I think the rainbow is God's and K's promoise to you. We will miss K. I know that "gasping" feeling. I guess it is just a part of greiving. We know R will help you get through this. Again, we are so sorry. We are praying for all of you.

I wish there were magic words, or some formula that would help you in your time of grief, but we all know none exist. You have my love & prayers while you make this difficult adjustment.

Wow, we haven't been here in a long time and she really did last a long time but we are so sad that she is gone. Lots of hugs coming your way. It is so so hard when they are gone. But she sure did have so much love while she was still here so she was such a lucky dog. We are so sorry.
ReplyDeleteAs tears stream down my cheeks all I can say is "I know how you feel." Sending love to you all during this most difficult time. So young; so fast...I'm so, so sorry.

I write this through tear-filled eyes...my heart aches for you. I, too, believed that K's great spirit would over come...what a beautiful soul. I am truly sorry for your loss. I am so glad you had the special close times together right up until K's last breath, and that beautiful K's passing was peaceful and surrounded by so much love. The hole in your heart is huge, I know, but one day I hope the beautiful memories you have shared with K will replace the pain. And I believe that was K sending you the rainbow as a beautiful message that she did indeed arrive at the Rainbow Bridge. I'm now sending you and R lots of love and hugs, and will give my babies even more hugs tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteLove, prayers and hugs flowing to you. We are so sorry, but thankful you had the Rainbow.

So sorry for your loss. Your K is such a beautiful soul. I'm certain that you and she had an amazing relationship. Your post made me weep. Please take care of yourself during this time.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to be reading this today. I've been trying to check on K as often as I can (since I don't have computer access right now), but it was such a shock actually reading that she has gone to the Bridge. Take comfort in knowing that you gave her that very last wonderful gift of peace even though it has torn your heart to shreds. Her memory will always be safe in your heart and in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. God Bless!
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking for you because I know how your heart is breaking. I've been in your shoes - when life knocks you to your knees and it feels as though your heart has shattered. Take one day at a time and KNOW that your darling, precious friend is now free of pain and whole once again. I'm sure you will feel her presence when you are out in the elements once again. She's there, you know, and she will watch over you always...
ReplyDeleteI know mere words are not adequate to comfort you. Just know that we are thinking of you and understand the incredible...almost suffocating pain you are going through. I am glad she ran and romped almost up to the time she left you, and I hope that brings some comfort. You could do no more than to let her go without unnecessary suffering.

Please know that although I am a fairly new reader to your blog, you have inspired me! You and your dogs seem to get more "living" out of a single day than I seem to manage in a whole week. I can only imagine how many readers have been touched by your relationship with that magnificent dog.

Tears flowing for dear K. This brings to mind a quote that has spoken to me in the past:
ReplyDelete"It occurs to me that every time I lose a dog, he takes a piece of my heart with him. Then every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of his heart. Therefore, if I should live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will then become as generous and loving as dogs are!"
Even though I only knew K through your site, I feel like she gifted me with a piece of her heart through her strength and courage.

RIP beautiful, dear K.
I am so, so sorry.
ReplyDelete...to love and be loved, is life's greatest gift... That love is what will carry you through these sad days and bring you out onto the other side, knowing you had something so special it is yours alone, to hold and treasure and remember, and K will influence your life from a different plane now, but still beside you...

Hello, Puddles from the 3 Doxies sent us over. We're sorry for your loss. It's never easy and it will never be. If it was, then your love and commitment would have been too shallow. So the degree that it hurts is indicative of your loss. We understand and we're sorry. We wish you peace.
ReplyDeleteK's journey has been an inspiration to us all. Your bond, your love has been both wonderful and heartbreaking to watch. You were K's best friend to the end and helping her to make her journey when she was too tired to go on was your final, and most difficult, act of kindness to her. She will never be forgotten.

We will light a candle tonight in honor and memory of her shinning spirit.

ReplyDeleteGod speed, dear K. You taught us so much. We will miss you and keep your memory in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteAnd God bless, dear KB. You taught us so much. We are here for you still and and we will hold you in our hearts along with memories of K as you go forward in your grief.
From the mom - this is indeed a shock as I struggle to hold the tears back - it is not easy so I know how impossible it is for you. I am so sorry for your loss of the beautiful and courageous K. I saw the notice from Ann in my inbox when I first signed on just now - it is way too soon for K to have left this earth to make her way across the Rainbow Bridge. K and you were a true inspiration to us all - you kept going, giving K the chance to live her life as she wanted. You talked about her eyes telling you it was time - I know that look, one you really don't want to see but a look that a truly loving, caring and responsible pet guardian knows of what has to follow and yes, it is the most difficult and heart-wrenching decision you can make but it is the only right decision to make.
ReplyDeletePlease take whatever time you need - many of us know firsthand what this time is like. Come back only when you are truly ready. Be there for R and he will be there for you and Runner. We hope dogs understand when their best buds leave but they still have trouble adjusting.
I pray that you all will find solace and peace in your many great memories of K.
Run free sweet K - now you can climb all those mountains and roam through the grassy fields - forever feeling good and forever in all of our hearts.
Kim
I don't know what to say to make you feel better. I wish I could take your pain away and make it hurt less somehow.
ReplyDeleteK is at peace now, still near you, but in spirit and deep in your soul. I knew the day would come when you'd post this (bravely) and I'm still not prepared to help.
I send you hugs. I hope you understand how much we are here for you.
It's raining tears, here, too. We're so sorry K is gone, but so happy for the years of love you shared.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Jed & Abby
Oh my, there are no words to convey how sorry I am and to let you know I understand where you are today...What a wonderful friend and companion you had in K and she in you. She will live forever in your pictures and the portrait. All of you have a hard time ahead of you but you have each other and you will be ok. My tears flow with yours and I hold you in my heart with thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Lucy (Troy, Ohio silent MOD)
Fly free, lovely K.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid this was coming when there was no post yesterday. I am so sorry. But remember that you and K had a rare friendship and that doesn't just end now; she will always be in your heart, and in a small way all of ours.
Many hugs to you, R, and the Runner.
When my friends hurt- I hurt.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is how I feel right now.
K touched all of us in blogville with her courage, love of life and devotion to you. You touched our life with your courage, and always looking for the bright spot in the day.
When you listen to the wind,
know that the gentle breeze
on your face
is the soft kiss from K.
Look at the sunsets and sunrises
and see the painted skys
watch the clouds and you will
see her jumping from cloud to cloud.
Look at the stars,
and I know you will see that eternal star in her eyes
looking down at you.
K spoke and you listened.... this was the biggest gift of love that you could ever do for her.
Unselfish love.
K counted on you to be there for her last needs, and you were.
The Rainbow Bridge has welcomed K
with ourstretched arms. And one day we will all see her again.
We cry with you,
love

Kisses and gentle hugs from Greyhound Gardens. I am so sorry but at the same time so thankful that you had such quality time together.
ReplyDeleteK will always be hiking by your side, no matter where you go.
So many loving wishes from so many people. Both you and K have won the hearts of so many. My heart and tears go out to you.
ReplyDeleteWe're so very sorry. You and K have been an inspiration to us as we look ahead to the journey that faces all of us someday. I hope that we'll be able to face it with as much courage and spirit as the two of you. You've been a reminder to live life to its fullest every single day! We love you, and we're sending you our thoughts of support.
ReplyDeleteI'll see you on the Rainbow Bridge someday, K!
Casey and Andrea
Sorry just doesn't seem like enough at this time. I was hoping the day would never come that I had to read this post. My heart is breaking for you, and the tears are flowing here. You were able to give K a wonderful life that many dogs could only dream of and then you were able to give her the only gift that you could give her- one last gift of peace.
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling that this had happened when I saw no post yesterday. I kept hoping that you had taken a camping trip with K and family. My heart sank when I read your post. I am so sorry and will hold you, the Runner and R in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteK's wonderful spirit will always be with you. You gave her your all and she gave it back 10 fold. What a beautiful love story that ended much too soon.
Sending gentle hugs to you all.
Run Free Special K, Run FREE!!
We are wooing sadly over K's passisng.... her Spirit will be with you Forever and Ever... (((hugs))) and God Bless,

I am so very, very sorry . . You had a most wonderful and remarkable relationship with K. We will miss her too . . .
ReplyDeletePatty (Blogless)
I'm so sorry for your loss, we are crying tears right along with you :( RIP K
ReplyDeleteI'm hurting badly for you, KB. Again, I'm so, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very, very sorry. They just don't stay with us long enough. My tears and thoughts are with you. :(
ReplyDeleteOh no....
ReplyDeleteHow terrible. I had started to believe maybe she was invincible too! I had went back recently and read some of your older posts about her (2009, etc.) and it made her seem that much more vibrant and alive and unsinkable.
She was obviously a special dog.
I'm glad she was mostly healthy and active over the last six months....so you could enjoy your time together in the mountains, rather than her wasting away indoors.
We're thinking about you all!
We knew it was coming, but it does not make it any easier. Our hearts go out to you.
ReplyDeleteRun fast and pain free to the bridge, K.
Love, Wyatt's Family
You did every thing you could for her, from her diagnosis until the end. When she wanted to play, you played, when she was tired you rested with her. The best medical care. You didn't leave her side. We didn't leave your side. But there really is no end, not a day will go by that you don't think of her, when you and R go to Hug HIll, you can talk to her, or anyplace for that matter.
ReplyDeleteWe all will miss her.
Love and hugs,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat

Oh! Such a journey with an end that we knew was coming but so sad. I'm terribly sorry about your K. What a girl. Sending all our hugs. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those silent ones in the background who checks your photos and writings daily. I was shocked to read about K's passing today. I am so, so sorry to hear she is gone. I thank you for being such a loving and wonderful partner to K throughout her much too short life, and knowing when to let her go. She gave you all the joy she had up until the very end - a testimony to true love and loyalty. My sincerest condolences. KF in pagosa springs
ReplyDeleteAnn...from..THE OUTER BANKS OF NC..said..I am so sorry...my heart aches for all of you ..K is and always will be "MY HERO".. My daughter said..."You made K's life complete and to remember her with smiles and laughter for that is how she will remember you.. she will always be with you in spirit".. and I am glad you saw the rainbow because God and K were sending you a Promise and a Blessing....where-ever a beautiful soul has been....there is a trail of beautiful memories....God bless you KB, R and The Runner as He gives you His strength and His shoulder to lean on..at a time like this...May He comfort you and assure you of the everlasting life and that precious K is still with you in spirit... Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I'm so sorry that K has passed. You gave her a life that was full of love and fun until the end. Your bond was, and is, beautiful. I think she will always be watching over and taking care of you and your family as she runs through the mountains. Sending love and peace to you, The Runner, and R.
ReplyDeleteDearest, dearest KB
ReplyDeleteWords fail me this morning as I absorb the shock of your loss and reflect back on my own.
You have been a marvel of strength throughout your this journey - putting aside your pain to attend to the needs of an incredible animal. Your love for beautiful K has prevailed throughout...right to the end.
Please accept my sincere condolences and love, sent from across the oceans to you and your family.
Rest well, my sweet friend, as K runs free with all our other heartdogs in the heavens.
'As I look to the sunrise,
I now know
that you are there
in its glorious glow...'
With all my love

If my arms could stretch across the miles I would give you the biggest hug xx
I am so deeply sorry. I have no words that can touch the pain you must be feeling. This is something only time can lessen. My heart goes out to you the runner and R.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace K, for your spirit will live on forever.
Maybe K's body was invincible but definitely not her spirit. It lives on. Again and again.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing K with us over the years. Our heart breaks for you. And we will miss K dearly.
Much love and hugs to you, R and the Runner.

ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you. I hope your pictures and memories of time well loved with K will hug you close and bring comfort. She is romping in the fields and mountains of your dreams waiting to one day be reunited.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear this sad news and know you must be feeling heart broken. Time will eventually ease your pain and the happy memories of your walks together in the mountains will be a happy memorial to her.

Hello
ReplyDeleteThrough your beautiful photographs and blog, when we think of Front Range and the Rockies, we always think of K in the landscape and as a big part of the picture. Sorry for your sad news. You have helped many of us who read your blog. Thank you K xx
There are no words other than May God Be with You. My heart breaks for you.
ReplyDeleteSo so so sorry to hear about K :(
ReplyDeleteI know how much it hurts, i only lost my first dog deefa a year ago. he should of been 8 today. It seems that the most special ones are always taken from us too soon. Take joy in the fact that you made K's life so happy and fitted in enough fun and adventures to last many life times over. You'll meet again some day and the pain wil fade over time and leave just the happy memories you made together xxx big hugs, hold on tight to R and let making him happy be the thing that keeps you going in this painful time xxx
So very sad to hear the wonderful K's time to cross the bridge had come. Such an amazing life you two shared together. You gave her so much as did she you. Though your heart is heavy from her passing, may you find comfort in the many joyous memories you have and knowing she is now running free again without pain.
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs to you,
The Roo Family
KB, my heart is with you... Tears are also flowing down thinking about you and K. She lived a truly tremendous life that not many dogs get to experience.
ReplyDeleteI know she is on the Rainbow Bridge now, truly pain free, and always watching down on you and R.
Sending you lots of hugs and prayers.
I popped over yesterday as usual full of hope. I am sorry to hear from the Woos what has happened. Our thoughts are with you and the family and R. I write this with a tear in my eye. Take care. WE will miss K.

ReplyDeleteA poem I posted for darling Wilf - reminds me so much of you...
ReplyDeleteDo not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamonds glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the first star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.
-Mary Elizabeth Frye
Everyone that has and will comment here has or will lose their fur friend so you can feel sure that we all know (or will know) your pain and feel your profound sadness. Having this year lost my best furiend - my siamese boy Lautrec - to cancer and surviving his leaving - and I do mean 'surviving' because I really wanted to die wirh him - I can relate to what you are now going through. Only you can work through that pain, but know that you can and will especially drawing strength from the knowledge that K is no longer suffering. He is now watching over you and waiting for the day when you will be together again. Hugs, Cat
ReplyDeleteWe can never be prepared for the loss of the beloved. I knew K through your blog but my heart is broken too, she will be truly missed. There are no words I can say to ease this loss, and there are no words either that can express how lucky you've been in sharing your life with our beautiful angel K. She will never be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteA big big hug...

I am so sorry to hear of K's passing. I know everything that you are going through and although Louie has filled our hearts with joy I miss Lily everyday.
ReplyDeleteRun free and fast sweet K.
It has taken me since last night to be ready to write my comment when I read the sad news I felt like my heart was going to break and I sobbed my heart out.
ReplyDeleteI cannot begin to imagine the pain you are feeling right now but you are in our thoughts and prayers.
K's indomitable spirit will live on in all of blogville's hearts for years to come, her strength and determination is a shining example to many humans dealing with illness.
I will treasure her memory .
Hike Free & Fast Sweet K, we will miss you very much.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Words just can not express how sad I am for you. I wish I could take away some of your pain. I will be praying for your healing.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. It is so painful to lose your best friend. You were both blessed to have each other in your life time. Thank you for sharing with us in your blog. You have wonderful memories and beautiful photos and I hope they will comfort you in the days ahead. Please take care of yourself in this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry. There is NEVER enough time with those we love. Please know we are thinking about you all.
ReplyDeleteI am a friend of tweedles and a new blogger. I am so very sorry to hear about K. I didn't know her but looking at the pictures I could tell she was one happy fur kid and loved her life with you. The painting of her is beautiful! My mom told me when she brought me home it was because their little minpin had went to the rainbow bridge. They felt the greatest tribute to him was to do something in his honor so they rescued me from a terrible puppy mill...now his heart goes on at our house. Sending a big hug your way! stella rose
ReplyDeleteoh i am so terrible sorry for your loss....i know how hard it is to lose a sweet pet...oddly enough, this morning i woke up thinking of my crockett whom we had to put down over a year ago due to cancer...we never forget....peace be with you during these hard days ahead....
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd cry about losing a dog I never met. There are no words but just know that there are many people grieving right along side of you and your family. You are not alone. I don't know what else to say. I am heartbroken for you and for Blogville because K was such a huge part of us.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I don't post much these days, but still follow along in lurk mode. My thoughts are with you and your family - I know what a difficult time this is for you.
The Secret
We have a secret, you and I,
That no one else shall know,
For who, but I can see you lie,
Each night, in fireglow?
And who but I can reach my hand
Before we go to bed,
And feel the living warmth of you
And touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths,
And see, ahead of me,
Your small form racing with the wind,
So young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
In every brook I pass...
And, when I call, no one but I
Can see the bending grass.
-- by Beulah Fenderson Smith

Dear KB,
ReplyDeleteWe were incredibly saddened to see the email this morning from Ann at Zoolatry sharing the news of K's passing. I don't know what more I can add to what's already been said, except that our thoughts are with you, and our hearts ache for your loss. It has been a privilege to know K through your loving words and beautiful photos, and we mourn her along with you, although not in the same way. Sending you lots of hugs.
Tears streaming down my face for your loss. I am so, so sorry. I wish there were words to comfort. I wish there were actions to heal. I hope you can find comfort in knowing beautiful K is not in pain and in a perfect place. Sending you see beautiful thoughts and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteSo Sorry to hear about the passing of K. It is every dog owners worst nightmare and I feel your pain having had to do the exact same thing.
ReplyDeleteRest assured that you did the right thing for your girl and she would love you no end for that. You didnt let her suffer and gave her all she needed.
Have fun at the bridge K.
Hugs to all the family.xx
I am so sorry for your loss. K was such a special dog, strong, resilient, and she loved you so very much. She knew you made sure that she had the best life any dog could wish for.

ReplyDeleteOur hearts are full for your enormous loss. We well understand the path, having lost our dear Spencer at age 4 to lymphoma. Somewhere in the night sky I feel his star, and think of him running free in the Big Green Field. The wonderful Patricia McConnell said, of losing her dear Luke: "It was as if someone took all the oxygen out of the air and expected me to live without it." And so it feels.
ReplyDeleteI think of you and pray for your heart to find its way to peace. ~ Jeanne, Bob & Rex
We are so so sorry ! We just don't have the words !
ReplyDeleteRun free sweet K !

I only knew K through you, and your blog and beautiful photos. Really, it's only recently that I came here and "met" you. I'll miss her, though, and I'm glad that you have R to give you comfort.
ReplyDeleteThat painting is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing K with us, and I know how you feel. July 24 will be 1 year since I've lost my Kaiser to lymphoma, like K, he died young. Chemo only gave him another 9 month. Take comfort in knowing that K is not hurting anymore, and that you've done everything you possibly can for her. She's had a great life and she's looking after you and R from up above. Rest in Paradise K.
