Let it be

My K and I took a short wander this morning. Every minute, every instant, is becoming more precious.
It felt like we were in an enchanted forest, with a velvet-antlered trio of bucks standing to watch us. The biggest one was the last to trot away.
Butterflies fluttered everywhere. Enchanted...
Throughout the day, although K is still happy and enthusiastic about life, I shed many tears for I think that I know what is happening, and I think that K knows too. I still hold out hope that we're both wrong.

A verse of a Beatles song kept floating through my mind and heart. I think that there's a message in it for me.

Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

  4. I'm at a loss for words after reading over your last few posts. Try to be strong and enjoy your beautiful girl as much as possible. Don't let her feel your negativity - this will distress your faithful companion more than what's going on with her disease.

    My heart aches for you ♥

  6. Did you read the Canidae blog about Pet Bonding today?
    http://canidaepetfood.blogspot.com/2012/07/importance-of-pets-bond.html?

    The part that interested me most is that through bonding our pups become totally intuitive to us. They know what we are thinking about. I do believe this. Stella seems to know what I am going to do before I do it. K, too? I suspect so. The snoozing picture of her is just wonderful.

    Prayers and hugs,

    Jo and Stella

  13. My MOM heard that song yesterday and while she was thinking it had important meaning in her life right now she also thought of you and K. As we read your words tonight it sent chills down her spine and brought tears to our eyes.
    Blessings to both of your.

  14. Wow, perfect song "Let it Be" for describing what you are going through. What we all go through with our loved ones human and furry when their time draws near. So hard, so sad, and at times makes one mad, I mean really...can't we just hold this moment forever!?. Well we know that won't happen so we draw upon our inner strength and do what we have to do. I so admire what you are doing with K and know that you both are good. Thoughts and prayers flow your way from me everyday, stay strong.
    Take care,

  17. You choose the right song lines , really. Great picture of the deer.
    Thanks for answering. We have collars on mainly the wolves we gott in Sweden. They have a large study how they live. We maybe have about 400. Half Sweden wants them and the oter not. They cause a lot of problems , taking sheeps, dogs walking in the villages, gardens there kids are playing. Not always good.
    Our government have big discussions how this will be in the future.
    Glad that you came out with K today.
    Hugs from us!!

  28. Dear KB, I know you want to share the joy of each minute with K, with us but girl you got to know that our hearts are breaking with you. WE've come to love you, and your special K. We are all holding out hope that she will beat this thing but I wait on baited breath for your posts-just to make sure everything is status-quo. If we could give you a miracle we would but for now, Days of Grace(as my Reggie and Maxdog had)are what we want for you. Sending love today.

  30. Dear KB,
    I have come to love you and K. My heart is breaking but you give me the strength to keep on going. May God hold you both in the palm of his hand...
    ...and give you peace.

    Last night, on Facebook, someone posted a video to "Let it Be" with a picture of Lennox ~ an innocent dog, that was put to death because he resembled a pit bull. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have fought, begged, pleaded, cajoled,and even threatened those who had the power to spare him. Millions of prayers have been said for two years. And still they killed him. It reminds me of your/our clinging to K. We are so helpless. All we can do is LOVE them while they are with us and never forget.

  35. I'm listening to a studio mix of Let It Be right now, and there's another lyric that's perfect for you right now:

    There will be no sorrow,
    Let it be....

    Don't let your fear of what is yet to come interfere with your love and joy in what is right now!
