HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR
My best friend closed his eyes last
night, As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through
my head, As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH...his many charms.
Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!

Jim,
I will be praying for you and your wife tomorrow. My heart goes out to you. Remember Dasha loves you and she will always be Daddy's Girl.
Love,
Sissy
Dasha is losing her battle, her leg is now becoming useless. My wife will be getting a hold of the vet and we will take our last part of the journey together next week. This is just killing me, but I know we are doing the right thing.

I am so sorry to hear about Dasha (Daddy's Little Girl). My daughter is Daddy's Little Girl, even though she is almost 20. I just love that phrase. My heart goes out to you. Love her as I know you are. I can feel the bond that y'all have. I won't lie , it will be tough. It was the hardest thing that I have ever gone through. My Muffin had Mass Cell Tumor form of cancer and I lost her Dec.16. We are here for you. Give your lil girl a BIG kiss for me. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. God Bless and have a wonderful Easter.
Take Care,
Sissy
Hi Jim,
I just posted a note for you and wish to extend my heartfelt feelings for what you are facing. Our Benny lost his two year battle with cancer last Thursday and he was only 6. Like Dasha, he was my sun in darkness, the moon at night, the brightest star in the universe, my "rock", my companion, my best fur boy in the whole world and my world has been turned upside down with this dreadful roller coaster ride ending last Thursday at noon with the loss of Benny ( a big dog in a small fur suit.)My prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time. You will find great support here with all the loving members who KNOW exactly what your pain is.
God Bless you and your family and Dasha in the difficult days ahead.
