some barks, true delight

making the decision to put an animal down is one of the most selfless things that pet lovers can do. we don't want to loose the joy they bring us. they are always there to greet us, and comfort us after a hard day ,or something has upset us. they love unconditionally, even after a scolding for doing a "bad" as we say in our home. they are treasured members of the family.and rightfully so. i believe that animals go to Heaven. i take solace in knowing that they to will have their bogies restored to their former health. they will greet us like it were yesterday.
i know my sister will get another dog to love and Newman would want that. we have to never take for granted how special our pets are. i will miss Newmy,but i know he's in heaven enjoyong a prime cut of beef cooked just tro his liking. ill miss you Newmy,but i know we'll see each other again.

some barks, true delight

my sister and husband put their beloved dog to sleep last night. his name was Newman, but he also went by Scooby. my sister spent a good part of her busy day hanging with newman on the front porct of their quaint massachuset colonial. newman managed to bark at another dog or passerby. he had a really hard time due to throat issues. he also was very weak from not eating.

Newmy lived a genteel life. he had a dog specialist come to observe his behavior, stuff like eating fringe off an heirloom rug,or tearing up french doors. seems like scooby had seperation anxiety. he became part of the prozac nation. thank God. one time on a visit from n.j. i ran out. newman and i took the exact same dosage. man's best friend? my hero!
