Thank you Anne. How lucky you were to share each others’ lives, and I agree, they absolutely give us joy that has no boundary. There’s a quote that says, “Dogs lives are too short. Their only fault, really.” I still miss Cain every day, and I fully agree on the afterlife.

I have had to part with two of my dogs. One suffered from uncontrollable seizures. He was brilliant, fast, and burned white hot. I grieved for years that he was gone far too young at 5 years and that I made the decision to release him from his chains on a day when he was seizure-free and happy.

The other died at 10 from an enlarged heart. He was devious and clever, empathetic and sensitive, suave and smooth. He fought so bravely for a year and his advancing disease did not prevent him from enjoy everything life had to offer. One night he looked at me and told me he was done.

Your post brought floods of emotion to me and it’s as if I were reading my own voice. Thank you for expressing so beautifully the feelings we have for our best friends. They give joy that has no boundary and we grieve with heart and soul when we part.

If I can’t see my dogs in the afterlife, I’m not going.

Thank you so much Linda. Just as I know you can relate, he was the most incredible and loving experience of my life, and I still miss him every day. Enjoy each and every moment with your sweet Mandy. They are indeed very special gifts. k

Just read Cain’s story-unbelievably heart touching and inspiring-have a soul mate myself by the name of Mandy-a feisty rat terrier who is 15 years old and still enjoying life. She also has had mast cell tumors and 2 surgeries to remove them. She is and will always be my best friend. I don’t know what to do when it is her time-your words have touched me deeply. They are very special gifts.

Thanks so much Beth…I think I speak for many people when I say they are special gifts on loan to us for far too short a time. k

Hi Kelly,
I used to work with your Dad at McDonnell Douglas and he mentioned you and this site in his trip journal, so I thought I’d venture over here & check it out. I’m very glad I did.

I am having a difficult time finding the words to adequately convey how Caine’s story touched my heart. You have written every entry so beautifully, and, I’m sure like for many others who have read this, it brought back a flood of memories for me when I lost my best friend, “Samantha” (Sammy) to cancer a few years ago. Her passing was so sudden and unexpected & I had no time to prepare for it. The void you speak of, and so much of what you have written, reflect the feelings I went through in trying to accept the fact that she was gone. You are so right about the lessons we can learn from our 4-legged friends. You are doing a beautiful thing with “wichcuit” and I wish you all the best. I just might have to get myself one of those t-shirts when you get them ready to sell!
