Re: to Mark (PETS)

[Guest guest]

Dear Mark,

Remember the night you, Kaye and I were in chat and talking about our

Siberian's, and all their similarities? You sent us a picture of yours and we

all

admired your beautiful friend.... I still miss my Siberian Peabo, who would

speak to me all the time. If I was indoors, he'd pace in front of the picture

windows on the porch, speaking the whole time, wanting to come in. We

finally had to put him down because he'd started having so many epileptic

siezures and would stand frozen, unable to move when it was at it's worst. It

got to the point where he couldn't move at all. When the time came, I couldn't

even go with Bob to the vet's, I was crying so hard. Yet the special memories

still exist.

Then when Peabo's sire, Zeke, developed pancreatic cancer, there was that

awful night this year when I found him paralized in our driveway and spent the

night with him at an emergency vet clinic. We didn't even know he had it, and

it struck that night when I was all alone. When he started seizing on the

table,

riddled with pain, with a vacant glaze in his eyes, I knew it was time to send

him to a better place. He'd been with us 13 years and had always been my

friend and constant companion. He was really my husband's dog, but he

chose to play the role of protector of me and was always by my side. It was

such a heartbreaking decision, but I felt in my heart that he was asking for us

to let him go.

I'm so sorry about your loss, Mark. You loved this dog and were loved so

devotedly in return. It is so hard to let go, yet you know the time has come.

I

understand the pain and sorrow you must be feeling. Time will heal this and

your wonderful memories will never go away.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
