PSmitty Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm sorry, Ben. She was so obviously a special soul, I can see it. You will miss her forever, but I'm sending thoughts of comfort your way, and hope that each day gets a little easier. Run free, Lu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Sorry you had to lose Lu way too soon. Be comforted that she had the best life ever with you. And give an extra hug to Nick, who's there for you now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eileen Stein Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm so sorry, Ben. It's very hard to lose such a loved and loving dog. You did right by her to let her go now, hard as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertranger Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 It is the most difficult decision. There is a place for Lu in my garden to dance. To wait at the Bridge until it's time to go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm so sorry Ben. I'm sure Lu understood your great love for her and was grateful that you released her from pain. She will live on in your and Scott's memories--where she will still be happy and whole. May you meet again. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthfieldNick Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thank you, everyone. As a rule, I don't use our local vet because he's not very good, but for things like this, I call him because he makes house calls. It didn't seem right to take Lu to the mainland, especially when she so hated going to the vet. I felt terrible for our local guy, though- he had a hard time finding a vein on Lu. He's not the first vet to have that trouble, but honestly, I think Lu was so ready to go, just the sedatives he gave her first were enough. The worst part was carrying Lu out to where we buried her. She's buried out next to our old Stinky dog, who went in May. It seems really empty around here, and Nick is out of sorts. We got some good sheep work in, and I got nuzzled/chewed on/used as a climbing toy by a pile of baby goats today, an that lifted my spirits. Thanks again, everyone. It is comforting to know Lu doesn't hurt anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BustopherJones Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Visiting this section never gets any easier If it did, we would have no business owning dogs... Some background to that statement: Early in my career, I was faced with having to lay off some people due to business conditions. I was heartbroken, knowing the impact this would have on the lives of good, hardworking people who had done nothing to deserve this. I asked my boss, "Does it ever get easier, having to do this?" My boss' answer was simple: "The day it gets easier is the day you no longer have any business being a manager." (FYI, that was not the last time; and it not only hasn't gotten easier, it has in fact gotten harder each time...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
