For those who have watched this from afar and/or have listened to me talk about Sarah doggy in emails and have been so supportive...She is going to be put down this evening here at home. I've no doubt it is the best thing for her.
I am so sorry to hear this Laurie. But I know that you would not be taking this step except that her suffering has got to the point that it's a mercy to end it for her, since nothing can be done to reverse it medically. And I'm sure she knows that whatever is done is done with love. My thoughts and prayers will be with you both this evening. --Jim
You brought Sarah all the comfort you were ever able and your being with her during her final time was everything she needed in those moments. Your love for her comes through in every word... and these are words on an impersonal chunk of technology. Sarah knew your love in all the tangible ways that matter most.
Only time and the comfort of your memories will make your loss any easier.
(It's about time I re-think this blurb)...Self-centered poetic type. When finally attending university in my 30's, I discovered poetry was pretty damned interesting. I also discovered the fascinating tale and talent of Sylvia Plath. Over a decade later her poetry and life (and Hughes') still intrigues me. (OKAY.I'll keep the above). I am a music fiend. (YES, still true) Mostly weaned on rock and classical, I discovered the beauty of opera a few years ago, starting with an obsession with Andrea Bocelli's lovely voice. So Pink Floyd to Elgar to Verdi--Leonard Cohen to Beethoven and the White Stripes--It's all good. And thank Gawd for iTunes getting rid of all those pesky cd's. Kurt Cobain was my second cousin from my Aberdeen family tree.
I try to write poetry and have had a few published. And over the years since this blog was created, my photography hobby fell into obscurity via digital cameras. I lost interest in shooting pictures from that tiny metal object with a screen.
