Not today…..
I am writing this with tears rolling down my face, missing one of my best friends, my faithful companion, Logan. This morning I was woken up by my dog crying in pain. He has been battling bone cancer the past few months and it was now time. We were looking for a sign from him that he was ready to go. The last few days all he has wanted to do is run and play and he doesn’t understand why he can’t. At 5am I fed him and he was fine. At 6am he cried out and couldn’t stand up. After his pain medicine and helping him up he was ok, but we knew it was time. Finally he will be able to run again, free of pain, out in the wild grass fields……We love you Logan and you will be greatly missed. No training today for me. I feel like sleeping all day and eating tons of carbs…or maybe not eating at all. Stay true and strong. Peace. J~

Horrible news… my dogs have always been part of the family and I know how hard it is to lose them. Good for you doing the right thing though, I’m sure he is in a better place.

OMG. Juliet, Logan has the best parents he could ever get. I know how difficult this is for you. I held two of my cats as they took their last breaths of air. I had to put them to sleep also. It is gut wrenching and so emotional. After hearing what you are going through, it brought tears to my eyes remembering what it was like for me. I know your pain and I feel your grief. But like you said, It has/had to be done.
Run Logan and chase those wild butterflies through the green grass meadows of doggie heaven.

I am so sorry for you loss……I am writing this to you with a heavy heart and tears rolling down my face because I know how painful this is for you. I know how pets become part of you and your life but most importantly they are your family. I can’t tell you how sorry I am for you. Try and remember the good times and the great life he had because he had you as a parent! Take care!
