OT-Our Beloved QI

Thanks so much for all your support. What seems to make it so difficult is that it happened so quickly! Friday was normal but after dinnertime he became very ill and by late Sunday the doctors had found a very large mass in his spleen which was beginning to bleed. There would be no hope of recovery. He was the best dog I've ever known. Our thoughts are that the best way we can honor him is to love another and there are so many that need a home. It will not be long until we have another but not one who looks like him. I know it may sounds crazy, but I keep hearing a little voice say, "Don't be sad, Mama. I'm alright. I'm playing and having lots of fun." Maybe some of you know what I mean. Thanks again!!

So sorry to hear about Jack. Been there and even though we know it is the right thing, it is still hard. Hugs to you and your family... Michele in Ohio

Jill, I absolutely do know what you mean. I'm more of a cat person than dog person, but I've had a couple of great dogs. (Actually, it it were entirely up to me, I'd probably have a few dogs AND cats!) Anyway, the last dog, Corky, a lab-golden mix was hit by a car (the idiot didn't even stop and let us know). I was so upset and angry. However, like you, I had a revelation that Corky just wouldn't want me to feel that way. It helped.

And I agree, the best way you can honor him is by giving another dog a home.
