Very sorry for your loss, Betty. Sounds like you both had quite a journey together and that he turned out to be a great dog. You were both blessed. Run free, Doc.

So sorry Betty, I'm glad you had each other - to think of what you did for him, and he for you. RIP Doc.

Oh, Betty.
Doc is at the Bridge, waiting patiently for you. He is with Faith, and Shyner, and Kingster... and all the other precious holders of our soul...
Hugs to you, Betty. You have my number - whenever you need me, I'll be there.
Rest in Peace, Handsome Doc. Your watch is done, it's time to rest now while you wait for your family.
Don't Cry For Me When I'm Gone - author unknown
So, though I gave you all my heart,
The time will come when we must part.
But all around you, you will see,
Creatures that speak to you of me;
A tired horse, a hunted thing,
A sparrow with a broken wing...
Pity - and help (I know you will)
And somehow, I will be with you still;
And I shall know, although I'm gone,
The love I gave you lingers on.

It doesn't matter how long they are with us, it is never long enough. Your write-up about Doc almost makes me feel like I know him. He sounds like a very special boy. Also, your vet is golden; definitely one to hang on to.
I'm so sorry you've lost your friend.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words. When the pain is a little less fresh I will post or link to same of my favorite pictures of Doc.
Doc was a warrior in a dogs pelt. He approached death with the same spirit he took an all challenges with the intent to win.
This was one fight he could not win.
The warrior dog with the handler that still had a lot of hippie in her soul. LOL But with a lot of false starts and a lot of mistakes we made it work.
I know one trainer looked at me once and said he's way to much dog for you, and I looked at him and said "I know, but we're stuck with each other." I might of even thrown in a "duh".
And he kind of looked dumbstruck and said, well, maybe you'll make it work then.
And we did.
Took forever.
Averted disaster more then once by the skin of our collective teeth.
The day I finally got off leash control on him in bite work no one in my training group breathed.
Doc and I owned the field. I swear he looked at me and winked, as if to say, "I just wanted you to work for it. Doesn't it feel good today?"
And it did.
When it was over I looked at everyone and said, please tell me someone got that on video.
They all said they hadn't wanted to move...LOL
He gave me kisses yesterday when I told him I would take care of this fight, that I wanted him to relax and let go. That was my Doc, worried about his people to the very last.
He was such a loving soul.
I hope that trainer got to see the finished product. Would it be appropriate for a hippie soul to say "IN YOUR FACE" 
Doc didn't make you look good Betty but he most certainly made you BE good.
I like that in a dog, it shows integrity and just a bit of a bastard. Hugs. Warm and comforting thoughts to you.

And he won that fight, after all. With a little help from his best friend, he got to ease on down the road in the best way imaginable.

I'm coming in late, but very sorry for your loss. Yup, it does hurt like hell.
My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family. |
