And even though my son's two dogs (both huskies) are living here and they have helped me with our loss, there's still a hole in my heart - and we only had Kodiak for 5 years - we had adopted him when he was 5 years old. I've lost other pets, too, in the past, and it's just a part of life, especially whenMary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077077785157768787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-88989125160710027282007-10-12T23:16:00.000-04:002007-10-12T23:16:00.000-04:00Good ol' Dakota.

You get so darned attached to them and it's really hard to make the decision to let them go, especially when there are other treatment options.

One of our three dogs is very senior and had a stroke a few months ago. He's doing well...I'd never do anything to prolong suffering in a pet either.
