finally able to run like the wind and play without fear or pain.

last Friday morning I had to take my dog on his last walk to the vet. the evening before I gave him pure beef cubes as a supper, walked him along his favorite path, played tug till he was tired. then in the morning he played with his favorite lab mix and then we walked to the vet. I truly dislike myself for having to do what I did to him. I held him in my arms as the vet gave him his medicine and the horrible sound that came from him still is etched into my head and memories and then his head dropped limb into my arms. later on that morning, i went to his favorite place at Cherry Beach and sat on a log trying to hold back the tears as the only thing I had left from my boy is a few hairs from his tail clinched into my arms. I tried hard to see him running like the wind, but that sound he made was still repeating in my mind. then a cool breeze just blew in from the lake and it was a calming serene feeling as if everything was going to be fine. i looked up and asked if I could only see him one more time and then out of what (I thought was nowhere a female rottweiler came up to me. i could almost swear she had his exact face and smile. I didn't go home for 48 hours afterwards, because i didn't want to see his pillow bed and toys littering the floor. all the ups and downs, from heartaches to bitter sweet joy. i wish to one day unite with him.
