My Dallas is gone

Just needed to write this down. Dallas, my 8 yr old female and my very first dog went to the Bridge today at 10:10 am. She was diagnosed with bone cancer not a month ago and it spread so fast that she had little time. She couldn't get up & down the steps not only limping on the leg with the bone cancer but now was limping on a hind leg as well. It was the hardest thing ever that I had to decide. The vet said that she could put her on a morphine patch so she could have a couple more days to a week, since her leg would break at anytime. I decided against that because for me, I just didn't want to have Dallas' last days hopped up on morphine. I wanted to remember her valiant spirit.

To My Love Dallas,
Thank you, my strong girl, for giving me the precious gift of you for eight wonderful memorable years. Thank you for always protecting me, thank you for all the hearty laughs, for being so damn smart at everything we learned together and most of all for filling my heart with such love & pride. I will miss you, my precious Guardian Angel. Take care of business up there Dally, and wait for me til we see each other again.
Gratefully, and my love always, Marcia

Re: My Dallas is gone

I am so sorry for your loss. Words can't express how I am feeling now as I read this. I'm facing the same thing. Cherish those wonderful memories.


Fly on the wings of angels sweet Dallas and watch over your mommy.

So sorry for your loss. Our dogs give us soooo much....words cannot express how we feel when they have to leave us.

RIP Dallas

Re: My Dallas is gone

I am so very sorry for your loss. Remember the special moments you shared together and know that she is now watching over you. You gave her one of the greatest gifts of all, her dignity as she passed from your hands to wait for you at the bridge. I understand your pain and hope that time will help to heal your heart. Sasha will meet her and help her around...today would have been her 8th birthday. Godspeed sweet Dallas and fly on your wings of gold!

Re: My Dallas is gone

My thoughts are with you..I'm so sorry....I just lost my first rottie angel...It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do as well...The pain is almost impossible to describe..but everyone here knows what your going through..
I thank God I stumbled onto this site....just to have a place to share with people who know what your going through has meant so much to me....
Keep sharing...in some strange way it is helping close the wound...
Rest in Peace Diesel..I know your guardian angel is still watching over you...waiting patiently for the day you are together again...

Re: My Dallas is gone

Marcia,

I got your email this morning and am so sorry for your loss. You were very kind with words when I lost my Bruizer. I'm sure he was waiting for her at the Bridge!

Peace be with you!
Misty
