Spoil her, let her keep licking you, maybe give her some extra doggy treats . . . do everything you can now so that when the time comes you won't have any doubts that you loved her as well as you could and that she had a happy life because of the bond you shared.Chad Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179848656904542902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-91929638377790475102013-05-08T03:57:27.582-05:002013-05-08T03:57:27.582-05:00Don't feel guilty over having such emotions ov...Don't feel guilty over having such emotions over a dog because they truly are our buddies and often sense our moods, very in touch with their claimed masters. This kind of love is indeed pure and that's what makes it so darn special and painful to lose! I am sorry she is nearing the end. She sure had got to live with special people in a special home!<br /><br />LanaLanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422413007128219320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-4747844080254495182013-05-06T21:33:44.259-05:002013-05-06T21:33:44.259-05:00So sorry to hear that your "pup" isn'...So sorry to hear that your "pup" isn't feeling well.

Reggie is six and such an easy going terrier. However Duffy, seven months, is quite a challenge, ran out in traffic the other day and I thought I had lost him, leash broke. All of the cars stopped on a dime and waited until I caught him! (This was a very busy street). My heart was in my mouth and now I have fears about even taking him out.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-72452603620022924962013-05-03T17:26:56.513-05:002013-05-03T17:26:56.513-05:00Oh, Karen, I'm so sorry that Pudding is not do...Oh, Karen, I'm so sorry that Pudding is not doing well. It is so sad to lose a loved one, even if that loved one is a pet. I hope that she has many more days ahead of her than you anticipate. It's good that you have a vet that you trust, and that he is doing all for Pudding that can be done. I hope the weather warms up for you so you and Pudding can take some walks together in the warm sunshine.

She was the gentlest dog I have ever had. She and our chihuahua would follow me wherever I went...sometimes running into me from the back becasue I would remember something and stop suddenly to turn around causing a pile up! I miss her terribly. Katie our chi has become lost, just as I have. She was so big it seemed she was always in the way in this small house, now this house seems so huge without her. Katie has become changed from being fearless to fearful. I guess her big sister isn't there to back her up anymore. All our pets are geriatric now and we have lost a few in just the past few years due to age. Great Danes have a short life span due to their size, but this was just so unexpected. Not like cancer as the rest to where you knew it was coming but of course never ready for the end. One minute she was fine, the next she was in distress. Each time we lose one of our babies they take a piece of my heart with them. I just hope they find each other and are getting along at the Rainbow Bridge.<br />I pray that Pudding continues to do well with her medicationa and gives you lots more days with her.<br />You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers.<br />*hugs*deb debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610337579031329980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-63603863669181932302013-05-03T12:00:00.867-05:002013-05-03T12:00:00.867-05:00I'm so happy to hear that Pudding is doing OK....I'm so happy to hear that Pudding is doing OK.

He's probably 14 or 15 getting along ok but can't see well. He thinks I hung the sun moon and stars. Strictly a mama's boy, and he doesn't care who knows it. He has loved me through death, divorce, hurricanes, moved with me 4 or 5 times. What will I do? but like you I know the time is not far off. They really steal our hearts, don't they?Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429049988208830306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-16179255809211714772013-05-03T11:53:31.901-05:002013-05-03T11:53:31.901-05:00Hi Karen, How frightening and sad.
