My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

GoldensRbest- Welcome. Good to meet a fellow believer. Post more often. Love the pic. I am a pet person, just more of a cat person. Actually never had a dog, always cats in our family.

Keep posting.

I never thought I'd be scheduling an appointment to end my dogs life. Welcome to the thread Goldens. It's always so nice to know there are people out there that read our little living room tales. I also agree the group here is amazing. Truly a place where we care. And just dont say it. I made masks and I shared them with those sisters that needed them. I wanted to make sure they are taken care of in my smallest way I could. This is my second home and the support is unmatched. Because we all understand so much. The same Your dogs are gorgeous!!!

Candy~ you sweet dear. I was crying also. I agree with wanting to be in a place where there is no cancer or pain anymore. Problem is We face pain and cancer to get to that place should there be one. I struggle with my faith as I've said before. thank you for caring.

Thank you alll for caring about my Tag. Of course today he's doing a little better. Makes me confused. So difficult to know when the exact time should be. I'm trying to spend time with him, petting him. Some Snuggles. He's such a little love. Always has been.

in between all this with Tag. My DHs office arrived. During the shipment many pieces were damaged and we were waiting for replacement items. Well they came and it’s together. I love it. Not that I want him to work anymore than he has to. But it’s so damn nice

Welcome Goldens

hi Goldens, welcome! I'm a setter girl at heart but currently owned by a sweet black lab mutt. Love goldens too. Knew a couple super gundog goldens. Such versatile dogs.

Welcome to Mel’s living room, Goldens. You already know about the wonderful support here and the “comfy place” it is, so plop down whenever you want to.

Moth, I love your black lab mutt pic too.

Mel, feeling for you as you navigate this time with Tag. I've only been through this with a 20 yr. old cat, but she was my first and it was so hard, but I knew we were doing the right thing for her. Our black lab had a chocolate lab friend down the street and he would come visit every day for years. When our lab died, his friend came every day for a week before he realized our dog was gone and not coming back; he never returned. It was so sweet, but so sad, too.

Tanya in your pocket tomorrow. I hope all goes well and you get the pain relief you need.

Moth in your pocket for port surgery, too! I've had mine for over 5 yrs. not needing it for 3.5 yrs, then wham, back to it, but glad I don't need surgery again. I think you're gonna love your port.

Mae in your pocket 8/31 and Simone on 9/1, too!

GoldensRBest, Welcome! I always loved goldens, but never had one. Beautiful puppers you have! We haven't had a dog since we lost our Dachshund two years ago. I miss having one although we've ended up caring for our daughter's rabbit since she can't have him in her new apartment. He's an indoor bunny and actually quite a hoot.

Hello and hugs to all.

Today he is with it more. But it’s his back legs. Can’t get up alone. Wobbles and falls with the slightest restraint or tug against him. We’re just deciding what day this week. I keep putting it off so does Dh I know. We both are heartbroken.

Welcome Goldens.

Thanks all for the support tomorrow. Anxiety tonight I'm sure. I'll be taking everything to try to get some rest. AWW but the mind wanders where it will.

Mel so sad about Tag. We've gone through the loss with dogs and cats over the years. The last cat, Berlios we said no more but then this rescue Moon kitty and all so now we start all over again.

Tanya

Thanks to all for the welcome! Since Covid, our weekends consist of virtual happy hour on Saturday with our bestest friends from Michigan (38 yrs of friendship!) and virtual happy hour on Sunday with our youngest daughter's in-laws. We are blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! Wishing all a peaceful week.

Mel, I’m thinking of you and your DH as you face your dog’s decline. I hope it will be very clear to you when it is the right time. I think our pets are blessed to live in the present, mostly, so they do not have the mental anguish we do. The main thing is they know your love for them.

Oh Mel, sending love. This is hard but kind.

Good luck tomorrow Tanya.

Goldens, your goldens are beautiful.

I have a beagle and terrier. They give such love.

heavy pockets Tanya.

Sunshine. I am a sap when it comes to snuggles with my Tag he wasn’t much of a bed sleeper Deeohgee is. Tag loves his dog bed. It’s adorable. He knows it’s his. Precious dogs we have....

Jen~Cute Lil guy. I love beagles. They make us smile no matter what ! I want to hug him. Lol

I agree Goldens, seeing people makes such a difference for sure. I will say I have a person who started as a wellness check call and she asked me if we could be friends outside of the wellness check. We talk 5 days a week as friends and that has been a godsend to me. We do not ever intend to meet in person, we both like the phone only idea and we are friends on facebook. It is a good boundary to have in order to maintain out wellness check relationship as well.

I am also hoping the best for Tanya and was snuggled in her pocket early on.

More beautiful dogs, good tto see as well. Saying hello right back to Mel. A person at the grocery store complemented me on one of Mels masks, it had some pink, purple and somewhat gold tones. Wore it with a pink shirt and head covering. Thanks Mel.

I did a lot yesterday, feeling tired today so taking it easy. Mostly laundry and surveys being done. My cat is helping me with the surveys on the laptop as you can see. Very cute boy my Tigger.

Tanya, you are in my thoughts. I hope all goes smoothly and you get great results.
