My girl is turning 11 this month so I know it's time to start emotionally preparing myself. You are such a great friend for being there for both her and Shadoe.BDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10660018966658744459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-32864190150284713962011-11-07T18:35:33.832-08:002011-11-07T18:35:33.832-08:00My morning routine is to check my bank account, ch...My morning routine is to check my bank account, check my email, see what's new on Blogger, check my stats after reading your daily post, then check FB and get on with my day. I got a little stalled out on this one this morning. My baby is 9, and my (oh-so-sensitive) MIL asked me yesterday "and how long do pugs live". I guess I hope that in however many more years that is, I develop the strength to hold her, too. Though for now I can't imagine how. Maybe it's the strength of a nurse.<br /><br />PS - only you would get yourself into these situation...dog sit for a few days and end up being the hospice caregiver.Jenny Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870488565611786295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-22381641343053149362011-11-07T11:26:40.478-08:002011-11-07T11:26:40.478-08:00Oh, Di - you would have liked Shadoe!Oh, Di - you would have liked Shadoe!Julia Oleinikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857783768340014545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-47178281734452334742011-11-07T11:08:40.684-08:002011-11-07T11:08:40.684-08:00Ok - I don't even really like dogs and I'm...Ok - I don't even really like dogs and I'm crying.

It was so hard for them. It just seemed like Juna gave up once they left. I felt so bad that they were visiting me and not able to be with Juna. Those of use who are so attached to our pets know we must go through this at some point. It doesn't make it any easier when it happens.Tricianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-78478104517861364692011-11-07T01:43:13.978-08:002011-11-07T01:43:13.978-08:00I would trust my dear little old dog with you and ...I would trust my dear little old dog with you and your family in a heart beat.
