Like Bucky says, I've been being selfish and my poor girl is getting tired. It's just my wife and I here ,so Stinky gets all of our attention......I work nights,so my wife is here with Stinky all night and gives her someone to talk to when I'm gone, and when I get home my wife is in bed, so I usually get my shoes off and sit chat with Stinky a bit before I go in and see my wife. We both love this little dog completely.....she has become much more than a "dog" to us........much like the family member I mentioned to Ewok the other day. I've known this day was coming for a little while, and I've selfishly postponed it for my own needs, but it can't be put off any longer..............I just made the call and we have a 5:30pm appt. Very sad day here, lots of tears, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. All the memories and good times we've had will live in my mind forever!
Thank You for all you have given us Stinky and We will always love and cherish you!
Thanks for listening guys
Brother I do feel for you both. For my wife Rocco was the one that filled an empty spot for her when she found out she could not have kids any more. For me Rocco was more for her but then later became exactly as you. He is the one I talk to allot after my stroke. For the wife and I Rocco became basically one of our kids then our best friend as well.
I will be praying for you, your wife and for Stinky. The memories are what it is really all about. With every loss I have ever had in my life be it family, friends, or companions remember the good times.
I know its bad timing but just a little advice, If you do not have any get a photo or 3 of stinky. Down the road you will want to look at them and remember after some time has went by and wounds are healed. There will be times you and the Mrs will want to reminisce. Having that visual makes it even the more greater.
