Samwise R.I.P. April 9, 2012

 

 Sam, my basset hound, died today.   He has been sick for two months.  It was mistakenly diagnosed as a stubborn abscess, but turned out to be cancer.    We helped him today end his pain.  

Sam has been my best friend (and online avatar) for years.   He was 8 years old.   He has a facebook page haha   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002276632214  

I know I haven't been here in ages.  But Sam represented me here for years.   I wanted to tell everyone here.   Cheers.

 Swampgirl's Sam

I am sorry to hear this news, your heart must be breaking. Some of my best friends have been and always will be the furry 4-legged type and I understand the pain you are feeling.

I know you don't know me but don't hesitate reach out if you need someone to talk to.

I still feel the pain of looking into the eyes of my pancreatic cancer stricken four legged friend. The hurt it unique every time a loved one goes, no less from our four legged ones. I understand and weep with you.

So sorry Swampy

Tried to find something meaningful to say but the words just aren't there.
All I can say is, I'm sorry .. I wish it didn't happen .. and I understand.
We will all always remember Sam. Wigs, glasses and all. And we all miss you Swampgirl.
Sweet dreams Samwise.

When my cat Griffey got attacked by a dog, I was at work. I didn't realize how bad it was because I passed up the chance to leave during lunch and go visit her. Instead, I worked through lunch and got off early, but when I got to the vet's office, they were already closed and I couldn't see her. She didn't make it until I could finally get in. I really, really wish I could've seen her one more time just to let her know I cared about her.

I always feel stupid telling the story about my cat dying. We all know they're "little tragedies" waiting to happen, but that's the point. If you give them a good life, what more could they possibly ask for?

I just saw this and I'm so sorry to read this news, swampgirl. I just lost one of my own a few weeks ago (Lucy, a mini-schnauzer) to kidney failure. Hope to see you around.
