Phoenix’s presence is greatly missed today. My pack of four is now a pack of three…. note, they knew Phoenix was ill before I did. They have been so very curious about his urine, stool….smelling him, they knew. Do they miss him….yes they do. Phoenix was the dog pack leader….a position he really never wanted but it was passed down to him when Montana died. He also was the dog that loved to play…funny how not one initiated play today. Yes, they were quiet because I was sad…still it was Phoenix that was the fun dog. They are pining for their Friend who one day left and never returned….life does go on and while quiet now with each passing day we will find our groove. One day we all will play and smile and laugh and just have fun….Phoenix taught us all so well!
Then there was three…

Hello – I am so sad and crying like a baby – I feel your loss – I’m so sorry you and the rest of your family have to go thru this. I think you were very brave in the decision you made for your beloved Phoenix. How lucky he was to have you for a human….. I feel the need to paint him – I look at the picture you posted of his sweet face on the day he left this earth and want to kiss it and scratch his head – I see the picture you posted of him and his much smaller sibling/friend on that Monday and I see his happiness and continment with life — why did this have to happen? I know they say it is better to have loved and lost then never to loved at all and hopefully…one day… you can feel that way but for now – just go thru the motions as best you can – if you need help with anything – - if there is anything I can do please let me know……

Oh Kendra….Thank You for your very kind words.
