Dog rescue is a sad and dark place but as a rescuer regardless of all the horrible things you see... the abuse, the neglect, the death, the ones you can't help, the mean and cruel people... you deal with it for the dogs. You put on a happy face and you deal. This blog is to help one dog rescuer deal and hopefully show other rescuers they are not alone, even though it feels like that most of the time.

The hardest part about owning a pet....
you know you will out live them.
Today my husband had to put to sleep his black lab. He got Disco when he was in college and it was my husband's very first pet..l. well besides the ones he had when living with his parents.
"It's not the full-stop at the end of the book that is important, it is the story inside", is what my sister wrote to me last year when my collie Diva had to be put to sleep after fourteen years. I am sure that Disco, like Diva, was a darn good read. This is so hard. Those paw prints are so painful on our hearts.
i would think it is a blessing that we outlived them. i have many of my dogs outlived me, more than 10 during the last few years. i m glad it is the other way round where they are left unattended if i died.

That breaks my heart to even think of losing either one of my boys. My condolences to your hubby for losing Disco.
