Saying Goodbye to Honey Bear.
I want to share with you Honey Bear today. As you can see by the pictures, she is one of the most gentle, unassuming, and sweet natured dogs in the entire world. I will never forget when I first got Spike (the little rat in a dog suit), my Yorkie Carley was so jealous she wouldn't have anything to do with him. My friend brought Honey Bear up to the house, and she held a silent meeting with both of them, as if to say "Look, kids, you NEED to get along and that's all there is to that!". (of course now Spikey and Carley are BFF's)
Putting a dog down is never an easy choice. As with my best friend, our dogs are an intrigual part of our lives. Most times I feel as if I'm just watching my dog's home while they live here. I've had to put down 5 dogs, all due to the fact that they were getting ailments affiliated with just being old. They've been 15-16 years old. I was with each one of them as they took their last breath, and I said goodbye to them. My thought is that they deserved me to be with them in their hour of need for me, because they were always there for me.
Honey Bear has such a calming influence on everyone, and I adore her. She is so loved, and gives love easily. My friend rescued her
from the shelter where she had been in an extremely abusive home, and it took forever for
her and her husband to bring out the softer, trusting side of Honey
Bear.
For Honey Bear not to be able to run along the mountain trails, chasing squirrels and butterflies - that would surely mean death for her, anyway. To have to inject her with life supporting drugs, as she lies helplessly - this would surely mean death, also, because she can't do what she instinctively wants to do.
It's really a difficult time for her
owner, my best friend. Honey Bear has an illness that can't be treated,
and the decision to keep her on a multitude of drugs and watch her
deteroriate despite the drugs, or to 'let her go' is rapidly
approaching.
I'm saying Goodbye to her today, because I'm relatively confident that my friend is going to do right by Honey Bear, and say goodbye to her, also. And, I believe that ALL dogs go to heaven where there's an endless supply of milkbones, squirrels and butterflies to chase and ample green fields to run.
She has forever touched my heart,
as ALL special beings should!
