Well, since Jolie went to rainbow bridge(July 22, 2020) it was extremely lonely around here. My wife thinks I may have been suffering depression since our girl passed on. I have been retired since 2012. And Jolie has been our companion since that time. We rescued her from my brother in law who thought that his cigarettes and booze was more important than Jolie\’s health and well-being. When he went into NYC housing he was not allowed to bring Jolie. So we took ownership. We had to lay out over $3k in dental and shots and health. The vet said that had we not taken ownership Jolie would have certainly died within months!! Jolie was my constant companion and we had fun. Kidney and liver problems began their attack a year before they took her. I could see her health dwindling and when it came time to let her go I COULD NOT. I probably caused her suffering. I WAS SELFISH!! I couldnt let her go. But a week before we put her down it became obvious that we had to put her down(My eyes are still welling up even now!!! We say goodnight to her every single night since she passed.
BUT HAPPINESS FOUND US ON DECMBER 9, 2020!!! A breeder friend had an 8 year old schnauzer that she was giving away free. She thought of us and brought LIBBY(a mini schnauzer) by and we took ownership of LIBBY. She was an AKC champion for many years and had many pups that became champions. She has taken to us and we have taken to her. She just recently started sleeping in our bed. she has the cutest and funny bark-heave-bark. She wont take place of Jolie but she has become a loving family member. A JOY TO HAVE AROUND and keep me company!!!
I do not have any of Libby\’s pics on my office computer. I probably have 1000s on my phone. I will send one when I transfer them here.
BUT THANK GOD for Libby!!!! Jolie sent a beautiful pet to replace her in our home!!!-
I am SO happy for you and Libby. You are the opposite of selfish – you keep your heart and home open for new life and love. There is never an easy way or time to say goodbye and you did your loving best for Jolie. My old girl (cat) has been living with a progressive inflammatory disease, has high blood pressure and hyper-thyroidism. Twice, I thought it was time to part and both times the doctor said no, she has some good time left in her, which she has :-). So I know, and we all know, it can be very difficult to tell when letting them go is truly their time. It’s always a decision made from love. When you get around to sharing pictures of Libby, we love seeing them. Stay in touch and let us know what you and Libby get up to!
