Blue...

Sorry to hear about Blue. We went through the same thing about a year and a half ago with our lab Lucy. It still hurts enough that its keeping me from wanting another one. Maybe someday I will open up enough to allow another furry friend into our lives, but not yet.

As with any death its always worst right after it happens. Your sorrow may fade, but your love for him will always be strong. Take care and try not to suppress your emotions. I hope you find comfort in the fact that Blue isn't suffering anymore.

RIP Blue

Thanks Sir. One of the images that I can not get out of my head is this one...

we were working 12 hours a day, so the pups spent a ton of time alone. Max, a cattle dog we had, had a thing about Coonhounds. He grew up with Fred, a Black & Tan. Over the years he pierced Fred's ear twice and tore a 4"x6" by about 3/4" deep chunk from Red. Got home form work one night to find blood everywhere. Max had pierced Blue's ear. Blue was one of those pups that was constantly shaking his head, so in the process he was winging blood everywhere. This was taken at about 1:30 in the morning, if I remember right.....just before loading him into the little Ranger we had at the time to take him to the Emergency Vet clinic. Blue's ear, after it heeled had these sizable lumpy scars on it. In order to get it to heal our regular vet glued the tears and then wrapped Blue's head in an Ace wrap. Blue did not even make it into the truck to go home before removing the Ace wrap.

Not having a good day today, I see Blue everywhere I look. And then of course our African Greys are calling him, and howling just like Blue used to...Hell of a time to be alone....
