Bereavement Support Thread

I know. I did ask why they just didn't get her to rescue so she could have a loving forever home.
Because if things don't go as planned, and my friend won't be able to take her in a month, she deserves better than another temporary home.
Bulldogs are also a breed that can't exist without people (obligatory c sections and all), and I know they must have paid a decent amount for her.
But they also didn't mention giving her back to the breeder, which all good breeders do.
But then this family apparently has done this before (not the mom, my friend, but her son and daughter in law).
So much drama....
 
It's hard to be on the outside looking in on these kinds of situations, when what's best for the dog isn't necessarily what happens. Still very nice of you to offer to foster temporarily Cindy. I once had a little King Charles spaniel mix for a very short term foster after her spay. She absolutely stole my heart and fit immediately in with the Shelties at that time, but she already had an owner waiting, so it was OK.

Thanks for being willing to be the safety net for this 6 month old pup.
 
So today when I came into work this was waiting for me...

Gavin.jpg

Dana and I used to walk our dogs together at the beach and local parks until her dog passed away.
So maybe when Gavin was 8-10.
She and I worked together at a company 10 years ago and at my company now.
 
she apologized for not using a different pic (it was ordered before she found my online pics).
But its perfect. Gavin sitting on the couch looking at me with such love in his eyes.
and you can see his little leg is naked, so it was after he had his radiation.

the memories are EVERYWHERE. literally there is not much I did that didn't involve him.
walking to the ATM (he came with), going to the library (he came with), taking a shower (OK, he didn't come with, but he checked in on me so I left the door cracked so he could stick his little nose in), exercising at home (he would always end up laying on my grey puzzle mats towards the end of my workouts, just to say 'hi').
 
Gavin touched so many people...
I really appreciate how many people have reached out to me.
He wasn't just 'my' special boy.
I am still on dog wheelchair and paralysis groups to try and help people deal with mobility issues in their dogs ...so my boy can continue to help people and pups.
