My beloved Chandler is truly an Angel

Dawn

I'm so sorry! It is a most difficult decision to make, but I'm sure was the right one.

Chandler will always be with you, just like your other forever pups. He will always have a place in your heart.

Your letter was lovely. Having gone through my own losses 3 years ago, I found that putting my feelings on paper was very healing. Everytime I do it, I end up a great big sobbing mess for a little, but afterwards, I feel very cleansed. Sometimes I will look at the music collage I made for my daughter or read her memorials, have a good cry, and then feel "aligned" again. Its normal and its healthy to grieve and to find ways to express your feelings about your grief. I think your letter did just that.

Thank you for sharing with us!
Take care

Thank you all for your condolences and kind words. I know it hasn't hit me yet. It took a few days for it to all sink in with my Lacey. So I am trying to hang in and take comfort in knowing Chandler enjoyed a beautiful day yesterday.

We walked to the park knowing even though it is only less than 1/2 block he would need to rest on the way. I layed a blanket out and we all just layed under his favorite tree until he barked to let me know it was time to go home. I had the BF meet us there with his car since I knew the short walk there would tire Chanlder and it would be too much for him to walk home also. We loaded the pups in the car and took them to Mcdonalds and grabbed a couple 1/4 pounders. When we got home Gypsy snubbed her nose at them so Chandler enjoyed both. A veal chop Sunday and 2 1/4 pounders Monday. I'd say he enjoyed his last couple days here on earth and will tell Lacey and Buddy of his final days filled with love.

Thanks again everyone. All the love here is certainly helping the healing process.
 
Your poem was beautiful. The last line got my eyes moist, well, Ok, tears flowed. What joyful reunions will be there when they hear our voices.
 
Dawn, what a beautiful time, the last couple of days, Chandler was surrounded by love and comfort. Bless you, for the care you have given all your shelties. May all my puppies in their new homes know such unconditional love and caring.
 
The next few days will be tough, but we are all here for you. Call or PM if you need to. You are in my prayers daily.
 
Dawn, I found your letter just beautiful. It expresses everything so well. I am just so sympathetic to your loss of your pal Chandler. It's so hard to look around the house and they're not there...

I hope your memories will comfort you in time. All of us here know how difficult this transition is. Hugs to you and Gypsy.

I just read the whole thread and cried. I am so sorry for your loss. Your poem is beautifully expressed and so full of love. God Bless you, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Chandler. You both were so blessed to have each other!
 
Dawn,
you are such an amazing poet to put all that into words. I'm so sorry that you and Chandler didn't have more time together but as previously posted, the last best gift is letting them go. Your words of comfort last fall meant so much to me and I hope that your poem has helped you.
Your story of the last days was amazing and I hope that you know that Chandler knew everything and appreciated it. He will always be with you :sadsmile:
