Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:15:31 -0600

He was grieving terribly for his Forever Dog Friend, Satin, who had passed away. And his other best dog friend, Shami, had also recently passed away after a terrible and mysterious illness. He told me his heart was so heavy with grief that he just didn't know how he could go on. His health was very bad and he could hardly move he was in so much pain. To complicate matters, his remaining dogs were out of control. They jumped on everyone, which was terribly embarrassing. They barked and would not shut up, and they urinated in the house. One dog would go outside then come back inside to pee! Dutchess would physically launch an attack on the front door when someone just walked by, and since the door was largely glass, Dr Joey was afraid she'd break the door! He couldn't take them for walks because they would pull in all directions and one he would have to...

Animals have long lives, and most folks intend to give them a forever home. After all, our animal companions are often a large part of our lives and we spend a great deal of time, energy, money and effort on their behalf! But the fact is that millions of animals are purchased or trade hands every year, and more than of these amazing beings wind up moving on from one owner to the next, until they are at the end of their lives which often comes a lot sooner than expected. Through no fault of their own, they either weren't the right animal for the job, they were outgrown, abused, or injured, or were simply misunderstood and mishandled so they became sad or frightening animal nightmares!
