Yesterday was a rather hard day, because we found out that Ami, our
11-year old White German Shepherd, had bone cancer. Not only that, but
the cancer had weaked her bone and it had broken. Basically, there was
nothing else we could do but have her put to sleep. We stayed with her
until the end, so that she would know that she would be with those who
loved her.
We have another QI, Banjo, who is a black & tan German Shepherd. Ami's
health deteriorated over the past 6-months and had been so quiet
lately, that I don't think he missed her much at first. However, last
night I found him outside of the bedroom door everytime I got up. He
normally sleeps in the living room, so I am sure that he is missing
her. He is a very gregarious dog and liked to sleep next to her. We
think that we will have to find another dog or puppy to keep him
company rather soon.
I was sick during all that went on and I was feeling quite low when we
got home -- both from the illness and loss of Ami. In a way I am glad
that I was ill yesterday, because it would have been awful for my DH to
have to deal with losing Ami by himself (I would normally have been at
the office downtown Houston). I am feeling a little better physically
this morning, but still crying a little now and then over the loss of
our lovely QI. I try to keep in mind that she had a very good life here
in the country, with lots of space in which to run around (we have a
huge, fenced back yard).

(((HUGS)))) to you and DH.
It is always heartbreaking to lose one of our special furry
friends. They are so loyal and loving, and so accepting of
us with all our faults. We all wish we were able to keep
them with us for longer. But Ami would thank you for all
your loving care and this final peaceful gift.
I hope that with time the good memories will be a comfort to
you, and you will find a place in your heart and in your
life for another special friend. In the meantime be patient
with Banjo. He will not understand and you cannot explain,
so just give him a little extra love until he adjusts.

Sorry for your loss, Bev. It's always hard.
But, you are right to concentrate on the lovely life she had with you -
and you with her.
