This is a hard thing for me to write. Our sweet doggie pal Hannah has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. It should`nt really come as a great shock as she had a major operation for it in February and we were told that although she was clear at the time , there are no guarantees as to the future. Nevertheless, we as a family are heartbroken. She isnt in any pain and can carry on as usual for as long as she can. To look at her, besides having a large swelling on the right side of her head and being blind in the right eye also, she just looks fine, just like any other 13yr old labrador. Theres nothing else I can add today but at least I`ve written it down and as I`m looking at the screen and I read it back I am starting to realise how hard it is for other dog owners in this position. I`m sorry if I sound over sentimental but thats how I feel. Next time I write something I hope it will be something cheerful, but I dont feel that way at the moment.
God Bless

Sandra, I am so very sorry. What can I say? Having been through it several times, it does not get any easier. But please know that Hannah has had a long life, lots of love and the very best of care. You could do no more. I feel for you my dear friend and you will be in my thoughts.
So sorry about your doggie. You are not being overly sentimental. Our pets are part of our family. She is your beloved and cherished doggie. Sorry you are in so much pain. But I am glad your dog has been having a good life with you. I am sure that means everything to him. -Krissy

Sandra, I am so sorry to hear about your wonderful dog, Hannah. We, as pet owners, can not describe to non-pet owner's enough what our pets mean to us. You are not being overly-sentimental. Your journal is a place to let your feelings out and I hope you will continue to do so! I understand that you must be heartbroken. I have always had cats and have a cat right now and she is a member of the family to me and a child as well. I will pray for you and I wish comfort for your family and your beloved Hannah at this time. Hugs, Valerie
