and people wonder why I don't believe in god

I think we can all agree that this world needs all of the beauty and joy and happiness that it can get. Am I right?

How can anything or anyone justify or explain why such joy and beauty would be taken out of this world?

It's not right. It's just not right.

Go here and donate in her name. Perhaps it will help another family not have to endure this hell.

I tried to link to Heather's site for you, but I think we've crashed their server. Here's a link to a lovely memorial that Sam put up.

Again

First Maximus, then Katharine Hepburn. Now Athena.

Athena was the oldest of my herd. At 11, she's been through it all with me. She helped me raise Maximus, Katharine Hepburn, Betty Boop, and these two goofy labs. Not to mention Silas.

She woke me this morning to tell me good bye. I was able to help her with her transition by holding and comforting her while she took her last breath and until she left her body.

And I'm not sad.

Not really.

Eleven years is a pretty good run. She was getting to the point where she was in pain more than she was comfortable. I could tell she was sad that she couldn't keep up with the pups when they run in the yard.

So now she's not hurting anymore and it's hard to be sad about that.




Beena, you were a good dog and we'll miss you.

Rest in Peace

It is done. I am knackered.
