Marty & family,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss of Amy. There seems to be so little that others can say or do right at this time.
Hopefully just knowing that we care will make it somewhat easier.
As a German Shepherd mom, I understand totally the way they worm their way into our constant
consiousness, are as close to our heart as any human member of the family. Velcroed to our sides
they become as much one with you as taking a breath.
We lost our special Bearboy 6 years 8 months and 7 days ago. He passed as your Amy did.
I thought they'd come get me with a butterfly net I was so shattered.
In retrospect as devoted as we were to each other I came to understand that for him, it was the
best way to go.
It was sudden and complete and he did not suffer one moment. I recognized that it would have
torn me completely to watch him in a lingering illness that would have robbed him of his joy
for life.
Hopefully in time your hearts will smile knowing what an incredibly happy fulfilled life Amy
had with you both as parents.
Take good care of you. {{HUGS}}
