[Dailydrool] Lucy and Basil

Melissa:
I know only too well what you are feeling and that yes, Lucy probably  
wanted to be with Basil. I went thru this in '08 when I had to lose my best  
friend Spanky to an auto immune disease. His buddy Sonny was depressed and 
after  a month took him to the vet. Xrays, ultrasound, bloodwork showed nothing. 
A  month later, he refused food and as he slept next to me that night I 
noticed he  was breathing a little faster than normal. I took him to the vet 
the next day  where they palpated a huge mass on his spleen, They rushed him 
into surgery and  the growth was so big it took two people to lift it out. 
But the cancer was also  in his liver and lungs so I hugged him and let him 
join Spanky. My vet said  she had never seen such an aggressive cancer. I 
firmly believe that once he  realized Spanky was not coming back, he gave up on 
life. 
I am reliving those days right now and shedding tears for your loss and  
mine. Yes, our dogs love us but sometimes they feel the need to be with their  
own. May their spirits return to you in the body of another animal and know 
that  they are still with you in your heart. 
Kathy with Crackers, Loki and Jordan
