[Dailydrool] Zack ATB

[Magda Hughes]

Our beloved Golden Retriever, Zack, that we rescued 10 years ago, had to be
put to sleep Friday night.

Some of you that did the Christmas card exchange might have seen his
picture.  He was a beautiful soul that

our family is going to miss terribly.  It was a rough year for our sweet
boy.  He got skunked, had to have his 

tail amputated, tore ligaments in his left knee & then the other night tore
up his right knee.  He could no

longer stand & our Vet said there really was nothing more that she could do.
Those are terrible words to hear.

So, we had to make that awful decision.  Everybody tells us it was for the
best but, somehow you still have 

alot of guilt.  I've seen that a lot of people have lost their dogs this
year in the Daily Drool, so I know you can sympathize. 

 

Then of course, what about the dog left behind?  Lola (our basset) just
walks around room to room & out in the 

yard looking for him.  Just when you think things couldn't be any sadder,
you have to witness this.  The only funny

thing about that is, she gave Zack heck any chance she could.  And now she's
a lost dog.  I know it will take awhile to

get over this emptiness but, we all do in time.  

God speed Zackman.  You will be forever in our hearts.
