Hi all I thought I would drop you a post to say first of all not for sympathy but more to share some thoughts.
I have just had to have my best friend of 16 years put to sleep and it was the most painful thing I have ever done. I spent most of last night thinking about what it is to take an animal into your life care for it and then have to make the decision to say goodbye. I have got to know most of you on here through all the help and advice you have given me about Yoshi. You all know its hard.
But through all the pain it struck me that I have made a conscious decision to help JAWT to save a dogs life in the same way I did for Chevy 16 years ago from Battersea. However hard it hurts me now those 16 years ago, it was the most important thing I could have done for that animal my Chevy rescued from a miserable life.
The only regret that I have is becoming accustomed to having her around and almost taking her for granted as you do with good friends. This I promise you that we will never do with Yoshi as everyday with our beautiful Akita is a miracle and a learning experience that we must no will enjoy and savour.
Most of all having a dogs has really taught me humility and maybe, just maybe I can take that into this crazy world that we all live in.
In short, save more lives and love and cherish them while you can, coz when they are gone it hurts and there is a massive gaping hole. We will cherish the memories of our old girl and hope she is there to meet us one day
