His Death Leaves Big Paws to Fill for Owner, Foundation
I am so sorry about your loss. In recent weeks I had to let my sweet labador Abigail go to Heaven too. I think only animal lovers understand the ache that death brings. I took the day off from work and my co-workers told my patients that I had a death in the family and they presented me a sympathy card when I returned the next day. It was a heartbreaking day despite being the right decision to make. I had her sent to Angel Paws to be cremated, and when I got her urn returned about 12 days later it made me feel much better to have her home where she loved to be. I also have a labador that will be 17 in September. My dogs are like family members and very loved. I pray you find some comfort in the coming days with the prayers from family and friends. Don't know if you believe dogs go to Heaven, but I hope so! There are lots of books on that topic which I found to be helpful on those mornings when I miss her so much. I wish you blessings in finding a new dog to fulfill your guide dog needs.
