Mary Jo, I've read your blog about Taz and I smiled at a 9 year old dog taking 2nd at nadac nationals and at all his titles and his obvious joy in those weave poles. He was a remarkable dog sports partner as I am sure you must be. When people told you that they wanted a dog just like Taz, they didnt' realize that much of what they saw in him, you gave him.
I want you to stop thinking about things being different had you taken him to the vet sooner. It would NOT have been different if he had a tumor that was bleeding out . It would NOT have been different and there is nothing good that can come of thinking those thoughts. Taz was a very lucky dog to have an owner that cared enough about him to work with him in the way that herding dogs NEED to be worked with - and to live a life where he was a part of your day every day. You did a wonderful job with him and its very sad that he was suddenly taken from you. We must remember that while its much more horrible for us when our beloved fur family members die suddenly, its better for them not to suffer. Hugs to you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:260762 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
