They always make me cry. Every once in a while I go back to the previous one and read it. Something about them really tugs at my heart. It is very bittersweet. Maybe it's knowing the end always comes, or maybe it's that I currently have two siblings, Ruby and Cooper. I don't know. <br /><br />The AmyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145331118880496266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740965012581134877.post-16225929612961036322009-10-05T10:19:28.387-04:002009-10-05T10:19:28.387-04:00i know the feeling. let's all gnaw on a rawhi...i know the feeling. let's all gnaw on a rawhide bone and sleep in the sun...kalyxcornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953061132081013147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740965012581134877.post-32533676816177704642009-10-04T22:25:38.340-04:002009-10-04T22:25:38.340-04:00Kaly, I have been putting off reading Baxter's...Kaly, I have been putting off reading Baxter's posts because I knew this was going to be a hard one for me. Before I had Twix, I had Max. He was a black and tan doxie that I had for about 14 years. He passed away when he was 17. It was a decision I had to make just like you did and it still breaks my heart. I miss him so much. I lost Max 10 years ago, it will be 11 years in the spring.

And without missing a beat, God answers, "yeah, two -- I created the New York Yankees and I didn't let dogs live long enough!"

I dread the day that I may have to face the inevitable. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing the boys with us - and of course Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644756255179564555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740965012581134877.post-47491185685979773192009-09-29T17:29:16.394-04:002009-09-29T17:29:16.394-04:00Thanks for all the kind words!

But it's still a whack in the head, which I'll still take over not having had them at all. It'll be interesting to see what we do when Baxter's time comes, as far as taking on another dog after he's gone.
