My mom's pup


Today is a sad day for my momma. Her precious dog, Schnauzi, who is almost 14 years old, will be put to sleep today.

Schnauzi has been a very special dog. She has been a constant companion and an unfailing friend for my mom, through thick and thin.

She will be missed tremendously.




If you have a moment and feel like sharing a kindness, please pop over to my mom's blog (the bolded words are a link to it) and leave her a few words.

Thanks.

Awww, that's so sad. My thoughts are with her. I know how hard it is. I've been there.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Our pets are our faithful companions and confidants. I know I may have to face this situation with my own beloved pets, but I can only imagine how painful it must be. My thoughts and prayers are with your Mom, and with Snauzi.

Dani, I didn't realize that was your mom's blog I replied to. My thoughts go out to you as well. It's never easy to lose a beloved pet. Julie

This is the day we hope will never come, but if we're very lucky, it does. There's nothing like the love of an old dog, and there's nothing as hard - or as loving - as letting them go. Sweet thoughts here for your mom and Schnauzi, and you, too, Danni.

It's the hardest thing in the world to do. When this time of their life comes we must depend on lots of good memories. I'm so sorry.

Thank you, Daniella, for this lovely tribute to our Schnauzi. I know how much you loved her, too.
And thank you also, faithful readers of Danni's blog, for your kind thoughts. Every word is so appreciated.

That is the ONLY thing I hate about dogs....their short lifespan. I'm glad Schnauzi and your Mom have been able to spend such wonderful years together.

Mare said...

You are so sweet to your Mom. I can feel the love you have for her in every word you say. I am crying for your poor Mom and her loss. It is inevitable, but that makes it no easier to go thru...

Zitrone said...

Yes, Mare is right. You are so sweet to me, and I am very grateful for your love.
Now, if "Cityfarmer" reads this I want to tell Lee that I tried to write to her, but her blog is not established yet. So please contact me.

Eve said...

Oh so sorry Danni. I'll stop and send my thoughts.

Zitrone -
I think I fixed my account so you can see my email address. If not, let me know and we'll try something else.

Danni, thanks for being the conduit! - Lee

I am so sorry for you mom. My mothers has schnauzers and most of my family have them as well. My mom used to raise them to sell and they are the sweetest dogs.
