  • Re: How the Hank Turns

    Shellie, I'm sure your heart aches even when your mind knows he's now at peace. I'm so sorry for your loss. May fond memories of Hank comfort you during this difficult time.

    Something about your Hank stories tugged at my heart. A spirited dog with a kind soul. He will be missed.

      • Shellie,

        I've been thinking about you all weekend. I completely understand what you mean when you talk about your dad being old school. My dad is the same way. I can totally hear my dad saying the same things and acting the same way when it comes time to let my Bazzle dog go. I commend you for not being confrontational with your dad. I'm sure that took a lot of emotional strength at an already trying time. Of course we love our dads anyway.

        I hope you can be comforted by the good and positive memories of Hank. I'm sure that he knew how much you loved him, and I believe your choice was the right one.

        Sending cyber hugs and well wishes your way,

          Been thinking about you & Hank all weekend too. Glad to hear things went peacefully Friday, and Hank left us while in your loving arms - his favorite place, I'm sure.

          It's very painful to have to say good bye to one as close to you as Hank. Just reminds us of how much one meant to us and how good the relationship was when the pain from the parting hits.

              Shellie,

              I'm so very sorry for your loss. Hank was such a sweetie and you were a great mummy to him. I understand wanting the duties of carer back again. My heart is with you at this heartbreaking time.

              Much love,

                Shellie,

                Never an easy thing to do. I took solace knowing that when the time came, it was a relief...not on our part, but rather on theirs. I knew, just like you did that it was time. And I too would do it all over again, if I could have her back.

                Hugs,

                    Even though I lost Buddy, I still come to this forum periodically and I am so sorry to read of the passing of Hank (Mr. Pickypants as many of use got to know him).

                    I read your last post and I can so relate. Know in your heart that you went beyond trying to cope with Hank's problems and making him feel comfortable. He knew he was well loved

                    As I've said before, that is the time when I just hate loving my furry babies so much.

                    Take good care of yourself
