Shecky, I just read this…been off line for several weeks… I’m so sorry my dear loving friend. Besides having an adorable pic of Whiskey and my son Nathan spooning together at your house… a few years back….I have the most wonderful and fond memories of Whiskey. Thanks to G.G. and the key incident, I had the wonderful pleasure of being your roomy and dogsitter. Whiskey was a wonderful and sweet friend…she was an avid walker too!! I guess Whiskey and Matt are partying on the other side. … with all the other beautiful souls who we miss greatly and have passed ahead of us…..

I love you my dear friend and please know I will always admire your very tender, caring and generous heart. (miss you too)

What a beautiful dog. I only saw her when she had lost so much weight and was so thin. She truly was beautiful. I know you will miss her but you know that you gave her a good home and she was always loved. Your decision was your final gift of love to her even though I know how hard it is. You did the right thing for your beloved pet.

Well written post about a passionate subject.
Sorry for your loss, but most of us can identify
in some way with your story.

Again, sorry about Whiskey.
Well written.

I remember I was there that weekend when she lost the tooth. I know this was hard but you did the right thing and I’m very proud of you! I’m glad I got the chance to get to know her and that the end wasn’t prolonged. I hope Rocky is doing alright without her.
thinking of you,

Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember you acknowleding the passage of time and its effects on her when we were last there. And that’s now quite some time ago. She lived a good, long life
Sorry to hear of her passing, and you gave her a great life.

Take care.

Jeff, I have tears in my eyes reading your post. My condolences to you. My best friend was put down in April and I miss her every minute so I share your grief. They never live long enough. There is satisfaction in knowing that you gave Whiskey a loving, caring home and she was a part of a wonderful family. I applaude you for staying with her until the end – not everyone can do that but I believe it gives them comfort. Thank you for sharing.

I’m so sorry for your loss. How fortunate for you to have had him show up in your life. How great for Whiskey to have been sent to such a compassionate man. As the proud custodian of two beautiful dogs, I understand the inevitable decision to put Whiskey to sleep. I’ve had to do it to another loyal companion, Boris (of blessed memory). Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us.

Jeff,

So sorry to read about whiskey today.

I will always remember that night at your house when you found her and how Josh started to call her Whiskey!. She meant the world to you and I know how much you cared for her.She was the best dog!

We will all miss her too!
