I completely agree. I lost two male rescue Pyrs in '08 to old age and cancer. It left me with my only other Pyr Hannah and I had decided that I just couldn't do it again. It truly hurts so much. I decided that maybe I'd reconsider when I retired (5-6 yrs yet). And then a skeletal Pyr (51 lbs) was picked up. WI rescue asked me and how could I say no? I mean 51 lbs, 5 years old, scared of everything. My heart healed just like that. God always helps us. The dogs name is Tucker... and now we are three.

It does not, and sometimes when the pain is the greatest you might think, I cannot do this again. Its just too much!! But then when you think deeply about your dog, you know they left you with more than they took with them and that means more to me than anything else. I always think about the old Janis Joplin classic, "Take a little piece of my Heart". It certainly is that at least, but the result is actually a fuller more mature person for having the love and trust of these special creatures under God's great umbrella.
Hang in there.
