Very Sick Puppy

I am sure I sound a bit daft when I say that...but they had so much in common in terms of living in spite of horrible medical conditions. Of course, he was not in distress all of the time like she was, but he was a mess.

I have a picture of her kissing me...and when I went out of the room today for a few minutes, she cried for me. She only knew me from Saturday..and even that day her owner commented on how she came to me immediately as if she knew me. Just odd.

You're not daft... dogs KNOW, they can sense good people. It is a little odd for one so young though...

Sammy knows you are an angel to these babies. Dogs have a strong understanding of who love and protect them.

I guess if I believe in reincarnation...I might think it was him. It was weird..in the one pic Steph too of her, I saw him.

I cannot find that pic right now of Sammy, but here is one at the same angle...I swear they have the same face. Of course so many look alike..it was just the way it hit me today and, like I said, the similarities although he lived a lot longer.

Oh my Linda, this is just so very sad. I'm so very sorry for the loss of Mindy. She knows how very hard you were trying to help her. I know she is at peace and running and playing at the Rainbow Bridge. RIP Sweet Baby Girl!!!

What a beautiful little doggie angel was welcomed in heaven. I am so sorry, Linda. ~Joanne~

I am so very sorry.

just read this post and my heart breaks for you LadyJane...I think these little ones are sent to those whom they need most. She needed you to be with her at the end as hard as I am sure it was for you... take comfort in knowing she went with love all around her and at peace. Bless you for all you do...and prayers that you find comfort in knowing that she now runs pain free and with all of those special friends that went on before her to show her the way.

Oh Linda, I am so, so sorry. What a precious little baby. Rest in Peace.

That sweet little baby just laid on my chest and she kissed me over and over .. I will never ever forget her. In such a short time she left her mark on so many...precious little angel. I would have moved Heaven and Earth to save her...it just was not to be...and there was no way I would take her out of there and torture her. She is at peace now. While it was horrible for me to do, I am at peace knowing it was right for her.

Thank you so much to all of you for your kind words, your prayers and donations to little Mindy. She had a chance because of you.

I sometimes ask myself why I do this. I know that sounds selfish but I swear it is killing me bit by bit.

Linda, I am very sorry to hear that you had to let little Mindy go to the Rainbow Bridge. Your post is very moving, how you told her about Sammy, Gabby and Sunny D and the others who would be there to greet her.

Thank you for being there for Mindy and for making sure her suffering was not prolonged, and that her journey was peaceful.

It isn't selfish to question why you do this heartbreaking work. You wouldn't be a deeply caring person if you didn't question it.

Praying for your comfort.

Linda, I am so sorry about little Mindy. At least she had the best chance at life with you. You did everything possible for her and you didn't let her suffer. She really didn't have a chance. I'm glad the owner turned her over to you and I hope her little boy is healthy. Bless you Linda, you are an angel to so many little ones. Your heart is as big as the universe.

[Wylie's Mom]

Linda - I am so sorry for the loss of sweet Mindy. Your post brought tears to my eyes. You gave her a gift by letting her go. It's not selfish *at all* to wonder at times why you do this heart wrenching work...and that's the understatement of the century.

[DBlain]

oh Linda, my heart breaks for you and Mindy, such a little angel gone to heaven way to soon. Thank you for giving her a change.

[BlueBelle]

Linda~ You are a treasure. God has to be pleased with all that you do for these little ones. You are most certainly the kind of righteous soul that is spoken of in Proverbs 12:10. ..."The righteous care for the needs of their animals..."


Many prayers & blessings to all of those who give so unselfishly to these little rescue pups. May their rewards be ever so rich when it is time for them to cross that bridge too. Surely there will be LOTS of happy tails & wet kisses fully ready to welcome these precious ladies home too when it is their time.

I don't even know what to say. You all are so wonderful. You have no idea how much your kind words mean.

Today is a bit brighter. I snuggled with my pups last night and prayed for Mindy and all the babies who I hope one day to see again. I have to believe that all of us will one day be reunited with people and animals who have been a part of our lives.
