I Could But I Can’t

I know I promised more of Mountain Man and the barn restoration and I could tell you about that. He’s been hard at work.
Or I could tell you about the new project he started. After discovering that one bag of Portland Cement now costs $14.00, he’s decided to make his own. I could share that recipe. It’s working well.
And I could take you down into more holes as he places more footings.
But I can’t. I can’t write lighthearted entries today.
This morning Faeden had a seizure.
It happened so suddenly, lasted a couple of minutes and then ended leaving him shaken and confused. He’s resting comfortably now. The vet said his illness can take many forms and I should be prepared.
But I’m not. I’ve been fooling myself thinking he’ll be fine. That they were wrong and he’s perfectly okay. But he isn’t. I’ve been crying buckets of tears and I have a headache.
So please forgive me but not right now. I can’t.
I’m so very sorry. Just love that sweet baby for as long as you can. I know you will.

It is one of the hardest things to do – to let someone you love so much go. It’s been almost 1 year since I said goodbye to my best friend, Brandy and I can honestly say there hasn’t been a day go by that she has not been in my thoughts. The bond is so strong. I understand and I will be praying for you.

I sure will be thinking of you! Many prayers.

Oh, pally! I’m so sorry! And poor Faeden! Just love your little dog friend as long as you can–that is all you can do. Make him comfortable and give him plenty of love and hugs. I’m sending hugs for you, my friend.

Sara, I’m so sorry to hear about your Faeden. All we can ever do with animal family members is to love them as long as we can. One reason I don’t have animals is I always seem to out live them. It’s difficult to see them go.
My prayers are with you.

Love him all you can and I know you have done that every day. He knows he is loved by you, too. This is such a hard thing to do, saying goodbye to a true, loyal 4 legged fur baby and friend. He will let you know when the time is right. My boxer did, he rested his head on my knee and looked right into my eyes and I knew. He was telling me to let him be at peace. I will be thinking of the two of you, keeping you close to my heart. Give Faeden a hug and tender kiss from me.

Aww that must have been so scary to see! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry for your heartbreak!!! Hugs!!!!

It’s okay to grieve, it’s a part of being human and being able to love and care about someone or some pet that is dear to us.
So many words in the English language and yet none are capable of truly consoling someone. All I can say is; I’m so sorry.

I have lost so many wonderful creatures in my years. But, I do know how blessed I was to have them in my life.
Cuddle a lot today with Faeden. And love, and be loved…

Oh honey, I am so sorry. We are all here for you. I know how hard it is to go through something like this, I went through it with my cat Gandalf 2 years ago. I am sending you hugs and prayers, Arwen (my dog) sends you her little hugs and her gentle (no dog breath I promise) doggy kisses.
Be strong, enjoy your time with him, and know that he will tell you when it is his time to go to heaven. You’re a good mom and you’ll do the right thing

Oh, poor doggie! I am sending you prayers and your wonderful furry friend prayers.
Meghann is os right and this is so hard. Love you Dear Friend. I know it isn’t enough, but I still want to say it.

I’m so sorry to hear about Faeden. My heart goes out to the both of you and I certainly understand why your heart is not into posting on your blog. Please give him a hug for me and I wish I could give you a hug too…just know that it’s from my heart. Take care.

My heart cries for both you and Faeden as I can feel the love you have for him and he for you. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers.

That is so sad to witness and to help a pet endure since they certainly don’t understand what is going on. If the vet doesn’t recommend surgical intervention, dependig on the cause of the seizure, love and adoration, and ensuring he is safe and comfortable is what is called for. Love and support come from everywhere in your universe.

Love Faeden, and don’t worry about us. We will wait on your writing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh no, poor Faeden and poor you! I hope you both feel better soon!

I hope Faeden is doing okay now. It is so hard to watch as they deteriorate due to illness. I’ve been through it and its the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. Just as I made the decision to take him to the vet’s to end his suffering, he passed away peacefully in my son’s arms. It was, in a way, a huge relief to know that he was no longer suffering, that he was finally at peace and that I could quit worrying about him. I’m sobbing now as I write this; that was back in the early 1990′s and I still miss that dog. Hugs to you and to Faeden. I’m thinking of you and praying for Faeden.
