My dear friend Johnny,

So very nice to receive your comment this morning. I miss you too. Hugging the dog has helped with losing Jan, for sure. I miss her everyday.

Cancer sucks.

I’m sorry for the loss of your Mom, and I hope that time eases your pain. Love you, John Carlson.

Missy

I have an oven mitt that says it all: “When all else fails, hug your dog”…I lost my Mom last year and it sucks, but when I feel real sad…I call my two best friends and their unconditional love helps get through the moment…sorry for your loss. I miss you.

Missy,
So nice to find your blog. I adopted my Chase (Choc Lab) from the Prison Canine Companions. They train service dogs, but Chase didn’t meet full requirements. After having him for 4 years, I knew he deserved a job. He has never left my side or forgotten his training. We just passed the CGC test yesterday. As with you, the biggest obstacle was me. I wanted this so deeply, but angst of all got in the way. Not an emotional person, but fell apart with tears when I heard “Passed”. We are now close to Therapy Dog certification and will be working with the Red Cross at the Army hospital.

So proud of you, this is not easy work. In fact it is pure dedication and hard work to get through.
Thank you for sharing, it feels good to know another kindred soul is part of all.

Wish our Cabela’s allowed dogs – it would be an ideal place for some distraction work.

Awesome post, BTW.

Missy, my dear friend,
I’ve had the misfortune of watching too many people very close to me suffer through agonizing, hideous illnesses that all too soon robbed them of their lives. But my bedside presence at their dying—as heartrending as it was—provided an opportunity I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I got to witness—to be inspired by—their undaunted courage in the face of their failing struggle. I got to experience, at their hands, their utter humanity—their compassion towards me for my pending loss. And upon their passing—upon the memory of their lives—I was always reminded of how precious and beautiful being alive is.
There are no guarantees that we will wake up tomorrow morning. But when we do, we should take a lesson from the playbooks of our life-embracing pups, Emma and Diego: play hard, always take advantage of a soft bed … and never forget to spoil the dog.
Luv ya,
Mike/Diego

Missy – I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Cancer sucks…and I have too many people who have had to suffer its terrible effects – my Dad died 14 years ago from Multiple Myeloma. I can certainly understand your not feeling up to writing one of your wonderful blogs right now.

I really enjoyed reading your blogs, meeting your dogs, and getting to know you a little better this semester. Take care!

Missy, so sorry for your pain.
Seems to me that what you wrote above applies perfectly to dogs. Even if they don’t know the meanings of the words, they certainly live that way, and have been trying to teach us that for a long time.
Praying for you, and for Jan’s family and other loved ones.
