My lovely Sancho.

OMG! i am so sad and sorry for your loss..may i ask what happened?

Sorry, I feel it is too hard write about
what happend right now, and difficult in a foreign language.
I loved him so much and it is very ampty without him.

i know you are and i didnt mean to pry....it is just so sudden and tragic...
forgive me if i came across as rude...i didnt mean to.

I don't know the author of this, but it helped me thru losing Drez last year, and I hope it helps you now.

So this is where we part, My Friend,
And you'll run on around the bend,
Gone from sight but not from mind,
New pleasures there you'll surely find.

I will go on, I'll find the strength,
Life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
Share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,
But they be they and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought
Will remember well all you've taught.

Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
The fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you go to your final rest,
Take with you this -- I loved you best.

Okay now I am sobbing at my desk. What a lovely poem. I may have to frame it somehow.

And now I know why I try not to read this section while at work

I received this story from a friend today and thought it might help Grete:

Dog's Purpose (from a 6-year-old).

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.
Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, 'I know why.'
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, 'People are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?'
The Six-year-old continued, 'Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'

I am so sorry for your loss. I have not logged in for a while but thought I would see how things are. My own beloved Luaka passed nearly a year ago and I know how very sad you are and how much it hurts. You are very lucky to have so many people here who loved Sancho too. He is in extremely good company with many friends. Good luck. May your heart be free and your soul comforted.
