Darci

I cried reading about Dancer – I can especially relate as my “old guy” has come close to passing a couple of times the past 4 weeks – each time he decides he is not ready and comes back – slowly, but he comes back. I only hope that he passes the same way that Dancer passed with you – doing what she loved, with the sweet smell of grasses and flowers all around, happy and free to run again…..

For Dancer: Godspeed to your dancing feet, your dancing eyes, and your dancing heart; you were the first SitStay dog I fell in love with back in 1998. May joyful memories help to heal your mom and dad’s hearts, and may you dance always there.
sincerely,
Kathy & Bogey (Terv) and Chase (Mal x GSD cross)

Darcie – I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. What a wonderful tribute to her. Our pets are with us for such a short time, but leave such huge imprints on our hearts. Dancer will always be with you in every soft breeze you feel and will be keeping watch over you from her high perch. I hope your treasured memories will bring you comfort in the hard days ahead.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Dancer looks like my Belgian Sheepdog, Roxy. She walked up to me while I was reading your beautiful story and I started sobbing.

When you lose an elderly bitch or dog
You walk for days in an awful grey fog.
You remember the times of your dear friends youth
When her body was young and her eyes shone with truth.
Now her eyes have grown dim and her body is slow.
Yours is the decision, you must let her go.
Mine was that decision on a sunny April morn
As I held her in my arms I recalled the time she was born.
For thirteen happy years she’d shared my days,
So much love in a tiny body can only amaze.
I thanked God for giving my Dainty to me
With my eyes blinded by tears I let her go free.
There’s a spot in my garden with a small wooden cross.
There’s a place in my heart with a great sense of loss.

I wrote this after the Vet told me he could do no more for her and “mine was the decision”.

I’m sorry for your loss. The passing of a good dog is always a terrible blow.

Dancer and your other dogs will patiently wait for you until you come home to them and you’re all together again…

Darcie & Kent
I am so sorry for your loss. The story of her passing brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your Dancer with all of us. Seeing the picture of Dancer and the way you described her, looking into her eyes, you feel you could see her soul. What a beautiful girl. May you find peace and comfort in the memories that are Dancer.

I didn’t know Dancer but I know the deep pain that one feels on the loss of a special dog. My deepest condolences.

Dancer left this earth doing what Dancer loved. What better ending or beginning is there then that?
Dancer is off on a new adventure. Celebrate the life, love and great humor she gave to you and all that knew her.
Run Dancer Run.
