Lost a friend, Samba the Dog 2001 to 2014

Haven't heard anything on group since 2011

Dave, How are you?  We lost both Gypsy and Amber 3 days apart in October 2013.  It was heartbreaking. We've since adopted a Yorkie named Gizmo who was left at the ACC in NYC.  He went to a rescue in upstate NY where we found him. He's a total sweetheart. I am so sorry that you lost Samba too.  She was such a good girl, and I know you loved her very much. Donna

SO sorry to hear about Samba. It is so difficult. I had to put the precious P.R.PD. Pebbles to sleep in December. Can't get another dog right now due to pending knee surgery, but I did adopt a kitty. She is good company but is a little terror.

Hello Donna,  It is so nice to hear from you again am so sorry to hear that you lost Gypsy and Amber, I won’t tell Lady though, she would be heartbroken.   We now have a new little girl and Lady seems to really be enjoying the companionship.  Annie’s mother was a Chihuahua and we have no idea what her father was.  Annie is a little over a year old and she weighs 12 lbs. so he must have been a pretty good sized dog, we think probably Corgi because she has an extra long body.  She was the only one of the litter that survived and she was turned over to the MSPCA when she was less than two days old because her mother refused to feed her.  She was not expected to survive but she is quite a little fighter and the MSPCA took extremely good care of her.  Bob and I are now volunteering there, Bob has been there for about a year and it’s only been about three months for me.  It is a very difficult place to be because we both want to bring just about every dog home!

Bob, Anne, Lady, Annie, and Cocoa

Dave,

I am so very sorry to hear about Samba.....

Also about your beloved wife and the struggle with Alzheimer's ....  

It is hard to find the words.    My Mom had dementia/Alzheimer's  

The past 12 years as a single child / caregiver were.....   I thank god for the amazing support of my husband      

We had to say good bye to her after a difficult 3 month stretch October 2014.    My heart is broken with what she endured,  despite all of our efforts....

If you ever need an ear or sounding board  or whatever,  please feel to reach out.   I am happy to listen,  share any advice....

There are resources.   Even so,  it is heartbreaking and hard.   I am sure that without samba,  it is all the more difficult. 😞.

Thinking of you,   Let me know if I can help.   I have been there....

Petra. (Zoe's). Mom

I used to wonder why people said you have to be an ALZ caregiver to understand.....

I am up early, 05:00, before the carer chores start. My laptop is working hard :) http://davesnewsbasket.blogspot.com/2015/03/blog-list-of-daves-blogs.html

During the day ADW asks endless questions and I Google to find replies.

Because she can't be left by herself I can't jump in the car and go ...our kids are on west coast.

I do a lot of reading on-line and save stuff so I can remember ...
