From baby photos (do humans show pictures of their adult children as much as their baby grandkids?) to sudden deaths of parents and slow, incontinent, slipping away of others.

But I'm sure there will come a time where I will be needed. Though I can't say I know what it's like, I think you are allowed to feel all these things. You are allowed to complain and feel resentful. You're human, that's kind of what we do. The guilt we feel for feeling these things is the problem. <br /><br />I'm not feeling very articulate today but I just wanted to say thanks on behalf of all those who are less alone because of what you have written.<br /><br />Best wishes to you and Georgia and Rufus. I think you are just as saintly as those you've read about.Kristinehttp://rescuedinsanity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-24461808694193113062010-11-12T18:12:58.317+11:002010-11-12T18:12:58.317+11:00your love is gratefully received :)

The problems of the old and the young are remarkably similar, though the young less so with illness (thank God).<br />And love comes hand in hand with some of the most dreadfully guilt laden frustration I've ever had to deal with. <br /><br />with love, RChapeuzinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051026485897082957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-38645414024764634652010-11-12T15:56:41.148+11:002010-11-12T15:56:41.148+11:00tight uncomfortable shoes. will remember for futur...tight uncomfortable shoes. will remember for future dark days.<br /><br />xox georgia's human.georgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-20810881331560044502010-11-12T15:48:47.362+11:002010-11-12T15:48:47.362+11:00via email -

I know that it's easier said than done.... but whatever will be, will be with Rufus. He's not gone yet, so live in the now. Stop waiting (willing) for the end, there will be plenty of time to grieve when it's time to grieve.<br /><br />As I've said to you both before, big dogs generally don't live long lives, so Rufus (& your good selves) has definitely gotten his monies worth.<br /><br />A good part of him lasting as long as he has, can be put directly down to the love & care you've both given him.<br /><br />It's good that you can see that this experience has taught you how to better deal with patience & shit.<br /><br />As always our bestest thoughts are with you both, big hugs & best rgds STeve<br /><br />PS. A good means of overcoming depression, try putting on tight uncomfortable shoes, it'll help take your mind of things.uncle STevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-8159397775029068712010-11-12T15:40:06.558+11:002010-11-12T15:40:06.558+11:00dear hero's human, thank you for your kind tho...dear hero's human, thank you for your kind thoughts. <br /><br />though we often make fun of rufus in our blog, he is much loved and has indeed made many fond memories for us. <br /><br />when we lost jordan so suddenly, i was angry that i didn't get a chance to say goodbye. but now that i have some experience of the long goodbye, i think we were lucky with jordan, and jordan was lucky too. <br /><br />the end of any pet's life is hard. i don't think there's any way one can ever be prepared for it.<br /><br />on a good note, hope that you and bubba are doing well and glad to see you posting again! <br /><br />xox, georgia's human.georgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-63144287114399536452010-11-12T13:23:51.409+11:002010-11-12T13:23:51.409+11:00Your letter really touch my heart and makes me hap...Your letter really touch my heart and makes me happy sad... happy to know you're not letting Rufus down when he needs you the most and sad that the situation seems to be caught in a loop of frustration.
