Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Thank you all so very very much
| You guys are just the best ever! I am just overwhelmed by first the fact that Jack is gone and also by the compassion and caring each one of you exhibit. I was sitting on my back deck earlier tonight and I swear, I saw Jack's smiling face in the clouds. My Forever Dog... Also, something rather odd. While Jack was laid out on the table and I had already said my goodbyes, (honestly, I had to pull myself away because I didnt' want to leave him), the vet said, we have a great 3 legged puppy here that was hit by a car and we had to amputate her back leg but she is a great dog, do you want to see her? I said, what the heck, sure bring her out. She was more yellow lab, which I've always stayed away from because they are too hyper for my life style. ANYWAY, she brought the dog out and I petted her and all that stuff. All the while thinking, NO NO NO I want a whole, healthy Golden like Jack. NO NO NO don't even push this dog off on me. I don't want to even look at this dog, I don't want a handicapped dog. So I left and never gave that dog another thought...............until tonight. What a wonderful statement that dog, IF PROPERLY TRAINED, could make to the world and to our wounded veterans and all those other people who have lost limbs. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could get her certified to be a therapy dog and she could be a beacon to the world" Yep, I'm crackers,,,,,,,,,,,,always thinking about what ifs....I miss my Jack, my forever dog...........thanks ya'll Mary |

| Mary, you are not crackers, you have a good heart! Nothing wrong with that. Go for it, what a wonderful thought, a handicapped therapy dog. I have had a few therapy dogs and it is a wonderful experience. Either way, keep us posted! Best wishes, Brigitte |

| Mary, you sound like you have a lot of love to give and an excitement for life. I'm sure whatever decision you make will be a good one. Life does go on... Blessings, Cindi |

| Mary So are you going back to rescue the yellow lab? I think it is meant to be. You need her and she needs you perhaps you vet will let you foster her with the option to adopt. Rescuing another dog would be a wonderful way to honor Jack. Cheryl & Ginger |
