"This is the...May Foxy rest in peace :'( <br /><br />"This is the first day of the rest of my life." .. exactly the sentiment I felt when my dog passed away.. the effects were even more magnified. He passed away at the age of 17 yrs, 2 months.. we were extremely grateful for that life span.. and I was also thoroughly conscious of the fact that more than half of my life had been spent in his presence at that time.. I just didn't know how it would pan out from "then" onwards .. the first day of the rest of my life was truly how I felt :'(<br /><br />The burial was another absolutely traumatic experience. In retrospect I regret that we hadn't researched it enough before the time came. Because to get buried with dignity and have that spot safe forever is the least one can do. Unfortunately in Sanjay Gandhi's animal care centre in Hari nagar, that is not the case. And apparently the crematorium service was stopped just a year or two before that time.<br /><br />Till date I remember those last moments, the burial and everything around it. My sister and I saved some of his locks. To people who don't have a pet this seems ridiculous, but to those who do, they understand this is the last bit of contact forever.<br /><br />I thought I would write about it on my blog but the very thought of the entire event would choke me. It was at least 2yrs before I could converse normally without choking when talking abt my pet. And I haven't blogged till date.Twilight Fairyhttp://www.priyankasachar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-58970968421589579632012-07-14T11:44:55.215+05:302012-07-14T11:44:55.215+05:30Hi Jai

Reading through the Playful acts that Foxy induldged in, and the gaze of her eyes in the pics , I am only more convinced of my rather philosiphical take on my love with my dog - Dont let their body or death distract you. Stay in love and enjoy their beauty. Play host to another one and you'll get Foxy back - maybe in different form, color, temprament etc but you'll know its her and she'll recognise you too. <br />This might be true in the larger context of love and punar janam etc a-la bollywood but its easier translated in context of pets as their world has no shades of politics and questionable motives. <br />Here's what i had written around the time I was last in situation similar to yours http://ranjanx.blogspot.co.uk/2007/08/ranzish-hi-sahi.htmlRanjanxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634173562234395844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-75653713099152084852012-07-09T15:45:27.333+05:302012-07-09T15:45:27.333+05:30So very sorry.

It will be very difficult for us to part ways with her, even as we are resigned to doing it at some point in the not too distant future. And we battled with the same dilemmas regarding putting her down vs keeping her alive through onerous (to her) means. Yeah, it is very emotionally harrowing to have to decide quality of life issues for one's pet. Can relate to your grief and sense of loss. Hope she is in a better place.saperahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553004590976656655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-32542040272130493762012-06-29T18:14:07.952+05:302012-06-29T18:14:07.952+05:30Kindly accept my heartfelt condolences.

I cannot forget that last day, when he was panting and crying of pain and my husband and I were comforting him. He could not swallow a drop of water but made great efforts to eat half a biscuit that I offered. I did not stay at the spot to see him breath his last. I cannot pardon myself for having done that, though it was to relieve him of his pain. After him, we are unable to live without pets - dogs or cats! We never compare evil men to animals, because animals are holy and selfless. There are no evil animals. This was taught to us by all the pets that we had and still have. The love that we have for pets can never be explained or compared with the love that we have for our children or others. It is some special bondage, which one can understand only if one experiences.SAHYOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17341243626304353885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-42625869054014155382012-06-29T14:10:01.233+05:302012-06-29T14:10:01.233+05:30My deepest condolences.My deepest condolences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-38966237442671197242012-06-29T13:39:09.470+05:302012-06-29T13:39:09.470+05:30I am so sorry, Jaı.I am so sorry, Jaı.Szerelemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911190230851186924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-22223095610447216072012-06-29T13:11:52.263+05:302012-06-29T13:11:52.263+05:30My condolences.
