IF I ever have a dog of my own I hope that it will be as good of a dog as Kallie was.

Kallie
Those who know me well know that I am not generally an animal person. The cons out weigh the pros by far to me. But today our dog Kallie was put to sleep. Kallie was a great dog. She obeyed really well. She liked the cats. She was a great protector and she was scared of little kids which always make me laugh. She loved to play Frisbee with her boys (my brothers) We had Kallie for a very long time. She was old and hurting and it was time. I am surprised at how emotional I am over this. I don't know what happens to animals after they die but I would hope that she is now free from her pain and suffering and is running somewhere with a Frisbee in her mouth waiting for someone to tell her to 'drop it'.
IF I ever have a dog of my own I hope that it will be as good of a dog as Kallie was.

You know, Jake drove me up a wall pretty much most of my life. He was always running off at the most inconvenient of times, chewing up my crap, and dragging his butthole on the floor, but when my dad had to put him to sleep it was like losing a family member. I know it sounds silly, but I truly believe that they become a part of your family and that they remain there forever. I hope that Jake is there when I get to the other side. Dragging his bottom and all! I'm sorry that you guys are going to miss Kallie. She was a good dog.
oh, I'm sorry Denae! That's sad. I remember Kallie I think, just a bit. Dogs are dogs, but they're also good friends.
They go to Heaven. I saw the movie about it. Seriously, though, they do. I'm pretty sure if I look hard enough I could find a Joseph Smith quote about it.
I am so sorry to hear that. Sometimes it is just time. I think it is the humane thing to do, although thankfully I have never had to do it myself. Animals have a strange way of affecting us.
Oh so sad!! I remember when our dog "Whinnie" was put to sleep after getting kicked by a horse. It was awful and I cried for hours. It was the same night 90210 premiered (the original not the cheap spin off they have playing now) and I missed it cause I was upset and then I was upset about THAT.
Just remember all dogs go to heaven!
I'm sorry about Kallie...it's so hard, because our pets really do become family. This is long, but my vet sent this to me right after Milo passed away and I loved it.
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water, and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who have been maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.
But there is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
From "The Rainbow Bridge," by Paul C. Daum
Sorry, it's hard, we had to put Junior (Teguns dad) down almost 3 years ago, that's how we got Abby... anyway it's hard to do. Sometimes it's the only choice you have. Try to think of her pain free and happy.
Oh! I'm sorry about your dog...and sorry it took me so darn long to read your post!
Hope you are okay....I'm sure she loved you guys as much as you loved her. I believe there is a place in heaven for all of us...animals included.
