Greetings friends, thank you so much for all of your kind emails from our post yesterday. And, a big thank you to Brind'Amour for Honey's site award! We appreciate all of you so much!
We received some very heart-breaking news this morning from Honey's vet. The radiologist confirmed that her body has been attacked by cancer, and she is now at an advanced stage. We are so sad, as she has been our companion for many years. We are keeping her comfortable, and hope that she will hang out with us a little longer to enjoy some of her and our good friends, and family.
My husband had Honey as a puppy, and as soon as he picked her up, they did a cross country road trip together. Ever since then, Honey has done many wonderful trips. I met Dave and Honey in 2003, and we have been fortunate enough to enjoy lots of trips to beautiful places. A photo of me with Honey yesterday and below is the first road trip I did, with Dave and Honey just after meeting them......
We explored the Grand Canyon....
Bishop, California.....Eastern Sierras
Campground below the Eastern Sierras.....
Camping in Zion National Park......
Honey is a great traveler!Today, Honey and I will visit some nice parkies in our area. She still has a bit of an appetite, and the vet has given us some medications that should keep her pain low, and hopefully she may perk up a bit.
Aw! This is very sad for us!
ohhwww

So sorry about Honey. She is part of your family and your grief is understandable. Hoping you will have some more time with her to do some things she really likes. Sending more Lhasa karma your way to help Honey feel better:) Tank
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking for you - I am so very sorry. We said today in your earlier post to take it a day at a time and that would still hold. Make sure the end of Honey's life is as special and as filled with memories as the rest of her life.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourselves and Honey - we are thinking of you. xxxx
So sorry it is not better news :'-( I hope that she will hang on as long as possible. Clearly she has been a wonderful companion and a lucky girl up to now. Hang in there. My thoughts are with you all.

We are so sad to learn of your news. Please know that you, your husband and Honey are in our hearts and prayers. Though it is of little comfort, you have to know that you have given Honey a wonderful life and that you will be strong enough to let her go when she begins to suffer. It is always so hard to let go of someone who has been a part of your life in so many ways, but the fact that your paths crossed and you walked together for a time is a gift. You are richer for having had Honey and she has been blessed to have had you in her life.
ReplyDeleteLove, Dozer, Dottie and Cooper Edwards

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog. I came over from Khyra's Khorner and am using my mom's account to post here. I wish there was something we all could do to make Honey all better. It is so hard to lose a good friend. They always take a part of your heart when they go away. I hope Honey's remaining days are truly golden. Looking at the pictures on your blog, I see your life has been one great adventure after another. May those memories comfort you all.

Dear Honey,
ReplyDeleteWe are so very happy that you have such kind and loving humans to share your life with. Getting old is not easy, wisdom doesn't relieve the pain. Human kindness above all else makes the pain beareable, as well as the wonderful loving memories of showing your humans the meaning of life.
Enjoy your time on this earth with your humans, you will see them again and will be able to show them a new part of life.
Peace to you my friend, Tessa and her family

Honey and family,
ReplyDeleteRobert, Harry and I were laying in bed this morning checking out our favorite blogs. Robert says, "I love Honey she is my favorite, let's see what she is up to." So off we go and see the heartbreaking news.
We were shocked and can only imagine your sadness. We cried with you this morning, if Harry could join us with tears he would.
Thank you for sharing all of the lovely pieces of Honey's travels and especially the beautiful bond the three of you will always share.
Lovingly,
Robert, Dena and Harry
