I think it would be easier for human being to grieve for the animals understanding that they too are apart the same circle of life, that they too can have someone waiting for them on the other side.<br /><br />NathalieWampumBlueRavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953087004284515987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-34394205452107679682010-09-10T17:54:07.365-04:002010-09-10T17:54:07.365-04:00I think you ask a great question I sat with this a...I think you ask a great question I sat with this and I think it comes down to knowing that the animal we hunt feeds our family. I have trouble I think when I have an emotional connection to someone or a pet but I am learning also now to hold that moment sacred when the animal gives its life. I have never shot an animal but I admit I am happy when C brings a moose or deer home so we can cut and wrap the meat for our freezer knowing my family can be fed. I do think hunting for me now if I were to shoot an animal would affect me I know I have a feeling of sadness for the animal but I thank creator for the gift of his life. I also am learning that death is not the end which is comforting but there still is saddness for me that feeling I guess is what I have discomfort and find hard to deal with.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822760763130807297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-75197824140607279852010-09-09T21:11:12.764-04:002010-09-09T21:11:12.764-04:00Michelle,

I love reading how "my" blog entries bring up memories, emotions and insights in your World.<br /><br />LISALisa F.

She was such a gentle sweet dog when we visited she seemed to talk to you with her eyes. I am happy to know that Gloosecap is there to bring them home. Death can be beautiful its that transistion to something new that I am learning to appreciate and see wonder in. I think of all the animals my kids seem to bring home to us and how they have taught me patience lol I think my Daughter Harmony would open an SPCA in your yard if she was allowed. Its hard on the kids when we lose a pet but the story of Glooscap has helped them feel better thank you.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822760763130807297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-78527403881215949202010-09-09T08:02:48.030-04:002010-09-09T08:02:48.030-04:00Hi :)

Because at the time I was talking about S and her dying. (even though she is still going through the process).<br />I was wondering to myself, where is this Glooscap place? lol<br />I had no idea what she was talking about, but I said I would wait, maybe it would make sense later. <br />Now it does. <br />Thanks for sharing this Lisa. <br />I have never met Lucky but I feel as If she has touched me in some ways through your words. <br /><br /><br />EmEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130377828747504418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-78845778535838562162010-09-05T22:31:07.800-04:002010-09-05T22:31:07.800-04:00Thank you Lisa for sharing your experience with us...Thank you Lisa for sharing your experience with us.

He was a bit of a heinz 57....you could see a mix of alsatian and labrador present.<br />I am really pleased to hear about Glooscap. I have always known my Lucky was around from time to time and felt his presence within one of our newest members of the family Ned, a little Jack Russell. He is our loveable rogue as was Lucky. So many similarities although breeds apart. <br />Thank you for the dream of Glooscap. <br />Much Love to you all<br />Thank You<br />LeanneLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07624557781876903457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-5781557948676736322010-09-05T17:22:13.914-04:002010-09-05T17:22:13.914-04:00Lisa, I do understand about contracts and agreemen...Lisa, I do understand about contracts and agreements with our animal friends. Several years ago we had a cat named Rainbow. She was a rescue (as most of our animals have been), and she sort of became our son's surrogate Mom. We nicknamed her Calico Mom and sang songs to her.."Calico Mom won't you come out tonight...and dance by the light of the moon...) Around Christmas time one year, as we were hustling around getting things ready, we noticed that 'Bo wasn't eating. We took her to the Vet. The Vet was angry with us because he couldn't understand how attentive pet owners could let an animal suffer. We really hadn't seen the problem until it was too late, and we felt horrible. I went to visit 'Bo at the Vet...she was eating better and looked livlier...but when she looked into my eyes, I just felt her say that she wanted to go. She was tired and she wanted to go. The Vet left me alone with 'Bo and the assistant, and I got down on my knees, looked her in the eyes, and with my hands on her body told her it was okay. If she wanted to go, she could go; that we loved her alot, and that we would take care of "the boy" for her. The next morning, the Vet called to say she had passed. Others of our cats have died at home, two of them in my husband's arms. Each time there has been a death, our first cat, "Zonker" would appear to my husband in a Dream, and would walk away with the sick cat. All of the cats, some creamated remains, and one "intact" are buried near a small lake on my brother-in-law's property. It's a beautiful place.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736445583769053450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-72585791993229533862010-09-05T12:50:37.041-04:002010-09-05T12:50:37.041-04:00I always read your posting but this one touched me...I always read your posting but this one touched me very much.<br /><br />love<br /><br />LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238812795680762534noreply@blogger.com
