Thank you, Salamander, for sharing that with me. Now I am crying too.
Halla was extremely lucky to find you. You, through your efforts with her and your ability to pay her bills and raise money for her bills is what allowed her the time she had here.
And during that time she knew what it is to be loved.
You will see her again. She is waiting for you.
I know what it means to stand before a dog that you love and comfort it as she is sent home.
That is one of the hardest things in this world.
That is also one of the priceless lessons that we can learn from a dog. They teach us how to say goodbye when goodbye is the last thing we ever want to say, and we do this because we love them, and we do not want them to know pain, so we carry it for them instead, and it is a heavy burden.
Now I must go and get a tissue, thank you again Salamander, and thank you for your love of God’s dogs.

I had gone to take gifts and decent food to Odin’s daddy that was how I found the pups.
Living in polluted squalor.
They *all* had hydrocephalus, to some degree, judging by their defective eyes.
None of them “acted like puppies”, at all.
Several people think they were exposed to toxins in that wretched, gutted junky trailer.
I do not know what ever happened to the other pups.
There were only four left when I visited and I have feeling there were many more who died before I ever saw them.
