I just wish i had more fotos and videos of Husko...looking at old pictures of Penny (dhe died on 13th February 2003) i realized how much i had forgotten...
I feel guilty when people try to comfort me saying how loving i was even though i did so many things wrong...
In retrospect...Husko was sooo much better than me!
I feel like a burden here sometimes...forcing my problems to people who already have enough of that...
Things at the shelter going wrong added to everything else...
If it closes...120+ dogs will be left in the streets...which in Greece means 120+ poisoned dogs...
...
Other than that...life is peachy in Hollywood & Monte Carlo :eek:
If living happy means being indifferent...how can someone go on if he can't do that...?
Iraklis:
I am trying to get some video together of it and post it. It does not look like this video, it is different more like muscle contractions is how it would look. I will let you know when I get the video up. Hope you and Lemmy are well.

OMG! How sad about the shelter and what will happen to those dogs!
Share the story on Facebook so that it goes around. Alert the media in the US too. You never know who will step up to help.
Iraklis:
I guess I am naive and did not realize people there would poison dogs. How sad that is. We have a lot of no kill shelters that keep dogs forever, but they are having trouble staying open too. Do you think it would help you maybe to volunteer to help at the shelter? I have been where you are and it is not a good place. You are not a burden here ever. This site is not just for happy people, it is for people struggling to come to terms with their life after losing there best friend in the whole world. I will need your support one day when my baby must leave me, so don't think you are burdening anyone. You are intelligent and have information and support to help others on here. I think you need a big hug, and someone to tell you that you matter and make a difference. Are there any support groups where you live for people going thru hard times? You do matter to us on the forum, and you have a lot to offer. Hope you and Lemmy have a good walk today.

Lemmy is just fine and enjoys being the only dog in the house...he always behaved like that anyway...
There are no support groups here...
I can't think of anything that would help...
This isn't a case of something unavoidable...Husko would still live had there not been damage from wrong diagnosis/therapies (and huge amounts of money spent on that ,that would be useful later on for that matter) by the vets and huge mistakes by me...I can't get over the fact that i hurt him during his hours of deepest and biggest need!
Even if i had left ''nature take its course'' in the beginning...he would still be alive!
I cannot say to myself ''I did everything I could and all this was unavoidable...''
I see other people say that and it hurts me knowing I could have given him months/years of a happy life instead of months of struggling...
No one needs advice or help from someone who slapped and grabbed the throat of his dying baby...no one...
Iraklis:
I probably will never change the way you think about yourself. I know you will continue to blame yourself for Husko passing. I do know one thing for sure, you have learned a lot from this and the things you researched, and learned first hand do have a place here. If you were truly a bad person, you would never have rescued Husko from a life on the streets. Being with you was probably the best part of his life. You brought him joy and love, a home and food too eat. You are not a bad person, you just had a weak moment, like all of us do. I am going to need your help finding out how I can stop these tremors in my Tipper. She must go to the hospital on the 23rd to see if her tumor has grown. That is how the forum works, we lean on others when we need support. What you did in a moment of weakness does not define you as a person. I am sure everyone on here has done things they are not proud of. Please stay on the forum, and offer your help when you can. Your Husko would certainly want you to help other dogs!

Hi Iraklis,
Everything Patti is saying is so true and what she's saying is we are all humans and not gods. We all have weaknesses and we all make mistakes, too many of them through our lives. Sometimes it takes a longer time dealing with it but eventually we do have to move on and get on with our lives. Painful but we have to learn to deal with it because the only other option is to our own destruction.
You can offer or dedicate your time, knowledge, courage, experience, compassion... and most of all the love for animals that branched out by taking care of your beloved Husko to others who are in great need of all these and you know there are too many of them around all of us. You can do or offer a lot in Husko's honor and you will be doing all this with your Husko who is and will be in your heart forever and he will be ever so proud of you with a big smile on his face. He will live on through your good work.
Iraklis, you are a wonderful person already and I truly mean it but you will become an even much better human being, you and Husko together. Take care. Song.
Iraklis:
I am hoping you and Lemmy are well. I wish you had someone over there you could talk to. Tipper had really bad tremors last nite. She walked four times yesterday, and maybe it is too much exercise?? Hope to see you back on here helping everyone. Blessings
