Thank you



Thank you to all of you, so very many wonderful peeps and furries, who paid honor to Phantom by your touching comments and private emails and posts.  I promise I will respond to all the emails as soon as I can.  I will do a proper tribute to him next week when I have time to process what just happened.  It is a very busy  time here with the Easter holiday and I want to do things the right way for him.  I do want to give special thanks to Ann of Zoolatry for the beautiful Forever Phantom badge in yesterday's post and for the collage below.  Ann is ALWAYS there when her wonderful talents are needed.  She also found time to modify the new header she made for us to include the special heart for Phantom.   She is one very special friend - everyone should be so lucky to have that kind of caring friend.






I know many of you are wondering what happened to bring things to such a sudden end.  Phantom has been struggling for a long time. He was my miracle dog because he never should have survived the massive surgery he had on his chest back in 2009.  That was the start of his cancer woes.  But he was a trouper and kept on going.  

Yesterday's earlier post was a bit of an intentional precursor to what was to come. Both Phantom and I did a lot of "just thinking" all day. Some decisions are just so tough.  

Over the past few weeks, I noticed a marked decline in his level of activity and overall mobility.  But those eyes were still sparkling, he was still eating "Phantom-style", his tail, well, it wagged the best it could, and he still wanted to go for his very short walk - we knew we were walking a fine line as to knowing what was best for Phantom.  On Wednesday his back end was caving quite a bit if he stood still for any more than a few minutes.  He had been suffering from proprioceptive deficiency for a while now.  The vet explained to me that this was why he dragged his back legs.  He really wasn't always sure where his feet were and if he was placing them correctly.  The vet checked him over thoroughly when he made his twice a week tail bandage change.  Nothing new or notable was obvious on Wednesday morning when Dr. B. checked him over.  Wednesday night a lot changed. Once he was lying down, he could not get his back legs up without help.  His right leg seemed to be very stiff and basically useless.  Our wonderful vet Dr. B. was not in on Thursday or Friday of this week, but another one that I have a lot of confidence in was going to see him Thursday morning.  Well, Phantom was always the one to do things his own way - Thursday morning he was able to get himself up and moving.  But by noon I noticed that his right leg had some swelling near the lower part.  I talked to the vet again and we agreed to give him the day and have him checked out on Friday.  I was pretty sure the time had come, but I had the grandkids all day Thursday and I really didn't want to have them see me leave with Phantom and then return in the condition I knew I would be in.  They all knew that Phantom's days were numbered, but I wanted to protect them. Thursday night Phantom went to his crate after dinner.  He had been limping more and the swelling had progressed.  About 15 minutes later I could hear him struggling to get up.  We use the Varikennel style crates so I could not get at him easily to help raise him.  While my husband and I rushed to unscrew and remove the top of the crate, he began to cry.  Phantom was so stoic, he never complained or cried, so hearing his moans told me he was in deep pain.  I called the vet - who fortunately was open until 8:00 and rushed him over.  

I can't say enough about my vet clinic staff. Four staff members were on the sidewalk as I pulled in so they could help me.  Everyone wanted to be a part of his care.  They carried him inside and examined him.  Without doing any x-rays, she was pretty confident that his leg had multiple breaks in the bones.  How?  We will never know for sure. He did not fall.  He did not have any sort of accident.  The vet's guess is that he may have put pressure on the leg with his paw turned under, not realizing what he was doing with his leg,.  At 16 and four months, his bones were probably pretty brittle. The other option is that he had bone cancer in his leg. That wouldn't be a surprise given the many tumors he had.  In the end, the what and why and how don't matter.  I vowed a long time ago that Phantom would not suffer if I could help it.  The only thing to do was to give him his freedom.  I knew it was coming for a long time, but that doesn't make it any easier, as most of you know from your own experience.  The vet made the whole process very easy, and Phantom, true to his quiet and brave and gentle nature, just went to sleep quietly, calmly, and peacefully.  In many ways I do feel relief, but the heart aches tremendously. It has been broken too many times with the passing of my beloved Dakota, Thunder, and now Phantom.  Time heals a broken heart, but how I wish it didn't have to break. 

I don't know how you all feel about what happens when your beloved pet is gone.  But I do believe Phantom sent me that "sign" this morning that all is well.  I was out doing my shopping for Easter dinner and had one item, Sunny D strawberry orange drink, that the grandkids all love.  The store I had gone to did not have any.  I was really pressed for time, but I decided to make one more try at another store.  I almost burst into tears as I walked into the store and heard the song they were playing over the speakers:  "Wind Beneath My Wings".  For some reason I have always associated that song with Phantom - he truly was my hero in so many ways.  I believe he may have had something to do with my stopping at this store today.

Please give all your furries a hug and tell them how much they are loved.

  2. Kathie...my goodness my goodness I'm nearly speechless. Your post is beautiful and oh the love is flowing in each word. Each pet is special in his/her own way. You love them all the same; however, something is different. I do believe Phantom had been with you so long you were soul mates.
    I do so agree about the 'Wind beneath my Wings' being Phantom's song and you were meant to hear it. I DO BELIEVE in SIGNS!! He surely lifted all of blogville up with his courage and gentle soul. Good Friday is a fitting time for Phantom to make his final trip across the bridge.
    With love Cecilia and Madi

  4. As you well have guessed we read this with leaky eyes. What a lovely song to associate with your dear boy. After Ancient Pip's passing mine was Let's Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins. Why lordy knows but it kind of summed up things. Thinking of you and like us we pray we timed it just right and we know like you we did. Letting go is the kindest but hardest thing.
    Best wishes Molly
    Hugs from across the pond.

  5. Kathie thank you for sharing these words with us today, of course my eyes are full of tears, but of course we are each others family so why wouldn't they be. You were the best mom to phantom always trying to find out a better way for him to feel better. I always believe in signs also, and I believe if we are open to them, the ones we lose, two and four legged always lets us know when we need that extra boost ....I say this all the time, cos I read it somewhere, and it sticks in my mind, "with great love comes great grief." We all let go in our own way, and I am sure phantom is celebrating his way right across the bridge. Hugs tight from all of us...Stella Rose, Momma, Gussie and Mags...

  8. It's a funny thing, falling in love with a dog I've never met but I love Phantom. You always do such a good job letting us know about their personalities and the special qualities they have. Of course, the beautiful pictures and those eyes. He will be missed very much. I'm so sorry your heart is broken again. Thank you for being such a great Mom to Phantom.

  9. Dear Kathie,
    I know that you wrote this especially for US... to help US come to grips with the loss of our dear Phantom. It was beautiful and it DOES help. I hope that it does the same for YOU... I also believe in Signs and am SURE that you were SENT to that store at JUST the RIGHT MOMENT...
    The HEART on the header is just right. Ann has such good taste and is SUCH a fabulous friend.
    I wish that we could have had many more years with Phantom... but know that he appreciates the PURE Love that you showed him... you allowed him to Stay as long as he could.. and then gave him the release that he deserved.
    BLESS YOU for that Last Proof of your LOVE for Phantom.

  12. Kathie, I am so sorry! I know you made the right decision - the love-filled decision - for Phantom. What a precious, special boy. He reminds me so very much of Davy - that sweet face, those deep blue eyes. He is whole now, strong, and pain-free. Thank you for letting us all get to know him a little bit. I'm so sorry for the pain you are going through. I know it's not easy.
    HUGS!

  13. I'm so sorry for your loss. I saw Ann's email this morning with the beautiful blue eyed Phantom and I've come to pay my respects.
    Having lost my beloved cat Tommie a month ago, I now realize how comforting the support and sympathy of the pet blogging community can be.
    May sweet memories of young and healthy Phantom bring you peace.

  15. Thank you, Kathie, for taking the time to share this with us. We all had so much admiration for Phantom and, from this faraway land, loved him. He was a lucky boy to have lived his life by your side, and what a wonderful life it was. Any and all dogs would wish for it with all their hearts.

  18. The tears are flowing once again and I'm positive that song was a sign from Phantom. He was loved here and around the world as if he was a member of our families too. I understand the heartbreak all too well but it can never take away the wonderful memories of Phantom. My thoughts are with you.

  19. We're so sorry for your pain. It does hurt so much when we lose someone so very dear. But we're so happy that you had all those wonderful, love-filled years with such a truly fine gentleman. The only comforts are the many, many good memories and the sure knowledge we will be reunited in time with those we love so much. Hugs to Ciara & Lightning, who will mourn in their way as much as you will. And hugs to you and the rest of the 2-leggers, too.

  21. Oh Kathie, tears are streaming as I read this. Please know I am sending hugs your way...he was so brave and an inspirational to all. I know that he did indeed let you know it was his time to go...16 years and 4 months...he stayed for as long as he could...a testimony to his love and determination. It is the time we all know eventually comes, but is so dreaded. My heart breaks for your loss, but knows he is now where he needs to be, and is now pain and cancer free. His loving parting gift...sending you his song. xox

  26. I am so sorry about Phantom. Losing a furkid is never easy, but I think he did send you a sign, that all is well, that you done good by him, that he'll be waiting for you and watching over you in the meantime. *hugs*

  27. You and Phantom had been together for so long and had gone through so much together. Your words ooze the love that you feel for him. I understand the conflicted feelings of relief that the pain is over but heartbreak that he is gone. That is a sign of just how much you loved him.

    The collage is gorgeous, and I adore seeing the photos of from Phantom's earlier years.

    Thank you for writing these words. It is so true that, even when you know that it's going to happen soon, saying goodbye to a dog as loved as Phantom is completely heart-breaking. Please know that I, and many others from Blogville, are thinking of you and wishing you peace.

  29. Phantom has been on my mind all day today. I know how much your heart is hurting as we went through the very same thing exactly one month ago today. Bailey was just about the same age as Phantom. The hole in our hearts is always there. Keep all the wonderful memories safe in your heart because they'll help you through the hard times ahead.

  31. Dear Kathie, we are stopping by to let you know how much we have been thinking of you and Phantom. He was such a sweet boy and it is so very hard to let go. I believe in signs and I do agree that Phantom led you to that store today to hear "your" song. May Phantom rest in peace now and run with the angels. My Big Guy will be there guiding him. Through my tears, I am sending love and hugs to you all.

I am sorry for not emailing you personally but I hadn't heard from you in a while, not over Christmas either, and I don't know, just wasn't sure about it. I will email you soon. Thank you for sharing that heart wrenching story, I find it easier to come to terms with knowing what happened. I really feel for you having to go through that. (And for dear Phantom too... How lucky he is you were there to give him what he needed.)

  46. Oh Kathie, that was so kind of you to let us know what happened to Phantom at the end. You gave Phantom such a huge gift to let him go. He certainly was a strong boy through all that he had to go through and he was able to do that because you were right there for him. So I join everyone else with tears just flowing. Big hugs to you and Joe and Smoke send their very best Hee Haws.

  53. Kathie, you dear woman and your husband as well. Phantom was such a trooper. I know some say time heals a broken heart...but I cannot reassure you in that. My heart broke tragically when I lost each of my three Sibes...Rosie in July '93, Mischa in September '93 and Crusty in Feb '94. And I still have a small part of my heart that never quite healed. My Sibes' will always have that special place. We love Savvy and Sage dearly...and all the cats we had after our Sibes. But the Sibes will remain forever and always The Kids as all our friends, and us, called them. My thoughts are with you this holiday

  54. Hi, Kathie. I heard the news from Ann. Phantom has had a long and rewarding life. He was blessed with a mom like you and a pack that's full of energy and adventurous mischief. I am sure he wags his tail across the rainbow bridge without those broken bones. Honestly, I think he would have preferred having Jell-o feet anyway. That's so he could slither his way towards your treat jar.

    God bless your soul for taking care of him for so long, and finally giving the freedom at the right time.

    Huggies and Cheese,

    Haopee and the Pack

  55. Dear Kathie, When I saw the title of your blog post, I knew it would not be good news. You gave him such loving and tender care in these final times, and the sound of his whimpers had to be so heartwrenching for you. Sending you love to help you deal with what has happened. As you say, we know from our sad experiences how hard it is. Just know the picture of Phantom with his endearing blue eyes and sweet look is forever engraved on so many of our hearts.

  59. OMG, I was so shocked to read this post today! Phantom was always my favorite out of your group of Sibes. I'm not sure why, but it was just something about those beautiful blue eyes. I know deep in my heart that his time was limited, but this is still such a shock!

    I'm so so sorry for your loss! Phantom was so well loved and cared for. You gave him a wonderful life. This post was a lovely tribute to him

    I'd like to do a tribute of my own for him with Monday's post. May I "borrow" a few pictures of him for my blog?

Phantom was just incredible, I loved him so much, seeing him on the blog always made me smile, hearing about his day was always nice and seeing all the woos in photos together made my heart melt, Phantom was such a handsome blue eyes beautiful boy, I am so sad to hear of his passing and you made the right decision, you filled his life with love from beginning to end and now he is at the rainbow bridge looking down on you all, with sparkling blue Angel wings, running free and happy with no pain, playing with Thunder and Dakota, all my love for you, your family and the Woos at this hard time, prayers for you and love from Momma Jemma and Frank, as an honorary Woo we feel like we have lost a brother too!

  65. Oh, Kathie, you are a wise one. I love what you wrote about time healing a broken heart, but the you wish it didn't have to break. It does, we all know that. I hope that you are able to take some solace in the fact that Phantom was up there in age for his breed. I did with Linguini, and it helped me tremendously. I also like to think of all our beloved pets, Phantom, Dakota, Thunder, Twinkie, Linguini, Nowood, and sooo many others, having a pawrty, jumping around… pain free, worry free, healthy and happy for eternity. I'm not sure where that place is exactly, but maybe it's in our hearts or our thoughts or our blogs. That's my happy place. I get to visit them all.
    I'm hugging all my furries, in Phantom's and your honor. I wish for your pain to dissipate fast. My thought are with you. Isabelle (Twinkie's mom)

  69. Kathie, I knew last week that you had set your Phantom free, but just now seeing this update. Tears are making their way down my cheeks; it is just so darn hard to let them go. However, I truly believe when it is their time, they say thank you for loving them enough to let them go. I know Phantom loved you so very much, it is so evident and he is thankful that you loved him so much that you didn't make him suffer. Sending all my love to you.

It's never easy to set our loved ones free no matter how prepared you are. My heart ache for you...

  73. Dear Kathie,
    I wasn't active for so long and I missed this terrible news.I read it only today and I feel so sorry for you, for your tremendous loss! We miss him very much and I was really shocked as I saw he was gone. Truly he had a very long and doubtless wonderful life with your family. He was a very lucky dog. And you were lucky to have had him on your side for so many amazing years. The hole he left must be huge, the pain you feel must be terrible, the love he left with you is indescribable.
    We send you all our love and wish you strength. Many months has gone since that day, but I think it's not far away enough.
    He'll be always in our hearts
