That is Sabah. When I left the US I left him with my sister. I knew I couldn't give him a good life with how hectic immigration is. For many years he has been happy and loved by my sister's kids and my sister herself. Today he was put to sleep because of cancer. He is a good boy, and I'm sorry I couldn't be there for him. I'll miss you Sabah, thank you so much for looking after my niece, nephew, and sister all these years.
I'm a little more messed up by this than I thought I'd be.
@Mrfunkedude Thank you, I appreciate it. I gave him to my sister because she had kids and they wanted a dog. I think it was the best for both of us.
I still have this feeling like I abandoned him, or something, that's just all of a sudden there- but I know I did what was right for Sabah. He had almost a decade of life with kids, and a yard, and a loving family. He was such a good dog, and I'll miss him, even if I said goodbye years ago.
@Surasanji @Mrfunkedude an old friend has gone and that’s always hard.
@Surasanji That's understandable. He'll always be your good boy. Letting him be loved by kids though is such a gift. He must have had the best life. He looks like an amazing dog:) Thank you for sharing the pictures.
@Nyoei I know in my heart that giving him up was the right choice for him, and that it would have been selfish to keep him given how my life turned out the first several years I lived here.
But, that doesn't change the fact I'll miss him. He was a good dog, and he took care of my sister and her family.
@Surasanji The hardest part of owning a dog is knowing that it's for a very short time. I've lost several. It's never easy. My heart goes out to you and yours.
