I loved this story. You made me cry at work though, and that wasn't good! The final scene with Sadie was very touching, but I would love to see a follow up to resolve the Romeo thing and possibly get Jensen that job on the horse breeding program, if you aren't already sick of this 'verse.
I think I might do a follow up to this, in a little while. Since the need to finish it was hovering in the back of my mind for ages I need a break from having it knocking around in my head for a little bit, but I do think I'd like to come back and do something like that for this just because there's stuff like that that didn't get wrapped up completely. There's Romeo and Jensen's other job possibility and Jared and vet school and Jensen's father's response to all of this...yeah, I think I'll have to come back here, lol
Oh damn! I had my beloved 16 year old collie put to sleep when it became impossible for her to work and I could no longer carry her down the stairs. My Lord! That was 23 years ago and her ashes will be buried with me. You wrote Jared's pain and thoughts so well I relived it as if it happened yesterday. So sad! I was crying like a baby.
But I loved your tale and truly loved your boys and their struggles. Beautifully done.
*hug* I don't think losing a beloved dog like that is ever something that stops hurting. I've had two dogs that we've had to have put to sleep, one due to old and one bone cancer like Sadie here(She was a black lab, my beautiful baby girl and the dog I grew up with...my parents got her for me as a tiny puppy when I was five, <3). It's just...it's the hardest thing to decide, and after losing them just takes so much out of you. :/ Writing this, it really took me back to when Duchess died and I definitely ended up crying too. (16 years...that's a remarkable age for a collie! At the vet clinic I used to work at, we didn't see too many collies but I don't remember ever seeing one over 12 and he had severe arthritis. Your girl sounds amazing, <3)
Anyway, thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, ^^
Oh god, you're trying to kill me, aren't you? It's 3am and I can't stop crying and it's all Sadie's fault. That brought up some memories. (One day I'll tell you all about my neighbor who left his dying dog for me to find on his back porch and have put down while he refused to leave his date. Asshole.) Waaaaahhhhh
( ... )
aww, sorry I nearly killed you, T.T If it helps, it nearly killed me too? Writing an animal death is a thousand, thousand times worse than killing off any person. X.X Oh man...I'm so sorry about your neighbors dog, but yeah, you'll have to tell me the story...that sounds so fucking horrible, :( We had some owners at the clinic I work at that put off having their dog put down far too long, then when it came time to have her put down they dropped her off like dropping of the dry cleaning or something...we were all horrified, and every staff member that could make it came to be with her. I can't take it when people do shit like that. -.-
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and found good things in it and...<3 :) heh, I did love writing that scene with drunk Chris and the letter and such, cause I can just see happy, celebrating Christian thinking it deserved another read through and another shot, XD lmao Gah, I love all these boys

*hugs* It's always so, so hard to lose them...I don't think there's any way to ever be ready for it.
