If you have time I would like to have a conversation with you about when I can expect the pain to subside. I know it has been 3 years for you. I have your book and I am afraid sometimes to read it. At other times I am glad I did-it has helped. I buried my 15 1/2 year old Chocolate Lab on 1/4/10, and I loved him so much-and he loved me. I struggle most with the fact that I couldn't bear to see him die so I could not go in the room with him at the vet's office. I decided to put Max down on a good day-that is killing me. But, had I waitied a few more days or even a weeek or two I would have felt guilty doing it with blood coming out of both ends-which I had witnessed a few days before I decided to do what I thought was the right thinge. Meta cam medication after 5 years had finally gotten to his stomach plus his hair was coming out in clumps. He would pace back and forth all night long for about the last few months. I am haunted by my decision, but I am feeling a little better each passing day. Thanks Mark. My number is 989-269-7760. Marc Schillinger, Port Austin, MI

Marc,

I doubt Mark Levin will be able to respond to you directly. I am merely a fan of Mark's, but have lost pets myself. You did the right thing. It's normal to have the feelings you are having. Give it some time. Time will heal your wounds. 15 1/2 years is a long life for a Chocolate Lab. You should be at peace knowing you gave him a great life.

I have had MANY bad moments in my life, but none were any worse than the day we had to put the Border Collie I grew up with down. Even knowing it was the right thing to do did not diminish the pain of making the decision and watching it done. Guilt and sadness are feelings that any pet-lover will experience when doing so. It has been over 20yrs since that day and I can still tear up when I recall what happened. I choose to believe that we will be reunited with our pets in the afterlife, just the same as all of our loved ones.

I was moved to hear the caller from last evening who had just lost her dog. Even tougher was hearing Mark add that Griffen is not doing well. Every time Mark has to take off suddenly, I hope that it isn't Griffen.

We are thinking about you and your family, Mark!

Help for Griffin

Postby jonestes » Wed Jun 30, 2010 5:52 pm

Mr. Levin
I have tried a few times to contact you about Griffin.
I believe that I can teach you how to retrain his nervous system quickly.
I have tried this new therapy I developed for a few of my clients with movement disorders and neuropathy with amazing results.
The first and easiest function to correct is proprioception ( the brain's ability to use muscles and tendons to determine gait and balance), AKA standing, walking and running.
It should prove to be an obvious improvement in less than two weeks.
It should also work on animals like it does with people.
Though there is degeneration of his spine, the therapy can give integrity of nerve transmission from both legs.
I don't figure I might be taken seriously but you have nothing to lose and much to gain.
It is a sincere offer, after all, I wouldn't waste your time or embarrass myself senselessly.
I left my number with Mr. Call Screener yesterday, Tuesday 2 June.
Kind regards,
jonestes

I just wanted to say that I am almost finished reading the book. I realize that Sprite has been gone for some time now, but I still want to offer my sympathy for your loss. I lost a Golden. He was such a great dog and I have nine years of great memories of him. He died about 6 weeks after Christmas 1994, and I have always felt guilty because he got into the chocolate I made as a Christmas gift and left under the tree. My son was 11 and he took it very hard. I now have 4 cats and I worry about losing the two older ones, they are 12 years old. I have always tried to make every day count, I have my special time with each one of them. The whole time I was reading I could identify with your feelings about the 'special time' and how the personalities of each animal make their impressions on their human families.

Well, again, I wanted to say how sad I was that you lost Sprite.

Hello Mark,

My name is Joe Ametrano. I am a devoted listener of your radio show for the past 2 years. I want to express my sympathy for the for the loss of your pets. I know all too well what it's like to lose a best friend. I lost my beloved Sheba July 26TH 2007 to the negligence of my veterinarian. I think of her everyday since her passing. The hardest part is
I never kissed her goodbye, nor did I have a choice as the vet made that for me.

I make music videos on You Tube. I'm not here to promote or showboat my work. If you like music, you may want to check out what I do.The real purpose of this e-mail, is a music video I made in memory of your terrible loss of Sprite, Griffen and Pepsi.This particular song is not allowed on You Tube due to copyright issues with this artist.

I hope you whenever you hear this song in the future, I'm also feeling your pain. Click on the link below to play instantly. Again, I'm sorry for your great loss.

What an emotionally written book. I have read only the first two chapters in six months. Being a pet person this hits home even from the very start. I cried during the first chapter and again on the second. I am getting prepared to read the next chapter with the Kleenex next to me. The strength it took for you to write such a book must be commended.

special video for Mark Levin

Postby jason zelda » Fri Aug 19, 2011 2:17 am

Dear Mr. Levin;
After hearing about your 3 beloved dogs, I made a music video tribute for them, It is called "Mark Levin Pets In Paradise"...I wrote a song awhile ago called "The Place Where All The Puppies Go" and uses it as the background song, I pray you will view this short video and if you like it, could you please tell your fans about it so they can also enjoy it. May this song become the anthem for all of us who have lost our beloved pets.

The link for the video is here:

Hello Friends,

I just went to another- joyfull in strength, yet sad in memory- reunion at Ground Zero this weekend.

I guess sometimes--like the events that we HAVE TO go to!! ..MUST go to1...--as AMERICANS!!--so show support and say our Thanks to all those out there that keep Our Nation Free and safe...and those who we honor..and have either died or lived fighting so I can live..or to give prayers and blessings to those who had needlessly died due to those who threaten our freedom through terrorist acts..

I Love Dogs..I love Cats.. Me and my love and love and love take care of stray dogs, but mostly feral/stray/abandoned cats.

After reading Mark's book..it touched me as much as I hope it touched EVERYONE--NO MATTER what "stand" you may take.

And I hope..if Mark ever reads this post too..he would agree with me: That the main phrase should really be,
"...I will ALWAYS and CONTINUE to love animals.." not just those that we miss.

...or those that we may also forget..in our busy lives......"..To the 911 Search and Rescue Dogs!!...OOH-RAH!!.."
