I am so very, very sorry and sad for your deep loss. You'll be in my prayers. :O(

[Bobibutu]

Thank you all so much. I have been pushed to reach out to others and have resisted all my life (I'm 64). Now in his final gift to me I am moving through even that limitation. I am humbled.

Here is another response I would share with you all...

Oh, my dear, my heart goes out to you this morning. What a beautiful letter, what a great companion and friend you had for so long. I also took the liberty of sharing your missive with the folks at Laguna Honda Volunteers, the board, Diwata Ico, Linda Acossta and Bill Frazier.
Here is a quote I share with those who have lost someone dear. Baruch certainly qualifies on all levels.
Please let me know about the memorial.
Much love,


Doug


"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exaltation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived... this is to have succeeded."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Well, the monitor is sure fuzzy & "wet" reading your story.

... what a precious gift you had from God & it so hard to lose them when you are connected at him 24/7 like it appears you were.

About a year ago I lost my Oliver.. a bit like yours but NOT world traveler.. a FReeper, nursing home visitor, friend to all.. He traveled the US with me & went everywhere with me in my van. He biked, hiked, kayaked & cross-Skied wiht me. I still cry almost daily for him despite the fact I have two wonderful rescue pups now.

The pain of losing those dear furry friends is hard to imagine, unless you have been there & Bob I think you will find many at FR who are really pet lovers & do understand.


I also had a service for Oliver & it had music, readings, sharing from friends. My friends brought their doggie friends, who were Oliver's friends. I didn't bury him for a long time..It was cold, frozen winter.. I had a touch of comfort to stroke him & look at his perfect body... in natures cold storage

please feel the caring prayers for you across the miles..

[DollyCali]

If you would like the readings I used, I can send them to you. Just FReepmail me your email..or better yet.I will FReepmail you MY email & you can respond.

I am not sure if they are in word or works format..

[Bobibutu]

Thanks Dolly, Any format is ok - I have PCs and Macs and xlators.

Your tag line has given me new found strength.

[toldyou]

Till you meet again.....

Put sound on....

Typing with tears in my eyes.

So very sorry for the loss of your beloved pet.

It is so hard, is it not, to have to make that final decision, even when you know it is the kindest one.

FRegards,

God bless you and your dear Baruch - a real blessing you were to him as well; when you meet again, it will be face to face as children of God, in the City of Light...
