To each and every one of you, thank you.Your condolences have done much to ease the heaviness I have felt since yesterday morning.
This is by no means the first time I've gone through this, and certainly will not be the last. Although this is the first time I have been moved to write about it. It never seems to get any easier. But any grief I feel now pales in comparisom to the joy I felt while for the years my best friend was with me. I also have three feline best friends here to keep me company. They miss him, too. One is seventeen now and I have to prepare myself for when her time comes. If there is one grain of truth to the Rainbow Bridge story, when my time comes, I'm gonna get mobbed! All the more reason to try and make it there.
I knew y'all would understand. ;-)
You’re welcome, and thanks again for sharing your dog’s life with us.
Same here.
Thanks for writing uglybiker. I’m glad you have other pets, I believe it helps.
We love them and lose them and it hurts for a long while, I too am hoping we ‘see them again’. Regards.
Hang tight bud.
Was thinking about how you were holding up earlier today.
My wife and I adopted two wonderful dogs, if you want the name of the organizations for future reference, please contact me via Freepmail.One was a pup of a woman breeding who snapped and decided she couldn't handle another litter.
The other was from a family who lost their home in Rita and dropped her off at a Lab rescue shelter because they couldn't take her :-(
They are great dogs that would have been put down otherwise.
Take care, I felt so bad for you, brought tears to me eyes thinking of my previous losses
Dog are so very special.
i haven’t had a pet die since i was a teenager, so i am dreading it and stories like your’s just break my heart. I had a jack russell terrier who bit the little girl across the street and so i had to get rid of him, that was about 5-6 years back. even though it was giving him to someone that i knew and trusted, i bawled my head off for about a week or two. I currently have two cavalier king charles spaniels, a 4 year old and an 8 mo. old and i can’t even envision life without them, but i know, like you, it will happen to me too.
Sucks.
Prayers for you and Buddy.
We also lost Leo, three years ago. We haven’t gotten another cat as we have been too busy with other things to focus on that.
Think about this.
I am a pre-trib pre-millenialist Christian. That is, I believe GOd will take His people out of the world before he allows the Tribulation of seven years to take place. After that occurs, He will return to earth with us and we will establish His 1000 year kingdom on earth.
Having said that, I have had thoughts and even dreams of my dogs living through that horrible time, but since they are animals, and the tribulation is God’s wrath against man, they will survive. I have had dreams of my return where Stink Pot, GG, and Peewee see me coming in the clouds and crawl out from some long abandoned shed, tails wagging, and licking my face as if to say, “We missed you! We are so glad you are back.”

You are a beautiful and expressive writer. I’m so sorry for your loss, but I knoow you will be ready to share your heart with another desrving furry companion.
