    Default sad news....

    Have gone through this many times and know what your going through. Never easy and to me worse than loosing a blood relative. I now will no longer get another one but enjoy others that stay with me (daughters dogs ) but they go home when she gets back from her travels. Again sorry to hear....

    I read somewhere that the only thing wrong with dogs is that they don't live long enough. They give us way more than we ever give them.

    Brent,
    I am sorry to hear of his passing.
    They fill our hearts with so much love when they're here...
    And they leave such a terrible hole in them when they have to leave.

    I hope that you can find solace in the fact that he'll be waiting by the Rainbow Bridge for you

    Every time that I read that poem: I end up getting a bit of sand In my eyes...

    Their lives on earth are so short, it's never easy to lose a furkid. We've had several pass in and out of our pack. It tugs at my heart when we see them get grey and slow down, knowing their time is soon.

    I can't read Rainbow Bridge without tearing up.

    Default So sorry

    Losing a best friend is horrible! I’m sorry for your loss. I’m still grieving over my own loss. When the time comes, get another. Seems like the only cure!

    RE: Rainbow Bridge: I have it printed out and it sits framed on one of my bookcases in the office. I cannot read it without tearing up either. It brings back memories of my friends who are waiting there.

    Default I've felt your pain too....

    And; I'm trying to get ready for it again. The graying chin, the graying eye brows and the cloudy looking eyes that still have that faint sparkle. Although deafness slowly over comes, we still communicate by touching and with hand signals and body posture. The occasional looks my friend gives me says he knows something is slowly overtaking him, although he doesn't understand just what it is, he seems to be turning to me for help as he's always done since he was puppy. But I can't help him, and I know he's wondering why, and I'm wondering why and how this all fits into GOD's plans.

    You've got me "typing through tears" again...
    It's His plan that we care for them, and love them...
    When that worst moment that you dread most arrives: please make the passing as comfortable as you possibly can for him, and have him surrounded by his Family.

    By his unconditional love for you: he has earned that..

    Default Well said Bob

    One thing that does make me feel better is that when the time came, we did what was best for him. As bob said, they all deserve that. No matter how difficult it was to hold him in my lap and watch him go, I know he was ready and was with his family when he went peacefully.

    I wouldnt trade any of it.
