Corvette,Rolex,Buisness,Getting what you want!I have it and do it,but on Sunday Dec.18th I was taught the lesson of my life.I watched the passing of a loyal humble friend,a dog.Someone who never asked anything of me,he just wanted to be my friend.The lesson he taught was never take for granted those who love you or the time you have with them.
Thats sad to hear. I was watching a television show last night and they showed some people with their 14 year old dog. The dog was blind and didnt get around very well but it was still a loyal, happy dog. It made me think about my dog, he is only 3 years old but I know that one day he will be in poor health. Thats not a day that I look forward to.
I have three dogs....they are part of our family. I know some aren't into pets, but they do really become part of the family. I can't stand the thought of losing them.
my condolences to you and your family. I know the loss is tough, I've been there myself more than once, but dont forget that your pet lived a great and happy life. There are many animals that are mistreated and abused, and your pet was very lucky to live the life that he had. All in all, that's all we can hope for for our friends, family, and ourselves. get out there and make the best and happiest life you can ( I know the vette helps! )
My dog just turned 10 yrs old on the 17th of Dec. I already worry about life without her. The greatest lesson I have learned from my dog is unconditional love. No matter what sort of day I have, my dog is there to greet me as if I am the greatest person in the world.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your loyal friend.
My thoughts are with you! We had to put down our black lab 12 days short of her 15th birthday. It was the hardest thing I have done in a long time. I held her as the Dr put the medicine in her vein. I wanted her to feel me as she went to the final sleep. The two Yorkiepoo's who have replaced her are my daily companions since I am retired. Dogs are truly mans BEST FRIEND! The trouble is we out live them.
Had to put my Boxer of 11 years down a while back and was the hardest thing to do. His health was poor and all I can remember is his eyes looking at me as it was being done.
As with you, the loyalty of such a friend is amazing. I still think of him everyday and miss him!
Know that you are not alone with your sorrow.
Take care
Wait a month or so and get your new best dog. That may sound irreverent, but that is the answer. I've lost many great (they were all great) dogs and one great cat over the years and could not stand that emptiness.
If you don't own a dog or cat, you will never understand.
My sympathies to you. Although some forum members may consider it heresy, I would rather lose my Vette than my dog Sadie. (see Avatar) It truly is like losing a member of the family.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
