In memory of.....

[friesian80]

Ive recently done a thread about my 2 whippet pups from 8 weeks to 6 months and its made me look at the doggy section of the forum a bit more.
Just before I got my pups I lost my Parsons Jack Russell, she was the baby of the family, the sweetest, kindest, gentlest dog ive ever come across, she was only 2 when she died in a tragic accident.
Phoebe RIP sweet girl, love mum xxxxx

My fave poem- makes me think of my old Bonnie....


I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.

I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,

"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,

You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.

I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.

I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.

I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.

I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.

To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...

In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning

and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.

Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.

Aww....bless...this post is making me well up

there has been so many losts this year.....of the friends we have lost....R.I.P forever little angels

Will add all mine...when I get a minute and scan my old piccies

...I will be blubbing like a baby

To the little Westie X, that was hit by a van this afternoon after it's owner wasn't watching it whilst on an extended lead..

A warning to all, it was very, very sad

A year ago today, my little Jake was PTS. One day he was fine, the next he kept falling over. An MRI showed that he had a mass in his stomach and several in his spine.

He'd been through a lot, two tibia plateau levelling operations and months of cage rest to repair both cruciates. He was a superb patient and took to a crate with never a whimper.

He recovered completely and ran faster than his brother:

He was a dog with a definite sense of humour:

He liked his creature comforts:

But was always ready for an epic walk:

Jakey loved his brother:

But most of all, he loved his daddy, whose dog he was until the day he died, aged 7.

Run free, my Jakey. Never forgotten.

Aww CT, I can't believe it's been a year. I can remember when you lost him, it brought a tear to my eye then and your post today has done the same. I just had to give my spaniel, Purdey, a big hug.
Hugs to you and I hope the pain of losing him has been overtaken by the wonderful memories of him - thank goodness for memories.

Thank you. It's weird to have the pups: we wouldn't have them if Jake hadn't died. He was a stunning dog. I feel so for the OH, I still have Brig and I know we have the babies, but it's weird still.

I lost my darling Megan last week and today is the first day I've woken up to a house with no dogs (had some boarders in until yesterday). It feels very empty without her lovely face looking up from the bottom of the stairs. I know she was 14 years old and had a good life and that I did everything I could for her but it doesn't make it easier to live without her.

Here she is in her hey day looking beautiful

Dressed for PAT visiting. she was a lovely gentle soul and every doggy person who met her loved her

And in her dotage this is the lovely face that looked up at me

 

[Nickijem]

She was indeed very beautiful and what a wonderful life she must have shared with you. You have my heartfelt sympathy.

RIP Sarge, Jody, Sherry my gorgeous bull Mastiff babies x

 

[PonyFeet10]

Sadly I have another to add to this heartbreaking list..

My Grandma and Grandads dog, Billy. Very much loved, we will never EVER forget you gorgeous.. You're out of pain now and no longer suffering

He was cremated, and his ashes buried in their garden yesterday with a beautiful red and purple Fuchsia planted on top.

27/01/1998 to 11/08/2011 May you soar high in the sky, with our beloved Patch and look after one another until I'm there to join you xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Billy..

With his brother, the only two in their litter..

In memory of our beautiful boy Snoopy. We lost him last Tuesday morning to epilepsy. He was 9 years old & bouncing right to the end, always full of beans & one of the naughtiest dogs going - but we loved him to bits! Definately one of a kind.

9/11 is particularly poignant for me, not only remembering all those who lost their lives in the twin towers attack but it was also Buffy's birthday. She would have been 11 today, but was pts on 12 July 2011. Sleep tight old lady, we all miss you so much, especially Evie.

 

[Dobiegirl]

That is a lovely photo of her with her chicken, am thinking of you because I know how heartbreaking to lose a special friend.

Passed doing the things he loved munching and cuddles.

I only had him since Feb this year, but what a lovely few months they were.


Night night old man, find your master over the bridge x x x

 

[MurphysMinder]

Toffee that last line brought tears to my eyes.

 

[Toffee44]

Toffee that last line brought tears to my eyes.

He never felt "mine" I just held the responsibility of making sure we was comfortable and that he went with dignity. Thats why making sure the time was right was so important to me, it wasn't my decsion to make.

And thinking about it today, I would do it all over again. Next year when we know if we are staying here, Shropshire or Isle of Man I will look for another oldie. He was no trouble and I always came home to a warm sofa

Jake
08.06.11-24.10.11

This little man brightened up the days we shared together, even though there were far too few of them.
Knowingly taking on a pup with a heart murmur was against my better judgement, but despite all the heartache and pain at losing him at just less than five months old, I'd do it all over again for this special little man.
In such a short space of time you completely took over the house and the hearts of everyone in it.
My slippers will never recover, nor will the washing basket or the boxes under my bed. Most overused phrase in this house recently: "Come here you wee monkey!"
Sleep tight wee man, you'll never be far from my thoughts.

 

[Nickijem]

RIP little Jake,
Life is not measured by the years you lived,
But by the love and the things you did...

Sounds like you had plenty of love and did plenty of fun puppy things.
Doggy heaven must have been short of an angel - have fun up there

 

[Pendlehog]

I have just found the courage to read this thread for the first time and have not cried so much in a long time. To everyone here who has lost a friend I hope you can find comfort in knowing you are not alone.

I lost my very best friend two weeks ago and today was the first time it hit me I would really never see him again.
He is not a dog, but I hope you will not mind.

My dearest Einstein, keeper of my heart and the brightest star in all the sky. Sleep well my friend xx

 

[islander]

Einstein is gorgeous!
Why on earth am I reading this lovely thread? I am bawling my eyes out, especially on reading the poignant poems. I am going out for lunch in an hour and will have a more-than-usual bright red nose and piggy eyes even when I arrive!

 

[Dobiegirl]

I wasnt expecting that, so sorry for your loss, Einstein sounded lovely, I would love to know more about him, perhaps when it isnt so raw you will feel able to tell us his story.

6 Months ago i lost my amazing Annie dog at 15 years young. She was my dog of a lifetime, i got her when i was 15 myself and she went through everything with me, a few boyfriends, my won daughter coming into the world despite not being fond of kids being my daughters best friend too. And a divorce!!!
She was a true character and typically had small dog syndrom!!!
Even after 6 months i still get that gut wrenching sad feeling when i think of her, and even shed a few tears for her.

Annie hope your having fun up there, im sure your terroising the rabbits and doing as you pleased as you did when you were with us. Miss you all the time and will never for get you!!!!xxx
