Goodbye my sweet furry friend. My constant companion. My comfort. My steadfast, trustworthy, fuzz-faced, cookie-loving, second-hand, truest treasure in all the world. You were almost always a gentleman. Thank you for choosing me. I'm honored to have been your person.
Crying, What a wonderful doggie! I lost my doggie when she was 20 years old.
ReplyDeletehuggies for you

Oh dear, you must be feeling devastated! Sorry you have lost your beloved pet.
ReplyDeletePeace and comfort in your loss, I am also the lucky person chosen by a sheltie...my sweet boy Dakota....so sorry ~Kriss~
ReplyDeleteOh,Jo. This morning I was able to use a friend's laptop before everyone awakens - I'm out of town for 2 weeks - and check emails & blogs. I hadn't intended to write - just read - but I had to. I'm horribly sorry for your loss. What a beautiful boy. What aching you must have in your heart. I love you, Jo, and am wrapping you in tearful hugs this morning.
ReplyDeleteCrying buckets. I'm so very sorry to read about your beloved boy! We lost our Honey on the 18th and I am adrift in sadness and missing her.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of hugs,
Sally
I'm sorry to read this...much love from The Pea Pod XX
ReplyDeleteOh my god!! I am so, very sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...
So very very sorry Jo.... It's so hard to loose a dear sweet companions. The angels must be celebrating his arrival. You were so fortunate to have found each other. Such beautiful pictures. He will always have a special place in your heart. The sweet memories will one day soon bring you much joy. I've lost many over the years and have always said no more because the loss is so hard to bare. I found that God has always sent another little one who was in need of a loving home and I have always been grateful to have been chosen. Take time to heal dear Jo. Saying a prayer for both of you today.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Morena
Awww... I'm sorry for your loss. He was a cutie pie.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your loss, he was a beautiful Sheltie. I have a border collie who is 13 and in kidney failure, so we have him on medicines and make the best of each day together.

My heart is breaking for you, I'm so sorry for your loss, Jo. Healing blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteawww, so sorry,
ReplyDeleteI saw your beautiful words and had to see who you were so loving and heartfelt speaking of.
Such a beauty, I'm sure he will be sorely missed.
What a beauty boy. Looking at his sweet face, I just can't help but cry.
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry for your loss. I've lost several over the years but each was so special in their own way and they took a piece of my heart with them.
I urge you to think of the happy memories and I'm sending you a hug and my deepest sympathies.

I'm so sorry for your loss...my heart is breaking for you. He was beautiful and perfect in every way. We in dog rescue believe in the Rainbow Bridge. This is for you...
ReplyDeleteThe Rainbow Bridge
inspired by a Norse legend
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
I'll be sending prayers your way.
Sincerely,
Merilee
Oh Jo and Dylan, I am so very sorry. I know too well how hard it is to say goodbye to a child with fur. I had to say goodbye to my sweet boy of 21+ years last fall. Time heals, but then there are the sneak attacks like finding his favorite toy under a box or opening his favorite food for our new companion. Memories are what helps heal. He was a beautiful Sheltie and his eyes spoke of his kind soul. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly sorry for you...what a beautiful companion...
ReplyDeleteI am so sad. I cannot imagine.
ReplyDeleteAh, what a beautiful collie. I'm so sorry to hear he has passed on. I love your attitude about his passing though. It so accepting and loving.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sweet face - I am sure you will miss him and all the comfort he gave you.

ReplyDeleteUgh, that is so hard! It just sucks! Dogs are amazing and I think love us more than we can ever know...
ReplyDeleteThinking about you today Jo. Sending xxxooo
