the Rainbow Bridge

Condolences to you and your family. I had a red Doberman named Chloe and when I had to help her pass at the vets office tears and snot were literally pouring out of me. I have cried more for two of my dogs passing than I did for my 4 grandparents and I loved them all, but a good dog is your daily companion.

I was a medic in Viet Nam. I saw more death, dying and maimed bodies than anyone should ever have to see. I never cried, but when one of our loved and loving dogs has it's final rest, I cry like a baby.
 
I always hate reading these type threads, because they remind me so much of the same pain I've had to deal with so many times in my life. That's the selfish me. Yet I also know how much it helps to console someone else that's going through the same heart wrenching pains, to know others understand that pain.

If you have pets, you're going to have to go through the pain of losing them.

Yet in end, the unconditional love they offer has us going back time and time again to find another pet to love.

May God bless you with peace and comfort during this difficult journey. You sharing your loss makes mine not hurt so bad knowing we all must go through it at some time. I will continue to replace my dearly departed pets for as long as I am able, for there is such a joy they bring into my life that I cannot describe it. But other dog lovers know what it is.
 
The poem reminds me....

Our dog had 1 (one) puppy one time and it was a complete surprise. My wife went into the garage and said, "There's a PUPPY out here!" Well, I loved it and it loved the blazes out of me. Whenever I'd get home, I'd look in the back yard and 'Buddy' would perk up and run like crazy toward me, jump into my arms and cover me with kisses and bite my beard. Man, did I love that dog. Well, we took him to the vet about the time to get his shots. A few days later he had parvo and died. I'm still a mess to this day thinking about him. And my beautiful Heidi girl who would do everything I told her to. And Russell D. Boo who didn't have a contentious bone in his body and was just happy to be with us. And B.A. Cat, who I thought at first was crazy, hence the name, Bad *** Cat but he turned out to be a great kitty and endeared us to him. Recently we lost Pearl, who was the most AFFECTIONATE cat I've ever met. I think she thought I was a big, bearded cat. There have been many others, all of them were special in some way. Most lived to a ripe old age but there were a few cases where the good died young.
 
My heart goes out to you. We lost Beautiful Baby Grace, our Olde English Mastiff, on September 5th after 13.5 years. The wife swore up and down that there would be no more dogs in our life. I gave it 30 days. Sure enough, she saw this and has already picked out a name.
