Well today we said our final goodbyes to our gorgeous baby boy.  He was only 2.5 years old and from the minute we got him he has been THE best dog ever and will be sorely missed. We are all lost without him. Here he is as a mangy wee pup when we got him in August 2009  Meeting a horse for the first time in July 2010 aged 1yo  Playing with Tara April 2011  8th Jan 2012 before we knew he was poorly   Wednesday  Sleep tight my beautiful boy   |

Just My Dog
He's just my dog.
He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds, my other ears that hear above the winds.
He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being - by the way he rests against my leg, the way he thumps his tail at the smallest smile, and how he shows his hurt when I leave. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.)
When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, he ignores it.
When I succeed, he brags.
Without him, I am only another person.
With him, I am all powerful.
He has taught me the meaning of devotion is loyalty itself.
With him, I know secret comfort and a private peace.
He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant.
His head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things.
He has promised to wait for me ... whenever ... in case I need him, and I expect I will, as I always have.
Who is he? He's just ... my dog.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Elaine, this has brought us great comfort - I hope it does for you as well.xx Beautiful pictures of himxx

So sorry Elaine I know you have not had an easy time of it, and that as well as contending with his diagnosis but that the vets weren't very pleasant or helpful either, so you have had a particularly tough experience. You know you have done the right thing for him and glad you had a couple of weeks to say your goodbyes It is hard to lose any pet or animal, but it always seems so much harder when they are taken young and before their time Thinking of you at this really difficult time ((((hugs)))) |
