Just Finished Burying My Best Friend

[Benny]

I got a call to get over to my parent's house as soon as possible; if any of you remember Zeus is 100 in dog years and couldn't make it up and down my stairs.

I guess he kept falling over and was having trouble breathing. They were going to take him to the vet, but they wanted me to see him first...I didn't get there in time.

I knew the time was coming soon and I knew it was going to be hard, but I had no idea it would be this hard...14 years is a long time.

I'm going to bed now.



R.I.P. Zeus, you have no idea how much you are going to be missed.

 

[PapaScout]

I'm sorry to hear that. I can relate.

 

[Mokkie]

Sorry for your loss. Been there too.

 

[Naptown]

Godspeed Zeus. Time will be the healer Bazooka. It won't be soon, but it will get better.

Hang in there!

Sorry about your loss Ben, I know it will not replace a lifelong friend but you have a new pup to help.

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 begins to quiver. 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.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sorry for your loss.
The short lifespans of our beloved pets is the price we pay for unconditional love.

My sympathies are with you and the rest of the family.

Dang you Burkhead, I hate posts like that, I've got something in my eyes I better go wash it out.

Sorry to hear about your loss Bazooka>

 

[mrjarrell]

Condolences, Joe. I know how you feel.

 

[rhart]

Sorry for your loss. My best friends have been dogs too.
I like to think they are in a better place where there is lots of game to chase and other best friends to romp with.

 

[printcraft]

Making my eyes leak a little.

That sucks. Sorry for your loss.
