Goodbye my Dear friend - Page 7

Funkman - I like you needed to find a place at my home to memorialize Reno.  I couldn't take looking at a box of ashes all day, so I made a little garden.  Wish I had land like you to make a proper one, like you did, but must admit it helps giving her a pretty place - just for her.  I buried her ashes here.  For those of you who have lost your pets, it is a great way to find comfort at least it helped for me.   May 4 pack and yellow rose find peace soon.

ohh , renofan...that is beautiful ! i love the little GSD statue...i think you did a wonderful job of memorializing your dog....

That is very beautiful. Someday when I have my forever home, I will do something like that for my dogs.

Yellow Rose I am almost mad at you for not fessing up sooner! I wish you would have emailed me. How are you holding up?

YellowRose, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I send you the same sentiments as for 4Pack, I know how hard it is and am thinking of you.

Cindi

I'm so sorry for both of you!

4 - I've been with my critters at the end. It is surprising how fast it is. But if the end has to be at the vet's office, I make sure that mine is the last voice they hear, telling them that I love them and to go wait with the others because one day I'll be there with them.  I figure it's the least I can do for someone who has given me the greatest gift of love. Remember you did that for Trick...

Thanks 4-pack:  Its been very hard making the decision to do the deed....I put it off, hoping he,being older, and having fathered so many great sons and daughters, would pull out of his cancerous tumors and they would all go away and he would be the fighting spirit he has always been....I couldnt stand it the day he tried to jump into the pu and couldnt,,,he fell backwards and he looked up at Me and with those Tiekerhook eyes and expressions on his working face....and he was a working force to be dealth with,    "WHY MOM ,can't I get up there like before....???

I do not believe in letting them suffer and not live the life they were meant to have....Germans never let you know they hurt...that inner drive keeps them trying one more time......

I am blessed to have his daughters here, and one of them looks like him, big head for a female and she has his big eyes and his features....God knows what he is doing.....he left me Abby, who just came home to me.....from her owner,who knew I was putting Austin down.

He cried when he brought her home , but he has her daughter by Mark v Vollkommen, and he wanted her to be here to walk in her Dads footprints....she is my sidekick now...and takes every step I do, and If not possible ,I can hear her talking ,clear out back to the back 40'.....

Thanks to all....

I stay busy and need to get off the computor and get busy...Nite to all.

4 Pack.. Sorry for your loss.

I was shocked and saddened to read this thread today.  I didn't expect you would have lost him so soon after diagnosis.   I have been away or I would have responded sooner.  I'm so sorry, I know how painful this loss is for you and your family.  It's never, ever long enough.
