Goodbye my Dear friend - Page 1

I'll miss your unique temperament and goofy ways. You were more my buddy than a dog. To look down and never see those silky brown eyes looking back up at me, hurts in more ways than I can express. I thought I'd be prepared. I thought I cried it all out already. I thought I'd be ready to do this when the time came. Letting you go is the hardest thing I have done in a very long time.

You were always so loyal, steady and loving. I hope you make is safely to the Rainbow Bridge and have a mountain of pig ears to work on, until I see you again.

So sorry 4pack,

We Have A Secret

We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass.

4pack,

So very sorry for your loss.  Your pictures were so touching and beautiful.  I hope your pain is somewhat lessened by the good memories you have.

I know many of us know your pain.

Sorry to hear of your loss 4 Pack.

Oh, 4pack, I am so sorry. There is no greater sorrow I know than the loss of a GSD. Over the years I've buried a lot of dogs, dogs I was very fond of. However, none ever got under my skin like my first GSD, Dylan. When his chemo no longer kept his leukemia in remission, we knew it was time to give him peace. I still dream of him and feel his presence in my life as I know you will too. It's never enough time with this special breed.

My thoughts and tears will be with you today and every time I think of your loss. Take comfort in knowing that he is running free and healthy now. If not for you who knows where he may have landed in life.  If that him on your slide show? He was beautiful.

Lovely poem, Poppa, I could have written that based on my experiences with Dylan. I can actually feel his breath on my face and his head resting on my lap at times. He doesn't come to me as often as he used to and I do miss that a lot. I guess he's letting Blitz take his place now .

4 Pack,

Your loss is something that a dog lover knows, but can never explain to people that do not own, or care to own a dog! You are a loving friend to your dog, by the decision you had to make, because your buddy was relying on you to do the right thing, and you did.  Your heart feels like it is broken in a million pieces, and the pain is unbearable. As a dog owner, (GSD) I/WE know that pain.

Your buddy is now young and free again, never to be in pain or to be old or sick.

4pack, I'm sorry.

 I am so sorry for your loss

My condolences 4pack.  Besides my wife, I have never given my heart completely to anyone, like I did to Brandy, Whisper, Meathead, Pee Wee and Vroni.  I know how you feel. A living thing that takes so much pleasure in just your company, asks little and gives sooo much in return.
