Just said goodbye to the family dog

He's very sick and will get a visit from the vet tomorrow after that it's the eternal hunting fields for him :( My bro and his old room mate took him out the dog pound when he was a puppy. His former owner wanted a guard dog, but he was too friendly.. Anyway my bro's roommate got married, the dog got 3 homes, was loved everywhere and had a brilliant life. It's hard to say goodbye to pets, people can be assholes, but pets don't mean harm, love their owners (if your good to them) and make great companions. I miss him already.. Goodbye Enzo..

    I'm sorry. :( That's really hard to do. You should have SEN add him to the Doggie Thread.

    Oh I am so very sorry for your loss.The photo's are beautiful.It is dreadful when a pet dies.My family had our golden labrador Tarkus for 16 years.I had never felt such sadness when he died.
    Thought to you and your family at his passing.

    He's 12 and has cancer in his stomach and got really thin. He hardly eats anything and has hardly any energy left. Tho he jumped up when my bro and me walked in... He acted really tough, but he hardly stood on his feet the last few days.. I had to restrain myself to stop hugging him..

    I am normally not this sappy.

    but I totally feel what you are going through...I am so sorry, and I hope that you know that your once in a lifetime SUPER DOG was very special indeed.


    aaaand, since no one has posted it yet, I shall:
    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 quivers. 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

    I can't believe I am the first to post this overly sappy story poem...what, are you people made of GRANITE???

    :o god speed to your doggie...

    The mere thought that his original owner dropped him off at the pound because he wouldn't be aggressive and he got 2 loving families in return that gave him a decent and good life is something that lifts my spirit..

    Again thanks guys, your thoughts are appreciated. Misery loves company doesn't exactly express how I feel, but I think you catch my drift.

    much love to you and your family.

    I doubt he/she thinks you (plural) are made of granite (typing would be pretty hard if you were) but I never read it and sent it to my bro after I read it, sappy yes, but still nice.

    I felt like crap, dropped a tear, opened a bottle of wine, read all the responses, played some tunes and already feel a lot better, thanks!!

    True Love

    It was a hard day.
    Full of frustrations;
    The world succeeded
    In beating me down
    No matter how hard I fought.
    Home at last,
    I opened the door
    To your admiring, loving face,
    And kisses like I'd been gone
    A lifetime.
    Warm caresses, healing love--
    I felt the cares of the world
    Slide off my back.
    I held you in my arms
    And only love and happiness
    Surround me.
    and I remembered
    Why I love, so much,
    Coming home...
    You're such a good little dog.

    damn....got me all misty eyed this evening. my thoughts are with you and Enzo. He's had a great life and you are blessed to have been touched by his canine spirit. So hugs from me and big Labrador kisses from my girls.

    That photo is beautiful of him. failedpersephone posted The Rainbow Bridge ahead of me (I had to skip reading it as I can never make it through it)...well, that photo? that's what it will look like at the Rainbow Bridge, he'll be waiting for you.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.
