Oh, Toni, I am so sorry. Spooky certainly landed in a fine place, and enjoyed his life with you. That's all we can do--love, care for, and then let go. My heartfelt sympathy to you and Randy.
Toni I got quite a shock when I read your post. I'm just so glad that Spooky found you and that the last part of his life was all he could have wished it to be. He wound himself into your lives and your hearts and will never be forgotten. RIP little man.
Very sad to read your post Toni Poor Spooky. What an amazing final, loving period he had with you and Randy. Rest well little Spooky.
I'm so sorry to hear about poor Spooky. They do crawl right into your heart and the memories stay. At least his last months were full of love, happiness and kindness.
Oh my goodness Toni, I am so sad to hear about Spooky. I hope you get comfort in knowing that you made the last year of his life wonderful.
Toni, So sad to hear about Spooky. It's always hard to loose our pets. They will always have a special spot in our hearts long after they are gone.
We've lost some furry friends during the last year. Dorthe, my friend's horse and Truls's best friend had to be put down in May. She was 22, fit as a fiddle and could have had many good years still. She tore a tendon, and there was nothing the vet could do. Truls and I shared stables with Dorthe for nearly 11 years, and even though she wasn't mine, I felt like she was a bit mine after all those years. Here she is, watching Truls as he rests: Our tomcat Lord Paint, age 12, had to be put down in June due to cancer. He moved in with us 11 years ago. We don't know where he came from. Once he moved in, he almost ate us out of the house and grew to a respectable size. He used to bring us seagulls, magpies, blackbirds and rodents in exchange for fish, other tidbits and lap time. Loosing a furry friend is very hard. I usually say that if we're not sad when they die, we haven't loved them in life. These three were dearly loved and sorely missed.
Yes, losing a furry friend is hard. They become members of the family group and when they are gone it leaves a hole that nothing can fully fill. I'm sorry about Lord Paint and Dorthe.
3 days ago, I lost my companion, my furbaby and my walking partner of almost 12 years. Boomer had been with us since she was 7 weeks old. We think she suffered a stroke in the middle of the night, and she died in my sons arms. It has been very hard on me because it was so unexpected.I thought she was in such great shape ... she would walk with me for miles and miles. I never expected that our morning walk just 4 days ago would be our last. RIP Boomer, I do hope your are chasing bunnies and exploring the woods over the rainbow bridge.
Oh Netty, I am SO sorry. It's heartbreaking to lose a pet under any circumstances, but even more difficult when it's unexpected like that. My deepest condolences to you and yours.
Netty losing a best four legged friend and companion is one of the hardest things we have to bear. When it's so sudden it doesn't give you time to prepare for the end and is even harder to come to terms with. I really feel for you but I'm so glad your son was there for Boomer at the end. I still cry into my pillow now and then over our last dog, Blue, and it's been nearly 17 years since he passed away. I hope he was there to meet Boomer at Rainbow Bridge and that they're now the best of friends.
