My Best Friend Passed

[rpcrowe]

Her name was Mama Mia and she and I had been together for over 13-years. She had been my best friend and I was hers.



She was a constant and loyal companion who developed a brain lesion very suddenly. She could not stand, foamed at the mouth and did not recognize me! Thankfully she didn't have to suffer long. Judy and I were with her as our vet put her out of her misery.

It's a great loss but, I look around and our rescue dogs and think about the dogs we have saved and that seems to make Mama Mia's loss just a tiny bit easier. NOT EASY BY ANY STRETCH, just a BIT easier...

BTW: please make sure that all of you have at least one good picture of any dog or person that you love!

Thankfully she didn't have to suffer long.

And that is what is so important.

I am so sorry, Richard.

Richard,

Sorry for your loss.

[Ziggy]

Very sorry for your loss Richard. I know how hard it is.

[HMW12]

So very sorry for your loss Richard. I know how hard it is when our fur babies cross the Rainbow Bridge.

[Jimr1961]

Being there when they are put down is the hardest and most loving thing a companion can do. I've done it too many times (5 cats, 6, 13, 18, 19 and 21 years old).

So sorry Richard.

Sorry for your loss, Richard. Always hard to say goodbye to a friend......

[Brownbear]

Sorry, for your loss Richard. I also know how hard it is... Mamma Mia will be with you every day in spirit.

A tear comes to my eye when I think of her waiting for me to cross the Rainbow Bridge together with her!

When we had to put our 15 year old doberman to sleep, our vet sent us a card that really made me cry:
"The paw prints left on your heart will never be forgotten"

Very true and a wonderful sentiment!

Deepest sympathies, Richard, and a big virtual hug.

[NorthernFocus]

You have our sympathy, Richard. Losing them is so hard. But having lived without them would be unthinkable. Cherish the memories.

Just think of all the wonderful years you gave each other
