With great sadness, My best friends time has come...
He was always there when I needed someone to talk too, Always listened and never complained... He would never leave my side, not for anything... Was truly "mans best friend"...
Over the past 12 years we had a lot of great memories... Memories that are with me and my family for life... The long walks we took, the fishing trips we went on, chasing him across large fields as he took off after a deer (and wouldn't listen to me at all) ... bathing him when he attacked a skunk... and had the smell to prove it... :)

Last night, I cooked him up a soup bone, and bought him a whole bag of treats... kind of a last meal ya know? He enjoyed it... but looking into his eyes he knew something was up... I sat with him for an hour or so before bed, looking into his eyes and rubbing his head... Even though he knew what was coming, he was still strong and sat close to me as to tell me that everything was going to be okay... I tried not to cry... Not to let him know I was scared... Not to let him know what was going to happen... but I couldn't help it... knowing that these minutes I'm spending with him will be the last...

His eyes were bad, and he couldn't hear any longer... but he always knew what I wanted... and no matter how sore he was from his arthritis, he would always come to me... Every day... EVERY day... when I got home from work, he would be standing there waiting for me... I don't know what I'm going to do Monday when I come home from work and Buddy isn't there...

I feel sick already knowing that he's gone... This is one of the saddest days of my life so far... What a great dog... What a great friend...

And with that - I dedicate this, my 5000th post... to my best friend in the world who would have done anything he could for me...

I'll see you again someday Buddy... May you rest in peace...

We lost our last dog almost two years ago to the day, and that was one of the saddest things I have ever felt. I grew up with that dog, I had been through so much with him, so I can imagine how you feel.

Sorry for your loss, and may he RIP

We have this prayer framed on the wall in our hallway, the last line of the prayer reminds me of this:

"A Dog's Prayer"

Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of mine.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when the sound of your footstep falls upon my ears.

Please take me inside when it is cold and wet for I am a domesticated animal no longer accustomed to bitter elements and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well to romp and play and do you bidding; to walk by your side and stand ready and able to protect you with my life, should yours be in danger.

And, my friend, when I am old and deprived of my health and sight, do not turn me away from you; rather see that my trusted life is taken gently, and I shall leave knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands.
