Good bye my brave Bear, guardian of the pack.
You were always the first to warn of danger.
You were always the first to wag your tail.
We send you to a place of no pain.
Wait for us there with General.
We will see you again.
Love your family.
Wow
So many friends here on C-D.
Thank you all
It never gets easier but we do learn to live with it.
I found it healing to write that. Funny thing is that he was chronically suffering a bad back which caused the loss of his legs. Two years of it were enough.
This past week my back was just killing me (something very unusual for me). When he passed my back completely stopped hurting, I mean immediately.
Odd but it made me feel that the best decision had been made. Maybe I was feeling the level of his pain. Who knows. He just was a dog that crawled into your heart and stayed there.
Looking at old videos and photos now I had not realized just how bad off he had gotten.
Thank you all for your kind words.

So sad...but it was his time. He will always be in your heart and when your time comes he'll be the first in line to greet you.
Thanks again friends, he was a funny wonderful companion, today I found myself looking for him. Still seems odd not to have him around.
I planted some sweet peas around his little grave so soon it will be beautiful. My other one (dashie) has become quite the lap dog.
Today I gathered up all his favorite raggedy toys and cleaned out his hiding spot in the closet. He had spent alot of time there towards the end. There is a heating vent under the floor and I had a pillow he could rest on. Wow I felt his presence in there.
Still know he is in a better place but I still feel his loss. Thanks CD for providing a place that a strong on the outside marshmallow on the inside woman can go and morn a bit.
I am so sorry for your loss ...Bear is free from all the aches and pains now and will live forever in your heart. It is so hard when they go ... but how lucky we are to be able to spare them from suffering for a long time.
Take good care of yourself and try to think of the happy memories...
