Deepest Sympathies - Page 2

I'm so very sorry. I know you must be heartbroken.

I am so sorry, Melanie -- but know that you have done right, and done all you could.

Melanie, so sorry to hear this.  My special thoughts and prayers to you and yours.

i think most of the people on this board can understand the sense of loss. rip chili and condolences to gsdfan and her family. it sounds like this special dog had an extra wonderful last few months.

So sorry.... R.I.P Chili... Hugs to you and yours GSDFAN.

Thanks to everyone for your heartfelt sympathies.

I am a mess, I thought I was "prepared" but I guess you never can be.  She meant so much to me, she was my soul mate.   Maybe not always the topic of my conversation here but incredibly important to me none-the-less.  She taught me so much and inspired me to learn all I have about this wonderful breed.  Most important...she taught me that high drive dogs are more fun. lol.

Oh if tears could buld a stairway.....I could have built thousands by now.  Seems like everything I do reminds me she's not here anymore.  She was my shadow, always less than 3ft away from me...shared my pillow and always was the first to greet me at the door.  Would spring to her feet every time I moved a muscle, I didn't realize how used to it I had gotten.  Andy is always near me, but not up my ass like she always was...sometimes it was annoying, but I sure miss it now.

But it was her time to go, she was just a shadow of her former self.  Last week was the last time she was well enough to go to some OB and swim at the pool, but she declined quickly in the past few days.  Nothing left but skin and bones on a once very strong muscular body.  She lost that sparkle in her eye and the energy to bark at the door with the others.  There were many other little things that let me know it was time, I'm greatful I was able to be descisive...that was very important to me.

I put this together to help me cope.  Please watch....

Melanie,  can't see the photos. I sent you a PM on this board. I hope my experiences will give  you some comfort.

Thanks Blitzen.   Try this link for the photo album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S-6t3yIj_k

Here's another video I took a little over a month ago...makes me laugh.

She sure loved water! I am sure it was tough on your daughter as well! Beautiful memories and photos for her to appreciate one of these days.

There are never the right words.....please know that you are in my thoughts & prayers today & always. Chili is waiting for you at the Bridge, happy & healthy; & will one day race to be with you again. God Bless, Melanie. jackie harris
