I lost my 4-legged best friend last nite.

[SnellySmokesEm]

Some of you guy have seen pics of my boxer and was aware of some of his health problems.  Cassius passed away at home in my arms last night.  He was 7 1/2 years and lived a wonderful life.  I know everyone thinks that they have the greatest dog and I felt the same way also.  Cassius helped bring me and and wife together and he was there to see my two kids born.  It is very sad day for me today....

So sorry to hear about your loss. For us with dogs, it is like losing a child.
Been there done that.......and now have 2 dogs.

My wife and I lasted 30 days when our dog passed to get new 2 puppies.

Very sorry to hear about Cassius.  When we lost a pet we took comfort in the following, hope it helps: 


RAINBOW BRIDGE

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,

Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

Where the friends of man and woman do run,

When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,

Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

On this golden land, they wait and they play,

Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,

For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,

Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,

Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,

Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;

Together again, both person and pet.

So they run to each other, these friends from long past,

The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,

Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

They embrace with a love that will last forever,

And then, side-by-side, they cross over... together.

So sorry for your loss.  Us pet owners know how you feel.  Words cannot take the hurt away however time will.  You will always have him in your memories.

Matt,

I am very sorry for your loss. As Lumpy said, they are as much a part of the family as anyone else. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Wow... Very sorry to hear this Snelly.

Not much I can add except I know exactly how you feel. Try to concentrate on the great times and celebrate the wonderful time Cassius spent with you and your family.

Saddens my Heart to hear of your loss.

Having had Dogs (friends) all my life it doesn't get easier when one of has to move on.

I always tell myself ......... no more.

Then one day something happens and the need to have another best friend opens up
your heart and a new buddy chooses you for Him to take care of.

Each one has filled a special place during a critical part of my Life.

This is a partial list of some quotes I have had on my puter since forever. Hope you enjoy them.

Matt so sorry for your loss...

I lost my dog a year ago. She was 15 years old and I had since she was 1 year old. I sometimes open the back door calling her name expecting her to come and forgetting that she is gone :'(
