Well, today is the day I have dreaded the most since I started posteing here. I lost my Beautiful Brown Eye Baby Boy. He was 7.75 years old. He was so a good dog. He was at the Vet Hospital. We knew he was sick and it was not his heart. Vet said he had all the signs of brain cancer. They had given him vallium to easy his discomfort. Thankfully he went in his sleep. I got there just minutes after it happened. I knew in my heart I needed to be there. I know he at the rainbow bridge with my Cassius Clay that passed on 21 years ago. I had planned on going to the Dog Show here in Kansas City this weekend, but can't bear the thought of it. We are all so sad, my two sons 15 and 10 and even my husband. I just want him to know how much we loved him and how much he will be missed. WE LOVE YOU BUSTER SEE YOU AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE. HAVE FUN WITH GRANDPA THOMSON TILL WE GET THERE.

Teressa I'm so sorry and my heart goes out to you and your family :( Thinking of you, take care. Someone sent me this poem when we lost Tess and it helped...a little...
Dont Grieve Too Long
Don't grieve too long for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God set for me
I ran to Him when I heard His call,
I wagged my tail and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To bark, to love, to romp or play
Games left unplayed must stay that way.
I found such peace it made my day.
My parting has left you with a void,
So fill it with your remembered joy
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss;
Oh, yes, these things I too shall miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, you've given so much -
Your time, your love and gentle touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Teressa--
I am so very sorry. I am sitting here with tears running down my cheeks. I remember that Buster helped you through your dad's death. He had such an important purpose here for you. Now, his purpose is on the other side of the Bridge.
I was so looking forward to meeting you this weekend, but of course I understand. You have my email address. Please let me know if I can do anything at all, even just lend an ear.
You're in our hearts and prayers.

Do not stand at my grave
and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
I am the diamond glints
on snow
I am the springtime winds
that blow
I am the summer sun that moves
across the plains
I am the gentle
and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
I am the diamond glints
on snow
I am the springtime winds
that blow
I am the summer sun that moves
across the plains
I am the gentle

Sorry - I lost it somehow - hit the wrong button - here's the rest.
I am the gentle
autumn rains.
So, do not stand at my grave
and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
This is a beautiful poem by an (Indian (author name unknown - I saw it once and made a copy of it - I thought it was so beautiful.)
When we had to put Trapper to sleep it broke our hearts - He had seizures for 7 of his 9 years but we were always able to control them with medications. They just finally got so bad though. This part is a little bit funny - We never knew dogs had seizures and by coincidence, the first time Trapper ever had a seizure was, of course, the same evening after we had just watched Cujo. Trapper was under the bed - it was about 2:00 A.M. We were horrified. We thought our dog had rabies and was about to kill us all. Our children were 6 and 2. It was pretty scarey, believe me - then we talked to the vet and found out it was okay. I am so sorry for your loss - I know your heart is breaking.
