15 Good Years

[Ugly]

I was lucky to have adopted a beautiful baby boy beagle 15 years ago, he was just a little cute chubby one of six from the litter. I got him at the pound and he is a pure breed. Age caught up with him and today he couldn't take it anymore. The pic with the shirt was after his last surgery, the other one is from the rough life he had! :) Obie was his name and food was his game!

 

This little guy got me through a lot in life and I am glad he crossed my path and brought me the joy and strength I needed.

 

RIP little buddy!

Sorry about your loss brother, I know how our furry companions can sometimes become truly our best friends and even our kids. A sad loss indeed my friend.

Sorry for your loss. We are facing this soon with our little man. They are the best companions. Our little man has been through thick and thin with us. Glad your paths crossed and you gave him that ”rough" life.

Sorry for the loss.

So very sorry. In my own way, I understand and sympathize. Our four legged friends are some of the best we will ever have.

Very sorry to hear about your friend. Sure am glad you and him were able to get put together. I'm sure his life was filled with your love and you were love by him. He is now in Dog Heaven and young and playing again like a puppy............

Sorry for your loss!  It always hurts so much to lose one that is part of the family.

And I know how empty the house always feels after we lose one!

For days I keep turning around expecting them to be right behind me, or curled up on their pillow, or in the middle of the floor begging for food!  And eventually the silence and the quiet becomes too much, and we decide it's time to start the search for the new adopted 4 legged family member.

I have always loved this and think it might fit here:

 

Dogs In Heaven?

An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying 'no trespassing' so they walked on. They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. "Welcome to Heaven" he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him. The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed, I'm sorry but he can't come with you."

"What kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If he can't come in, then I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful companion all his life, I can't desert him now."

"Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area, he'll promise you anything, but the dog can't go there either. If you won't leave the dog, you'll spend Eternity on this road."

So the old man and dog went on. They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside. "S'cuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?"

"Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves comfortable"

"You're sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs weren't allowed anywhere."

"Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?"

"No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven, he said the dog couldn't come in.
We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy here can't come too, and that's final."

The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."

"You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow down the road said they weren't?"

"That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but then it's too late. The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there. GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?"

I've been there and understand how you feel. Sorry for your loss.

[DWARREN123]

They always go too soon. Love them while they are with you.

I feel your pain.

[Ugly]

Thanks all! It is incredible what these guys do for us, I knew there were a lot of animal lovers here and I feel for your losses too. We're are a better world because of these guys.
