Alot of people loose their best buddy and this thread is for venting and even just sharing the stories. NO RUDE COMMENTS

my doggie left today around 9:30am

Words will never replace your feelings. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

thankyou!

and i have something coming! when i find what im looking for, i will post it

hey my doggy is up in heaven. her name was Shasha. she was like 7 real years old, and she was potty trained. she was black except a long white streak down her neck and a little bit of white on her paws. she never bit anyone, but when she was hurt she only yelped, and she even was potty trained, when she had to go potty, she was by the back door, and waited for somone to open the door. but one day my dad's nose was getting stuffed up and we had to keep her outside. because he was allergic, we had to give her back to the animal shelter. And probably because she was to old, she was put to slep. se was so sweet!

heres a link im dedicating to the lost dogs of '08!

Heres the lyrics to the song! it cal be looked at in MANY different views, and i chalanged myself to see the dogs view! the black is the lyrics, and the red is what it means to me!

From the moment that we met
My world was turned around
Upside down
when you get the pup, its the best thing ever

To some degree I still regret
My memory for keeping you around
your sad that you made them live through all the pain

Girl I thought that you were mine
your pup truley belongs in the Heavens
But my broken hearts been shattered
One too many times
It hurts with the pain of all the previous losses of the doggys

And I don't want to see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
seeing the pup all old and hurt is unbearable

I love it when you're here,
But I'm better when you're gone
Youd love for them to stay, but youd rather them be happy when gone

I'm certain that I've given and oh how you can take
treats treats and more treats

There's no use in you looking
There's nothing left for you to break
to your pup: please dont try to live

Baby please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces
to your pup:just please go and let me be

Someone let you down again
someone wouldnt play ball with the pup

So you turn to me
Your convenient friend
so they asked you to play

Oh but I know what you're doing
And what you hope to find
I've seen it a thousand times
to the pup: you are aasking, but i dont want to right now.

Oh the fire we had before
the friendship

Are now just bitter ashes
Left scattered on the floor
the dog was cremated!

And I don't want to see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
seeing the pup all old and hurt is unbearable

I love it when you're here,
But I'm better when you're gone
Youd love for them to stay, but youd rather them be happy when gone

I'm certain that I've given and oh how you can take
treats treats and more treats

There's no use in you looking
There's nothing left for you to break
to your pup: please dont try to live

Baby please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces
to your pup:just please go and let me be

A lot of you read the poem I wrote in another thread called "My Friend." In light of this thread and since my dearest friend AR just lost her friend, I wanted to share the poem with you again, but with a twist. You see right after I wrote this poem AR put graphics to it, and sent it to me. I was delighted with the end result and share it now, with all of you!

For those of you who can't read it, the text to the poem is:
My Friend

I once had a friend
so young and so bold.
My friend and I frolicked
in sunshine of gold.

My friend liked to play
in fields and near streams.
My friend would not stray
too far in my dreams.

My friend liked the children
both those young and old.
My friend would watch o'er them
when out they would roam.

My friend was so special
to more than just me.
My friend was much more
than a mere dog could be.

My friend was a hunter
of all hidden things.
My friend would find treasures
and then home them bring.

Oh maybe not a treasure
to you or to me.
But, to my friend it was special
to give them to me.

My friend has gone on now
to a place I can't yet go.
But I know in my heart
that it's where good doggies go.

Up there in the heavens
where Jesus does live.
My friend is now waiting
and again, plays with kids.

I THINK i should make that a bit smaller...........

but if you say happy words, your going to be happy, aswell other users! just think about what can happen. like, you will get a new doggy.

Oh, all our happy memories,
Seem so far away today,
Even though it was only,
Actually yesterday.

Afloat upon the ocean,
We were alone together,
And all our happy days there,
I will treasure them...Forever.

You were my best freind,
I was yours.
We together, ran,
From shore to shore.

Take my hand,
Oh, best freind, and
Step into the light.

I hope I didn't anger any one of you. If you lost a friend, remember them.

Ah, that is a sweet poem. I am a dog-lover but I am a little disappointed today.

My neighbors dog came in my garage this weekend, snatched our cat from my kids and fatally wounded her...while the family watched...it was truely traumatic. I was not angry at the dog...he came and licked my crying face immediately afterwards...sigh...but I wish the owners would've trained or kept up with him better. They had allowed the dog to run loose and catch strays. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell the difference when it was a pet.

It is sad, and if the owners don't take care, the dog will suffer. As loyal family members they deserve better.

Dont't ask me where I got it. Sorry about the cat. Some owner let his dog chase my cat, too. Luckily for me, she escaped.
