I need your prayers

I decided to do a light painting as quoted by my friend "the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long."



Not perfect but I just don't even want to think about this project, with every hour that passes the pain gets worse.

 

I'm sorry you lost your friend. I lost the only dog I ever had ,Jessie,-- it's like a piece of my heart is gone. They love us unconditionally and that means something.

 

awww hun Im soooo sorry to hear that! *Hugs*

The painting/photo you took is gorgeous!

 

I'm sorry to hear the bad news.

 

big giant hugs to ya babes, sry to hear the bad news...keep him in your heart forever......

 

Thanks guys, MichaelPhelps, that illustration was really touching as he was a German Shepherd.

We'll be able to bring him home in two weeks. it seems such a long time away, we've never been separated for any longer than a few hours.

 

i'm really really sorry to hear that hdh. <3
my cat died in may, very painful.

have you heard the rainbow bridge poem? cheesy as, but sweet.

 

it's never easy is it? You know they're not going to live a long life in comparison to yours but you still set yourself up for that inevitable heartbreak.

Yeah I know rainbow bridge. Just had another scan of it. I'm in tears again. I just can't believe he was fine yesterday morning then 9 hours later we were saying our goodbyes

 

So sorry lady. Wish there was somethin I could say/do to make things the slightest bit better. Stay strong.You know you hated see'ing him in such a bad condition and he would hate to see you in such a bad condition.

 

this thread brought a tear to my eye I just feel heart broken for you and your husband.
I can't imagine how you must feel, I've never been close to an animal like you were but loss is one of the hardest things to deal with and I hope you and your husband can help each other get through it. Thinking of you Claire <3

 

There's nothing anyone could say to make me feel better. Although having my e fwrends there for me means a lot

You don't even want to know how it feels. It is almost, almost like having a child die.

We're both dying inside. I don't know if it's me being silly but every so often, when I am hysterically crying, I feel a breeze on my face and then his familiar smell. I really believe he is with us trying to numb the pain.

My wedding anniversary is coming up in a few weeks and my husband had a wonderful idea for us to chip in together to get a massive canvas of this for our wedding anniversary present as it just sums him up to a T:



We're going to settle down under a duvet with a pizza and we're going to watch 'All Dogs Go To Heaven', my husband doesn't think it's a good idea but I need to do a lot of grieving before work tomorrow.

I kept thinking of seeing him during that seizure and I die inside.

 

So sorry to hear about your loss. I know exactly how you feel. I lost my mate about 2 years ago now and I still miss him to pieces. He was like my best friend, I had known him even longer than my best mate, and had had him for the majority of my life so far. He use to be the one I could just talk to when I didn't feel like talking to others, despite the fact I knew he couldn't understand me, he always felt just so comforting and was the most gentle and compassionate dog. I know I cried for ages when he passed away, and I still miss him so much now.
Hope you feel a bit better soon

 

Ah yea, it didn't sound right but I couldn't remember

That print is gorgeous, what a good anniversary present idea. God, so sorry again

 

Thanks, yesterday was a little easier, had lots of condolences from the pub goers which was nice as we hadn't told them. We had a bit of a laugh when they kept telling us jokes they'd ripped from Sickipedia.

We had a laugh at home trolling some marriage forums seeking out threads where wives were feeling cheated on because their husband like to have a wank of porn.

Today was tough though, we went to the local tattooist because Phil wants a portrait of him of his leg but they can't do portraits so I booked to get "the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long".

Feels really weird without a dog, Phil would like another dog in time, but I'm not so sure. We're not getting another Alsatian, too much for any other to live up to.

 

As you know,time will heal your heart,but of course you'll never forget your pal. There are so many neglected dogs --I'm sure that after a proper amount of time ,you will be able to share your love with a new pal that needs it.

 

I think we'd go down the breeder route again. From personal experience, shelters don't seem to have the best interest of the dog at heart. I know the same can be said for breeders but we go for breeders with brilliant rep

I'm not saying all shelters are corrupt but most I've dealt with are, infact the BBC wanted to interview me for a documentary about one shelter in particular back up North.

I do admire those that can offer a dog in need a home, but I prefer to have that lifelong support and know the complete history of a dog from birth.

I know my comments will no doubt upset a few people who read this, but if it does I'm sorry. Please can you PM me rather than start a debate in a thread for my best friend.

 

That picture of him is absolutely stunning.

 

Iknowrite? I remember we kept kicking snow at him that day which is why he has snow on his nose and he absolutely loved it and kept begging to have more snow kicked at him. We had so much fun that day. Ohh and when we were crossing this small iced over brook he stayed with me incase I fell so I could grab on to him.

 

That made me smile and tingle a little(hope that makes sense and doesn't seem odd). <3

 

Doesn't seem odd at all! He was such a great dog, he makes people he never met over the Atlantic, smile and tingle. That's my dog all over.
