I lost my best friend Saturday...

Your post really touched me, for it reminded me of the loss of our little Boo-Boo in November of last year. He too developed cancer the year before, and my wife, bless her heart, nursed him back to relative health and gave him another relatively good year of life.

Just a little anecdote: last year around December my wife asked what I'd like to have for Christmas, and I jokingly observed that when I was a little boy I had always wanted a snow globe, but no one had ever given me one. On Christmas morning I opened a package from my wife, and wasn't really surprised to find it contained a big snow globe, which I promptly shook and held up with a laugh of amused surprise. I then watched as the snowflakes cleared to reveal, inside the globe, a picture of little Boo-Boo. I'm not ashamed to say that I broke down right then and there and cried.

We now have a wonderful Sheltie named Dickens, and though I'm not really superstitious, I could swear that he's the second coming of little Boo-Boo!
 
I'm so sorry. I think you did the right thing--you spared him suffering, and showed him how much you love him, right up to the end. Please be kind to yourself. He wouldn't want you to suffer, any more than you wanted him to.
 
Prayers of peace for you and your family. Your dear Crash is at the feet of his maker, crashing into things and spreading his love. He will live forever in your heart.
 
Every tear you now shed represents a moment of joy that Crash gave you in his life. He relied on you for all those years and you didn't let him down in the end. Please accept my condolences for this sad and unexpected loss of your best friend.

Scotty, I am so sorry this is the way we have to meet you for the first time. Please accept my condolensences for your loss of your best friend. We do know that Crash is at the Bridge, waiting for you, but the best part of that is, Crash has been made whole again and he does not hurt any more. Will you ever forget? Of course not, but with time it will get a little easier. I had to send my beautiful Angel, Bambi across the Bridge a little over 4 years ago, what I did to help me through some of the pain, I made my own little "Memorial" to my baby girl. I kept a couple of her favorite toys, her "baby" (a stuffed Koala), ball and collar and tags, and placed my favorite picture right in the middle. Now whenever the need arises, I can sit and visit with her for awhile, we "talk" and it does help. I send my throughts and prayers to you and your family on this, your most devastating loss.

Have good puppy dreams, I will see you after while, goodnight sweet baby, I love you.

Scotty, Time will help heal your pain. There will be days in the not to distant future when you will be able to look at pictures, smile and remember when Crash walked beside you, your buddy. I have my dear Collie (Lady Caroline) and my rescue (Annie) waiting and playing at the rainbow bridge. I allowed myself to love again this time with my dear sheltie Cosey. Give yourself time, be kind to yourself, and allow your heart to heal.
With sympathy,
Ellen (Cosey'smom)
 
Crash KNOWS he was a well loved dog. You did right by him all the way to the end. Beau sends the love of a wet nose and a wiggly butt
 
Reading your post brought me to tears. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you did the right thing for him.. I am sure it wasn't easy. He was clearly so loved and I'm glad he had such a wonderful life with you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Think of the good times and remember he will always be with you in your heart.
 
It is amazing how much pain our hearts can hold, sometimes feeling like it is overflowing with grief for these furry four legged love of our lives. I have buried all my past pets but my one blue siamese girls who was my heart kitty, she is in a chinese urn and I could not part with her. I miss her years later.
I do tell my new little furry loves because I loved her so much and she loved me as well, I have love over flowing and have to give it away. I tell them you were choosen for me to give you the over abundance of her love. Silly I know but I sit and tell them all about her and why she was so special and I feel like they listen and understand. For years I couldn't have a dog because I worked 2 jobs but now I have my doggy I dreamed of I hope my heart can handle this cup that runneth over.
I can hear your broken painful heart and your incredible love and respect for your Crash, how wonderful you had spent years in this life together. I just bet the walk through the house and the talk you had meant the world to her and sent her off with an incredible amount of love to take along.
