I Miss My Dog

Sorry. Had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. He was my shadow for almost 16 years. Had heart problem but with meds he was strong as an ox. He would run with a neighbor and do two miles each evening. When he was dying I sat and layed with him for two days and nights. He waited till I ran inside early the third day and when I came back he had died. You could have cut off my right arm and I wouldn't have felt as bad as losing my best friend. Still tears my eyes right now and he is gone for almost ten years.
I can tell you something weird about his death. One night I was on my front porch to smoke a cigarette, and you can believe me or not but I had a voice come to me that said, "Don't worry, I have him. " talked to wifes minister and he said that some things in the Bible say no but there is a part that does say that some animal spirits do go to the next world after death. I hope so, I would love to see him again if I get there.

--still can be a teddy bear

sienna awww that is very sad to read I am sorry you are taking this so hard obviously they are more than pets they are part of your family and that is why I think it hurts so much

Good evening miss debi. How are you doing girl.
@sienna. She (debi) is lovely

I would never watch a woman in the shower wash her maybe but not watch her

I think there are several areas that lay claim to great bbq but I like texas bbq the best

Thanks! You're doing a good job, too. You're the best xx

even the simpsons have made fun of the Japanese killing whales

Wow, the two most intelligent breeds rolled into one! And hehe, yeah, I love the feistiness of Jack Russells. It's like they don't believe they're small dogs.

I'd love another dog but I live on my own and it wouldn't be fair. If I meet someone and we live together, I would, though. It's such a quite house without a dog in it.

@GlassDog, you're right, it's only fair on the dog if you can give it all the love and attention it deserves. A house does feel empty without a dog though! Yes, Jack Russells are very cheeky! They definitely think they're big dogs and are more than willing to take on any big dogs they encounter!! x

Me too. When I woke up at 6am to let her out into the garden, it was always a horrible realisation that she no longer needed to be let out. There were so many reminders, like her toys, and her bowl, and her collar. Dogs leave such a hole when they go, but I guess this only proves just how much we loved them.

We get to be with certain spirits while we are here and we need to treat them as equals. He was a dog but he learned things I have never known a dog to know. I have trained all the family dogs since I was a kid. Chester was my first dog that was my friend and not someone elses.

I can try to sneak over lol

--------still miss my dog :(

Missouri has the best BBQ

----can be a teddy bear

love he new pic debi

sounds like a plan debi

Yeah, they're definitely worth it. This is the first time in my life without a dog and I feel lost. I always had Jack Russells. What about you?

well I think it was a predator around here like a bobcat I told my neighbor if I see a bobcat I will terminate with extreme predjudice

@Debi, keep this one too. So pretty! Haha I think we'll have trouble finding any that you can chuck!

now is our summer while yours is winter. and here people are already complaining about hot hot it is

@Debi, at least you know they'll be well cared for with your folks :-) @Vet, oooh, wish we had raccoons here!

I had a boston terrier disappeared one night and grew up with a Chihuahua that lived to be 21 yrs old

This sounds stupid but I would feel like I was replacing her. I have her picture above my fireplace.
