 Can You Hear Me Now?
Location: When you hit the middle of nowhere .. Keep driving | The vet said he was basically paralyzed so at least he had no pain. He agrees he did something traumatic on Tuesday to cause it. He went peacefully in my arms after eating his bacon cheese burger, onion rings and going for an extra long 3 hour car ride... He didn't want the sundae or the top half of the burger bun. The whole time he was happy and never once lost his sparkle in his eye. It's breaking my heart to know I won't wake up to his paw on me, or his cold nose on the small of my back, his bark when he thinks he hears the ghost car just to go outside. The next trip I make won't be the same without my sidekick basically taking me out to get to the car when I say all packed let's go. He's back with his best buddies Louie a beagle, Jordan another shepherd, and flip my old rabbit who he guarded religiously. I told him we will see each other again, that I loved him and I know he will be sitting on the edge of the cement deck looking over his farm and horses like he loved to do.
Here is my one last picture of him. He was watching the people get their food and was getting excited in the drive thru.

Location: Phoenix | I unexpectedly lost my little girl to a coyote. We found her alive, so she was warm and safe at the vets when she passed. Find comfort knowing that he is happy and surrounded by people that love him. My heart breaks for you. Losing my dog was probably the hardest thing I've ever been through. Hang in there. |

Location: stray dump capital of the world | What an absolutely stunning boy. My heart breaks for you, but he is letting you know it is time. I put my 15 year old husky down. Her body gave out even though mentally she was swift. It is never easy. Sending some prayers your way. |

| My dad always told me to judge people by the way they treated their animals. Sounds like you're one of the good ones. He was a lucky dog to be missed so dearly. |

| I am reading this with tears in my eyes. It has been 2 years since we lost Walker. There is not a day that he isn't missed. Remember the good times. It will get easier. |
