turbotaina Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have tried multiple times to write a fitting tribute to my boy, who left us quite suddenly on Saturday. Nothing I can say is adequate. He was just the best dog in the world. I'll try to post pics and write something more suitable later. In the meantime, this is how I will always remember him and when it comes my time to die, I hope this is the first thing I see: Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

queenwinniesmom Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Oh, no! My heart sank when I saw his name. Though I didn't know him well, I've always thought of Turbo as larger than life---in his beauty, his joy, in the love the two of you shared. I know your heart is breaking, and we are sharing your sadness. I'm so, so sorry you lost your precious boy.

NeylasMom Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have yet to write Neyla's remembrance so I understand the struggle. There is no doubt Turbo was a special dog, with a huge personality and a not to be topped love of both couches and food. He will be so missed.

DaisyDoodle Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Oh, Meredith, I'm so sorry. Donna PS Regarding your wish I'm quite sure it will come true. A friend's aunt was terminally ill with cancer. Her heart stopped and they revived her, as she had always been very afraid of dying. But when she woke up, she was angry that they had revived her. She explained that her little French Poodle, FiFi I believe, was on the other side madly licking her face, so happy to see her once again. She asked that she be allowed to go the next time something happened and her family agreed. Since my BFF told me that story, it's allowed me to be sure that my pups will be there to meet me, as I'm sure Turbo and all your others will for you too. ETA for emoti malfunction.
