2_Lazygreys Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 After a long courageous battle with the dreaded "C" word and LP it was time to say goodbye. We made it one last weekend of favorite foods, really slow walks to smell the world, laying in the bed getting ear rubs, snuggling without a care in the world. I talked to him about the first time I got to met him, he wasn't even one of the three I had emailed that I wanted to meet. I instantly fell in love with him and asked if I could walk him for a bit. After all of the paperwork was filled out I remember loading him up in the car and telling my friend “oh s***, he takes up the WHOLE backseat”! Red was nice enough to hold back his vomit until we pulled up to my friends house to let a weeks worth of food to spew everywhere in the back seat of the car…another oh s*** moment. Then getting home and having to call my friend to let him know “he looked a lot smaller at the kennels and what did I get myself into”. Then the first three months I swore Red hated me because every time I walked into the room he was in he would move to another. It seemed as though the only time he tolerated me was when it was time to walk and get treats. Then it clicked and I gained a shadow that always wanted to see what I was doing. I fell in love with all of his quarks and that is probably what I am going to miss the most. I laid in the floor at the vet and looked him in the eye and told him again how much I loved him and to find Gypsy and Sadie and to listen to Sadie because Gypsy always got him into trouble. He peacefully closed his eyes and drifted off. Gypsy (86423/100A) and Red Dawn (88498/30A) gone, but will never be forgotten: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
