4My2Greys Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Five hours ago, we had a dog. We now have a collar, and our memories. This is very foreign (my first dog) and heartrending, and numbing at the same time. I know that sickening feeling all too well. I'm so sorry to read of Aston's passing.

Guest MnMDogs Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I am devastated to see his name here... I feel like I knew him, and he was certainly a very much loved, and lucky hound to have found you. Sending you strength to get through this terrible time.

o_rooly Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Oh no We just met on here, and I just saw this. I'm so sorry!!! What happened? Simply put, his body was getting ready to go; he wasn't. It was awful, for us, but I think (or at least, strongly hope) that for him, it was just a whooooole lot of those awesome alligator cookies and therefore the best day ever, and then nap time.

o_rooly Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I can't say how much everyone's kind words mean to me, and my husband. Thank you so very much. The tears come and go in waves, but there is a constant pain in my chest and stomach. I haven't had to ingest this much Pepto Bismol since my first heartbreak at age 19. This is perhaps only the second time my heart has completely broken, and I'm even a grownup now. with safeguards against that kind of thing. I know how very fortunate we were to have as much time with him as we did. And we tried, we really did, to buy him as much *quality* time as we could. I'm trying to keep in mind that this was really a best-case scenario given his age and health problems, but tell that to my body. and my mind won't stop asking questions, and I've already told it the answers.... so. many. times.I know that these are familiar feelings to so many on this board, and I'm rehashing old news. But I am so grateful to this community for being here, and to Jeff and Trudy (and Wendy!) for putting the effort in to keep it running. Quote every day a tiny adventure.

SPDoggie Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 "and I'm even a grownup now" doesn't help at all, does it?

o_rooly Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Aston's ashes came home today, encased in a pretty little brocade box.I set the box and his pawprint in a quiet place on our dresser in our bedroom, and then left the house to take my wee parrot to get groomed.I returned to find that my husband had left for work, but while I was away, he had collected items and placed them around Aston's box to make a small shrine. We miss our sweet buddy. Quote every day a tiny adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
