smurfette Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I felt like you when I lost my first dog. He was special in every way. I learned so much from him - about dogs and about myself, about being a team, about trust. Sometimes I get teary thinking of him and it's 10 years now that he went to the bridge. I guess it is supposed to be like that. But mostly I smile when I detect some little quirks of him in my boys. Olo love to bark at the fence with the neighbour's dog like Colin, he hated to go out in the rain just like Paddy and loved people, especially kids but despised unknown dogs just like Andy. And when we are together as a family with my parents and my sister we often talk about him and allmthise things we experienced together. Anybody could talk to my younger sister without Olo screaming bloody murder at him or Olo pursuing a police officer and my mom frantically racing after him because sometimes he decided to stop the friendly act. And one day during agility class he decided to stay on the A-hurdle because he was the biggest and nobody could reach him. And I was desperately trying to get him down and all the other dog owners laughed at me. It was a good time and wouldn't want to miss it. So today I can smile through my tears and think that my life would have less sadness if I never met him butcalso less joy. Quote Sorry for butchering the english language. I try to keep the mistakes to a minimum. Nadine with Paddy (Zippy Mullane), Saoirse (Lizzie Be Nice), Abu (Cillowen Abu) and bridge angels Colin (Dessies Hero) and Andy (Riot Officer).

DesiRayMom Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I just lost my best boy 2 days ago. I don't think I'll ever get over it either. For now, all I'm doing is sitting, staring at the wall, wishing I had him back. Quote Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.
