WalterWallerson Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Ernest T, Ernesto Fiesto Del Fuego, Ernie died suddenly on Oct 3rd after a recent osteosarcoma diagnosis. Ernie was 10 years old. Ernie jumped and leaped around the backyard, he was a goofy, snuggley doofus. He liked to poke things around the house and watch them move. When he poked the tissues or other light objects and they fell down, he was always so surprised that happened and would jump away. He liked looking out windows, laying in sun spots and playing and snuggling with his favorite toy Mr Giraffe. Ernie had about 4 brain cells that helped him stay alive because he liked to dig holes, eat grass, throw up in the house and if he felt like we weren't trying our best to get home on time, poop/pee in the house for fun. Ernie had the best ears, they were always doing something different. When I would put his collar on, I would move them around and gently rearrange as they were before. He could stand them up but it seemed like it took one too many brain cells to do that. In so many ways, Ernie was a 75lb child that liked to nap. He liked getting his belly rubbed and would often roll onto his back so you could get full access to the whole belly.

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...

Shannon Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 It is evident how much you understood, loved, and still love Ernie. I can identify with your descriptions of his funny and unique personality traits, his quirky habits, his expressions. When I think about my dogs I have now, and the ones I’ve lost, it’s these sorts of things that make me smile and remind me of how lucky I am to know this profound and deep dog love. Even though it hurts so much to say goodbye . I’m so very sorry for your loss and wish you peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
