This is just a quiet way to say you were the best.

[winder*wonder]

I'm not the worlds greatest animal lover. Nor am I one to be the most sentimental when a pet passes away. But today thats all differnet for me.

My familys dog Baron was a saint Binard (like the dog in Cujo or Bethoveen) and he was truly one of the best dogs in the world. This dog would lay his head on your lap when you were sick just to be by you. He would always always always follow no matter where you went just to keep you company. I could lay my head on his stomach and fall asleep with him and wake up with him licking my forehead. He looked out for my littlest sister and made sure she stayed out of trouble. He would play in the snow and bring you with him to do it.

Last saturday Baron started to stop eating and drinking. This went on for a couple days, where he would only take the water by eating little bits of snow. He wouldnt move or walk. Yesturday I was finally able to take him to the vet and see what as wrong. They found a lump on his stomach and decided he needed emergancy surgery. They removed the lump and said he was going to be alright. But somehow during the night Bear (his nickname) just got too tired and passed away.

I have never felt this way for a pet, dont get me wrong i lvoe all my pets but Bear was expectional. I my heart died a little when I found out and thought I would tell the world here how amazing he was, for his memory.
I love you Bear.

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you truly cared for each other. It sometimes seems odd, the depth of compassion we can have for an animal, but your memories remind us why it is so.

Sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a pet. The pictures are adorable. The one of him in the kitchen looks like he is making sure things are being done correctly. Very cute.

I'm so sorry to hear this. It's really hard to lose a pet; especially one you really connect with like that. :squeeze:

Re: This is just a quiet way to say you were the best.

Im sorry hun, Losing an animal is like losing a family member, My deepest thoughts are with you and nothing I can say can make you feel better but just know that you gave him a great life, with love, compassion, and a great home. He loved you and you will always love him and nothing will ever take that away.

Sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a pet, and it definitely sucks.

Re: This is just a quiet way to say you were the best.

I am sorry to hear about this. It just seems so unfair to have those we love get taken from us, and it feels even worse when everyone else is in a celebratory mood. Losing loved one is never easy.

The most I can offer is my sympathy.

Your sigh breaks my heart, Heartfelt hugs from all of us to you and your family. Its life and its not fair. Just know he will rest and have free reign on those 20 acres, tail waggin diggin holes and chasing birds and rolling around getting dirty having a ball. My heart goes out to you.

Awww, he looks like such a wonderful dog too. I can tell just from a few photos how much he meant to you. Very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry winter! We had a St. Bernard named Murphy. He passed away 2 years ago - from a tumor that ruptured his spleen. I know how hard it must be on you!!!

Re: This is just a quiet way to say you were the best.

Sorry for your loss. I completely understand how you feel. I will absolutely die when my dog Pippin dies. I keep telling her she'll live forever but she's nearing 6 and I think corgis only live to about 15.

Re: This is just a quiet way to say you were the best.

He looks like such a cutie. What was the lump, exactly? Cancer?

I'm sorry. I hope time brings you comfort and at least you know that Bear is now in a better place and pain free. :squeeze:

Your Pets In Heaven

by Ken D. Conover
To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.
Your Pets In Heaven

What a beautiful doggie!! We have a border collie that has some St. Bernard in her and her name is Bear too! Looking at the face of your dog I see ours... and I know how much you are hurting with them gone now. They love us without question, without reservations and they leave a hole in our world when they are gone. :squeeze:
