Joe Anne Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Although words never seem enough, Borderbob's wit, words and the awesome pictures of him and his dogs enjoying each other's company and playing, warms our hearts now and always.He is and has been in my thoughts for some time now. He will be sorely missed! And as others have said what a beautiful way to honor your Dad, by caring for his dogs that he loved so. I am sure that was one thing he didn't have to worry about, knowing you would watch over his friends. We are all here to help in anyway we possibly can. Never worry about asking any question or asking for help or advice or if you just want to chat. We have all loved and lost at one time or another in our lives and we know the pain you must have in your heart now. Again please know how well respected your Dad was/IS, to all of us who had the pleasure of chatting with him.. I am so sorry...God Bless and take care. ((((hugs to you, and Bob's dogs)))).

Eileen Stein Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Bob, I am so sorry. Your dad's posts showed what a great guy he was -- sensible and funny and brave. I have been thinking about him and wondering how he was doing, and yes, I will keep him in my heart for a while. When the winter comes, keep the fires lit, and he will be right next to you. If we can be any help to you with the dogs, you have only to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan M. & Skipper, Annie and Ben Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Dear Borderbob, I'm at a loss for things to say... Please accept my condolences. I lost my dad just over 2 years ago and I understand how painful and difficult it can be. Your dad's beloved dogs are lucky to have you to depend on and love now that he is gone and I hope they bring you comfort and a reason to smile every day. Please post whenever you want to reach out or ask advice about the dogs. We're lucky to have some very knowledgeable and helpful people here. Take care.

urge to herd Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Oh, Bob, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. His love for his animals really showed when he posted here. You all must miss him very much. And, I loved your dad's 'tag' line. Since we say something very similar a lot around here, it always made me smile when I saw that tag, and even when I'd just say it to one of ours. "Go get your ball", we'll all miss you.

By your words you have demonstated to me that his spirit lives on through his family. My sincern condolences go out to you and your family in your time of grief.

Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." Chief Aupumut, Mohican. 1725 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
