MicheleS. Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 He's been my loyal buddy for 13 years. He was my very first obedience partner. Today I had to make the heartwrenching decision to set him free from the body that was failing him. Run free and play ball to your heart's content. You will always be with me. You were such a good boy. 'Exercise Finished' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicheleS. Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for your kind words, they mean alot. This was a tough one.... he was a really good dog. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea4th Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 It's never easy, but it's particularly harder with a dog that's so special. And I have this feeling that your words about him were just skimming the surface of how you felt about him, and releasing him is a testament to your love for him. Rest gently, old boy and know that you were well loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BustopherJones Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I lost a treasured friend today, The little dog who used to lay His gentle head upon my knee And share his silent thoughts with me... He'll come no longer to my call, Retrieve no more his favorite ball; A voice far greater than my own Has called him to His golden throne. Although my eyes are filled with tears, I thank Him for the happy years He let him spend down here with me And for his love and loyalty. When it is time for me to go And join him there, this much I know... I shall not fear the transient dark For he will greet me with his bark. ~ Author Unknown Via con Dios, beloved friend.

Hughie was an incredibly special dog and yes, I did only skim the surface of how I feel about him. It has to stay in my heart for now.
