Calamity Kris Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Uno and I went to dinner this evening. We were celebrating our new home, the three day weekend and a few other things. We came home to find our elder dog lying on the stairs to the deck. He passed away on the way to the vet. God speed, Booker. We love you and miss you big guy. Wish we could have been there for you. Thanks for listening.
Subdeacon Joe Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I'm so sorry for your loss. In some ways having a pet die is harder than having a human relative die.
Jim No Horse Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Kris...so sorry for the loss of your Booker...my thoughts and prayers are with you both.....Jim
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Sorry to hear of your loss. I know how it hurts. Miss Captain Jack every day. Just think Booker in a better place where he can bark at squirrels and chase rabbits all day.
Ace_of_Hearts Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 There is a special place in heaven for dogs. Unconditional loyalty and love does not go unnoticed. They will be there to great us if and when we arrive.
Shorty Jack Hammer Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Sorry to hear that, sad to lose a good friend
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Aww, Kris... I'm so sorry to read this. Booker and his people family are in my prayers tonight...

Rancocas Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Sorry to hear about Booker. Dogs are a special gift to man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDrabmm421I
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 So sorry. I know it hurts, been there more times than I care to recall. We had to euthanize our beloved Mr. Shorty in Dec. At least you didn't have to go thru that. Dogs rarely have the consideration to just up and die. Su amigo, JHC

Subdeacon Joe Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Oh, that's GOOD! Wish whoever did it hadn't used that blurry font, though. Very hard to read it. I googled it - it's gonna go onto my Facebook page.
Calamity Kris Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Thanks everyone. He had a good life. We're sure he's chasing footballs with his soul mate Bonnie who left us a couple of years ago. Dogs never do leave you as they remain in your heart forever. {thump thump thump}
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Yeah, but it is still hard to let go of them. Hope you and Uno are doing OK.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Best way to help mend your broken heart, is to get another Dog. They give us more, than we could ever give them-- OLG
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Kris, sent you a PM.
Clay Mosby Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 So sorry to hear this Kris. We lost two 6 weeks apart last summer and it hurt like hell. But at the same time we could smile through the tears knowing they were once again playing together. We adopted our 1st German Shepherd 3 days after the second passed and he has done wonders in helping heal the hole Arlo and Zeller had left behind.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I've had a lot of dogs go on ahead and miss all of them very much. The last two were the hardest. We got a little chihuahua miniature pinscher mix just after Christmas this year, 16 very long months since our boy Peanut left. We named her Trinket because she was so tiny. She is the reason God hung the sun and she knows it. I really think she saved my sanity because I was depressed beyond belief and couldn't tell anyone about it. I just simply didn't have the words. Enjoy the memories, mourn at your own sped, and when you're ready adopt another dog. You deserve it and so will the dog.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 A child's parents decided the lad should be present when they put down their old dog. It was his time; the stilling of his faithful heart was a blessing, a relief from the pain he'd endured. Of all present, only the child shed no tears, and he explained later, when the adults were discussing their guilt: "Dogs don't live as long as we do 'cause they don't have to. "We're here to learn stuff. Like love one another and do good and stuff like that. Dogs know that already so they don't have to stay so long." Will Rogers said it right when he said, "If dogs don't go to heaven, then when I die, I want to go where dogs go." My hand on your shoulder, dear heart. I know the whap whap whap myself.
Lorelei Longshot, SASS #44256 Life Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 So sorry for your loss. I know you have many great memories though. Every time we have lightening and thunder, I remember Princess barking like crazy trying to make it go away. At least now I don't cry every time it thunders anymore. I also remember her herding all the kids into the corner of the backyard once. She was a Sheltie, and they are known for herding. Our daughter was probably 5 years old at the time, and she's 32 now so it was quite a few years ago. The tears will stop with time, but the memories will remain.
Grumpy Old Man Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Sorry for your loss, Kris. Know what your feelin. Had to put down Our 15 1/2 year old Lab 2 weeks ago.
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Sorry to hear this Miz Kris. They always take a piece of you when they go
