Hw goes on with your many years of love.

sounds like a wonderful furbaby. And you sound like a wonderful mom.

some of your feelings. Safe journey Pippen, I will light a candle for you and your human tonight.

And my heart is breaking for you. Love for and from a dog is like no other.

They are, indeed, family. It is so hard to let them go.

I wish you all peace.

...and he wouldn't have even asked you for that much.

Your post is so heartfelt and full of love and despair that it made me really choke up. Though you may not believe you've told us all about Pippin, you've told us the most vital things, and it rings out clearly through your whole post.


Bless you for giving such excellent love and care to all your fur babies and for helping your dear Pippin on his final journey.

By the way, I had to run and hug my doggie long before I got to the part where you suggested we do. But in both your's and Pippin's honor I ran and hugged him again after I read the whole thing.

I want to cry, he is an angel, they all are. I will hug my girl extra at lunch when I go home to let her potty and play some ball with her. Every moment is so precious.

I'm honored you shared him with us. I live in fear of losing my Bear, who also saved my life, though hopefully I'll have him for another 6 or 7 years. When he goes, my mind and my body be paralyzed and I will be absolutely unable to share his story. You are blessed to have had your Pippin for so many years - almost two decades! I'm sorry for your loss but forever grateful for your love of him.

Those of us who have lost our beloved furkids know of the pain you are experiencing. We lost our Sammy exactly one year ago and I still miss her very much. I wish you peace in the coming days and weeks as you deal with the loss of your best friend.

so sad to say goodbye but we all take that road, all will be well. love never dies.

My Pippin left this world about a half an hour ago. He was eighteen, deaf and blind. He had nothing left but he stayed with me in the darkest times I've ever had. I'm on my feet now and I think that sort of made the decision for both of us.

Dogs are God spelled backwards. That is no coincidence.

Thank you, all of you for your kindness. I wish I could tell you how much it means to me but I think most of you already know. He was my last boy out of six, the little one that had a sassy personality, who hummed to himself and was just good. I will miss him but I'm happy that his suffering is over.

Thank you so much and take care. Know you are loved,

Cathy aka Roguevalley, mother of Gretchen, Pippin, Andrew, Tippy, Robby and Timmy. all deceased. (As I write this, a moose is in the yard eating on my trees. Life goes on.)

I know the hurt well. I wish I could take away your pain.

know that your baby is not suffering any more. RIP Pippin.

Pippin's mama.

I'm crying now; your eloquence really got me. I've been there too. Grief is so hard.

Pippin will live on forever in your memories, and the love he gave you over the years is still there, yours to keep forever.

Sending you good thoughts.

Pippen. I am so sorry for your loss but you did have many wonderful years.

You wrote such a lovely story, and I could feel your pain. My eyes are leaking.....better get a tissue.

RIP, Pippin.

for a beautiful dog from a beautiful person...you deserved each other!

We had two dachshunds when I was a kid. Loved them to death. They were Petty 1 and later Petty 2. I remember when you had Pinnin as an avatar back when Obama was running...such a cute dog...looked like ours...who were mini's.

I'm so very, very sorry for your loss. I went through that with my 16 year old Jack Russell 4 years ago and I still think of him almost daily. We all know how you anguished over that decision and unfortunately most of us have to have done the same.

Get some much needed sleep tonight.

how much you helped me and how important you are. It is so weird not having to run home after work to take care of my little boy not even knowing how much he was taking care of me. I hug you all. Thank you all for taking a minute to acknowledge a truly remarkable little dog. i knew this would be the place to come. Thank you all.

and I am so very sorry.

I had a horse like that. He just could not go on but he tried and I know he tried for me because we had been so close to the end so many times. I had to let him go peacefully last July. Still can't write about it, miss him like someone took my heart. He took it and he can keep it, grand old fellow he was.

Sending hugs and thoughts to help you through. Pippin will know why and thank you for easing him. I can't write more, there is something in both of my eyes. Be easy roguevalley, the ultimate act of love is yours to give. He will come back, they always do.

EDIT So sorry, I did not see the date I hope you are well

My babies collars are on the top of the stair rail. I say hello to them every morning when I go to work. They are always with e.


Forever.
