Sherman #369 He is gone.

[pitc9]

Pat, please know that I'm here for you.

Please give a kiss and a hug to Sherman from his fur-ever sweetheart Sierra and myself.

You are doing the right thing for Sheman.
It's not fair what has happened to him, and it also wouldn't be fair to let him suffer any longer.

Millions of {{{hugs}}] being sent to you all.

OMG.......I really had to reread......... I was hoping My eyes were betraying me...... I´m so sad........I feel it as if he was my own.......

I know we are selfish for trying to make them stay longer, and I wish my selfishness would help Sherman stay longer, but as you said it´s not fair for him to be like this and why should we prolong his suffer....... It´s really har but you sure a re putting his well being over yours and ours...... Poor Shermie boy....... sending Hugs and more hugs...... I wish this had never happened, but know you were loved by many, some that had never met you either but wish they did *raises hand*.......

Rosey will be such a joy to have you welcomed at the RB..... play hard and watch out for mommy, daddy and Star, as they will miss you so much just as we all on PT will........you were a great boy and will always be in our hearts.... have a nice trip gorgeous boy...... Ninja and China send wooos

I knew I would read this at some point, but it just made me burst out into tears. I'm so sorry=( Godspeed Sherman, your momma will miss you and so will the rest of us here. I am just so sorry.

My heart breaks for you and your family. You are so brave to let Sherman go before he is in too much pain. I am truly sorry that you have to part with your baby so soon, but God needs him now.

I said a prayer that Sherman has a beautiful welcome into heaven, and that my precious Graham is one of the many souls who will bring him in.

I am so sorry.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Gosh, I don't know what to say. I'm bawling.

I know this is what is best for Sherman but it breaks my heart into a million pieces. You are definitely in my thoughts today.

((((HUGS))))

Good luck at the bridge, Shermie.. say Hi to Tink for me.

[K9soul]

no dry eyes here. I don't know what to say. Sherman could not have asked for a better family. Please give him kisses. He will pass peacefully knowing how deeply loved he is. We love you Sherman.. Our hearts are breaking Oh how it hurts to say goodbye for now...

[Grace]

God Speed, Sherman.

A Dog's Prayer

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footsteps falls upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted worshiper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.

And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest - and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.

I've lit a candle to help guide the way, Sherman.

I'm at work so I can't view this thread for very long....LES

RIP sweet Sherman. You are so loved by so many people all around the world.

[Freedom]

Prayers to all of you. I know how hard this is, as do all of us on PT. Sweet Sherman, so many people love you SO much!

[gini]

All of us with a very heavy heart will be grieving with you. I guess we just have to focus on a joyous reunion at the Rainbow Bridge for Sherman and picture him running - pain free - having fun - until you meet again.

Hu-Mom and Dad, and of course Star,
We are so sorry to hear of this news. We are crying with you, as we know what it's like to lose a dog you're so close to. Please know we've been thinking of you and lifting you up in prayer. We know it's not an easy time...but hang in there. Take care all. We miss you at the Findlay dog park!
Love,
Nathan and Joy Anderson and Bailey
