It's already been 5 years...

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Gosh, does time fly. It's been five years this Monday (the 23rd) since my beloved Border collie, Bandit, passed away. Oh Bandit, I miss you SO very much, and always will. You were a special boy to me, and I'll never ever forget you...those sweet eyes, welcoming tail-wags, slobbery kisses when I was sad, and just a comfort in good times and in bad. When I had to make that awful decision to put you through surgery which was not a guranteed recovery, or let you go in peace, it tore me to pieces! But I know you are in a better place now romping free and happily pain free! I miss you bud, but you're always in my heart.

I love you sweet boy!

Love,

Katie

I know you're still thinking of him, he must have loved you too!

I can imagine him, your special loving bandit in that picture has been romping on arces, arces freely, gone but not forgotten by you.

have you recollect pictures of him or made any keepsake of him? (((hugs))) katie.

Thank you everyone! Your thoughts mean a lot!

Yes, I have a photo album just for Bandit, Gina. That's where all my pictures went before we had a digital camera, so I never got them scanned! I have such wonderful memories though, and am so thankful for the time I had with Bandit...he was sure one special friend!

Just remember that you will see him again.

I don't know why I felt the need to come to Dog Memorial this morning, but I'm glad I did so I could hear about what a wonderful dog your Bandit was. I'm not sure I remember hearing you speak about him, so I'm glad I got a chance to "meet" him through your loving words.
I know how hard it is to make the decision to let them go, but you did what you had to and now he's in a better place and waiting for the day when he sees you again.
