It's already been 5 years...

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

((((Katie)))) He sounded like a very special boy and he was a handsome boy and lucky to have you in his life. :)

Bandit, you were such a sweet boy and was very well loved. Please, be okay at the bridge. ((((HUGS)))) R.I.P Bandit

Rest easy handsome boy :(. {{Hugs}} For you Katie.

Time DOES fly, He was such a cutie:(...

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!:rolleyes: 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.
