Our Beloved Angus....A Friend Lost

Well, here I am at a loss for words again. You are all so sweet. I didn't expect anyone to reply, I just wanted the world to know I was thinking about my boy on his special day.

And Phred, what can I say....that was the sweetest most special thing I think I've ever seen. How can I ever thank you. It made me cry of course but tears of joy instead of sorrow.

I just wanted you all to know that we got his ashes back yesterday. It was really hard picking them up, but it has also brought some closure to all of this.
I will take a picture of his urn and the paw print necklace I had them put some of his ashes in and post it as soon as I feel up to it.

We feel better knowing that our boy is home. And now I can hold him close when I think of him.

Anna,
I bet that it does feel alot better to have your boy home! And that's true, you can always hold him close to you whenever you need/want to!

I know that I would definatly feel better if I had my RB lab's ashes!

Again, PM if you need anything at all, and here are some more big {{{{{HUGS}}}}} for you!!

It was so hard for me too, Anna, the day I had to pick up my Lab Jing's ashes:( It made it all so real and final. But in the end, I was so happy to know that she was back home, where she belonged. I found a beautiful urn to keep her ashes in and had an artist paint her picture on it. I have her by me all the time. I'm so glad you're home Angus sweetheart.

Anna, I too felt so much better somehow when I picked up Cody and Willie's ashes. It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't gone through it before, but it does bring some closure, you feel like in some way, they are with you again. Cody and Willie's urns are side by side on a little shelf, looking over Tommy and Tasha's beds. I look at them every day.

Anna,

I remember when I got Buddy's ashes back.I went to his
Vets office to get them & there were hugs and tears all
around by the Vets staff. When the Tech (Debbie) brought
his ashes out to me, I could only think of all the times she
had led Buddy out from the back on his leash after getting
a checkup or something. The finality of it all really hit me them.

It seemed like a closing in a way & Buddy was coming home
for his final rest. He was home again. No more pain, no more
hurts & he was safe at home. I hope you and Mark can feel
some measure of closure knowing that Angus is at rest, safe
with you both. Angus was much loved by all who knew him.

Anna, I haven't been spending much time on the computer and I just saw that Angus passed on.

There aren't any words to help you feel better, I know. I'm thinking of you.

It has been a while since I visited Pet Talk and it was with great sadness that I read about the passing of sweet Angus. I remember how the people of Pet Talk rallied with thoughts and prayers when Angus was sick not so long ago. What a joyous day it was when Angus came home and we saw the pictures of him playing with his family again.

Angus plays at the bridge now, just waiting for the day when he will be with his family again. And his family is huge, because not only will his immediate family be thinking of him, but the family of Pet Talk, for he has touched so many lives.

Play hard sweet Angus, you will be missed.

It has been some time since I have been able to visit potd and I just learned of Angus' crossing. I am so deaply sorry for your loss. Although I have never met Angus in person, it feels as if I have. This brought tears to my eyes.
May Angus be happy, healthy & whole again, at the bridge.
He will forever live in our hearts.

Anna,

We couldn't let it go without sending our sympathies. Trust us when we say, we understand. Angus was a great dog and an ambassador to his breed. He will be missed. We have alerted Smokey, Lady, Dudley, Butterscotch, and Ryu and my dogs growing up Queenie 1 and 2 and Keir and Dutchess to make him welcome at the Bridge.

Run free and happy Angus...you deserve it!! We'll be sure to visit when we get there.

Mike and Molly

Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate your words, they mean very much to me.

I just saw this because I found the site only a few days ago. Your post brought me to tears and I wanted you to know Angus will be in my prayers. I hope you are doing well.

Thank you very much BJ893. I feel very privlidged that your very first post was one in my sweet Angus boys thread.

So sad to hear about Angus, I believe we met him once at our dog park. Having Angus all those years was such a blessing - what a handsome boy!
My first exposure to Pettalk was last feb. when a friend posted a memorial when our beautiful Rottie-mix girl was killed by a car - she was only three. Everyone's kind words really helped.
Angus, look in on Rosie at the rainbow bridge - she'll love to play with you!
Anna, I hope we meet again at the Findlay dog park! You are in our prayers --

cyber-sibes thank you. I do remember reading about your Rosie, she was a beautiful girl. I'm sorry I never got the chance to meet her. I'm sure her and Angus will have a great time together.
And don't worry, I'm sure we'll be meeting you at the park again;)
Give those beautiful huskies a big hug from me.

Anna, I agree, that having Angus's ashes feels a bit more like closure. I put Cody's beautiful box next to my favorite photo and his collar on top of the box, and still, to this day, kiss it everynight and say a prayer. That way he knows I'll never forget him and will love him forever. I hope you and Mark are hanging in there. I know it's so so hard. Hugs to you both.
