Heaven got another angel today

what a sweetie he was and a real joy. may you rest in peace, oreo :(

RIP sweet Oreo. :(

Aly, so sorry to hear that Oreo has passed on. How wonderful that he had the last 6 months of his life to really enjoy with lots of people around him & enjoy all the loving that you and your coworkers gave him. Rest in peace and play free at the bridge Oreo.

I think MOFF said it very well so I'll repeat her words;


"Sometime's I think God just gets so lonesome for certain animals (and people) that He just can't stand being away from them a second longer, so calls them home. I'm sure Oreo knew how loved he was by all of you. Maybe the Rainbow Bridge needed another special Valentine.
Rest easy sweet Oreo. Only good times are ahead for you now. "

R.I.P. Oreo

Aly,
I am so sorry to hear about Oreo. May his days at RB be all full of the love you and the shelter showered upon him these last six months.

Thanks everyone :( I miss him so much. There's no way I could describe with words how wonderful and cute his personality was. I wish you guys could have seen him prance. I've never seen a dog do that 100% of the time before. The only comfort I can find is that he did know true love before he left. If he had died while chained to that tree ......... I don't even wanna think about it.

Thanks for everyone's kind words. I am sorry to post such awful news. I just needed help dealing with it :(

Dear little Oreo,
You will be missed
But those who loved you
Yes, they loved you!
Maybe you didn't know what love was
When first to the shelter you came
But they loved you, yes, loved you!

Perhaps in learning and loving to be loved
Your heart was finally full
And no more nightmares
Of chain and hopelessness
No more waking in the night hungry and alone
Cold and unwelcome

For you the shelter meant care
And love
And learning how to be a happy dog
Maybe now, you're at the Rainbow Bridge,
Meeting someone else who never knew love
Who just hoped so long
That you, with your new knowledge
Needed to go
And show them how wonderful love is!

Our Valentine Rainbow Bridge boy,
We'll miss you, Aly most of all,
But you've gone, now show them
What love is all about, okay?

I'm sorry Aly, I'm sure that Oreo will be missed. See you at the RB little guy.

Aly I am so sorry:( rest in peace sweet Oreo.

Chris

~Rest peacefully sweet Oreo~

I'm so sorry. And I'm so sorry poor Oreo had to spend the bulk of his life treated so badly. But I'm extremely glad that he came to you, Aly, and the shelter where he knew happiness on his last days. He must have been a remarkable puppy to be such a prancer after such terrible treatment.

RIP sweet Oreo. Unfortunately for us, I guess the RB needed a prancer in the group.

Oreo is now one of the Lead Dancers in God's
Line Dance Troupe at the Bridge...

Rest In Peace, Oreo!

{{{Huggs}}} to Aly & the Staff.

I'm so sorry!

I would like to appologize for posting this thread. Someone emailed me and said I shouldn't post about animals that aren't mine :( I am really sorry if I annoy anyone with my posts. Its just that the dogs at work are sort of like my own. Same with the dogs at the shelter I volunteer at. But the one I work at is very small so I am able to get very close to all the dogs and cats. I am there 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. And I've known Oreo for 7 months. So I'm sorry about this but the animals at work really are like my own. I'm devastated by his death and was hoping to seek comfort from my pet talk friends. So thats why I posted it. I wasn't trying to make anyone mad or sad.


Karen, that poem was beautiful. Thank you so much.

Aly- I do not think you should apoligize AT ALL for starting this thread...a lot of us often post about animals that are not our own. And the purpose of PT is to support each other and share our love of animals.....you work with these animals on a day to day basis and they are "yours"
I don't think you would have had nearly as many replies to this thread if it was inappropraite. We all know how attached you get to the animals to try on a daily basis to save and this should be exactly the place you come to share the ups and downs of that. I am sorry that someone added to your pain by discouraging you from sharing it. I hope you will disregard that and continue to share with us.
