Our Beloved Angus....A Friend Lost

Anna, I'm so very sorry to read that Angus has gone. :( He was SO special! I hope it will be a comfort for you and Mark that he is not suffering now.

Rest in Peace, dear Angus - you will be remembered and missed!

Belated but heartfelt.... :( :( :( You'll be missed Angus. Hugs and Sympathy to Anna, Mark, and the girls.

RIP sweet boy. :( :(

Anna, Mark, Roxey, and Huney

hugs to you all... This must be so difficult, but I know you (and we) will always remember and love Angus. He will be greatly missed.

Ralph

What a beautiful tribute Anna, so touching. Thankyou for sharing this and opening up your heart. I pray that you and Mark will find the comfort and peace you need.

(((HUGS)))

Julie

I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear about Angus. What a huge hole they leave when they go. Angus was obviously a very loved boy and had a wonderful life with you.

Rest in peace Angus.

Dear Anna,

Your loving tribute to Angus is beautiful. Please know that
you & Mark are in my thoughts & prayers. I hope you both can
find some comfort in good memories of your baby boy. Angus
was a lucky pup to have such a loving family. Liz.

Oh Anna, I just found this thread and I am so sorry to hear this sad news. :( You know I don't visit the dog side much, but you also know that the few times I do it's because of Angus. He has always been my favorite PT doggie, and always will be. I was near tears while reading through all the posts. Then I saw your loving tribute to your little man and I just lost it. :( :(

I am so honored that I actually got to meet him in person. He really was an "old gentleman" of a dog (sorry, forgot who originally said that). And I'm so glad you brought him to the bark park in May. Little did I know that would be the last time I would see him. :(

I can only imagine how hard this is on you and Mark, and Roxey and Huney also. Please know that we are all here for you. If Mark is anything like Terry, he will normally stay away from PT, but maybe if he reads through this thread, knowing how much Angus was loved by us all will help him to grieve for him.

{{{hugs}}} to you and Mark.

RIP sweet Angus. You will never be forgotten. :(

I'll attach a few pics I have because Imagestation isn't cooperating today.

And here he is with Mark - outside the fence.

I know I have more, but they must be on my home computer.

Such beautiful words you wrote, Anna. {{{HUGS}}} for you and Mark.


Hi Angus,

I miss you, big boy. I've gotten so attached to you and your wonderful family. There have been so many wonderful things said about you here. I hope you are hearing all the sweet words and beautiful poems. Your mommy and I talk about you every day. She misses you so much and has shared some of those things with all of us here at Pet Talk. I even got her to tell me a funny story about you. Oh my she had me laughing. You big goofy hard headed boy!;) Your mommy and daddy are very sad and hurting right now, sweetie. You keep watch over them from where you are and I'll do my best here, OK.

Play hard at Rainbow Bridge, Angus.....Love ya.....Aunt Robin :)

Anna, not a moment goes by when I don't think about you, Mark and the girls.

I wish I could thank each and everyone of you for all your kind words and thoughts and give you all a big hug from my boy.
I keep thinking tomorrow will be better, but sometimes it just seems harder.
I know a day will come when he won't be the first thing I think of when I get up and the last thing I think of when I go to bed.
I welcome but also dread that day.
I wish I knew something else to say, but I just don't.
All I can say is THANK YOU.

We are not sure if you will get our other message. Please know that we are weeping for you at our house. We know too well what you are going through. There is a huge hole in your heart and home and you are walking around in a daze. Things do get better after a long long time but we will never forget our beloved furry friends. They leave such a mark on our lives that can not be compared to anything else. God be with all of you. Angus is running around at RB now, smiling down at all of us.

Love, Daisy, Delilah, and family

I agree 100%, I couldn't have said it better myself! Anna, we are all thinking of you and if you ever need to talk to anybody we are all here for you.

Oh Dearest Anna and Mark,
I wish to express My Deepest Symapthy on the loss of your Dear Angus.....I know how Special he is....What a Handsome Boy!!!!
I have been in the place that you are right now...I know it is Never Easy....I wish I had the right words to make the pain go away.....
I Do However know that They Carve a Special Place in your heart,where They will Rest for All Eternity...

On 09/03,was the 10th Anniv. of my losing my Dear Scrubber....I know that He will Welcome Sweet Angus to The Bridge...and will Run & Play with him till we meet them there....

Hugs to You & Yours during this most difficult time....

Thank you again dear friends. The last few day have been very trying for me, harder than it was in the beginning. I am trying to come to terms with it because I know that he is in a much happier place now.
Yesterday was extremely hard, I put away all of his stuff (toys, dish, belly wraps, bandanas, etc.). I'm hoping that will help me. But the house seems so empty now. He didn't take up that much space, but he filled our home with love.

There isn't a set time on putting things away. You shouldn't be rushing yourself, unless you want to. I think if it were me, I'd keep something out all the time but that's me. It might be too hard for other people.

Anna, when my big dog Corey died (we had to put him down) 4 years ago, I faced the same decision. We only had the two cats then, no other dogs. I left Corey's big pillow bed out for weeks in the living room. His toy box must have sat there for a month before I could sort through them and take some to the animal shelter and save a few for my next dog. I still have two of his toys in a drawer. His good boy ball and his monkey. Lacey got the rest of his remaining toys when we got her. Do everything in your own time, you may even put something away and get it back out again, just do what you 'feel' not what you 'think' you should feel. My thoughts and prayers are still with you,your hubby and your girls, it will take time, a long time....

Thanks guys, but I did feel it was time. I thought putting most of his stuff away would help me & the girls. Otherwise I would just look at it and think that he was never going to be there playing with that again, never laying on that bed again, etc...
I still have his bed out, Roxey uses it sometimes &
I still have all his pictures up, and the one Val gave me has his collar hanging from it.
What seemed to help me the most was putting some picutres in the bedroom. I took the one of him and Roxey we had taken a couple years ago and the "guardian angel" plaque that one of my friends gave me and put it on the dresser.

And then I took one of him smiling really big and put it on my nightstand along with the last bellywrap he wore.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...e/f70438f5.jpg
This way I could see his smiling face before I go to bed.
It's helped alot.
So I think I've done the right thing, but thank you for being concerned.

Big {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}.

Anna, you are doing what is right for you.

What's best for some, may not be what's best for others.
You are doing what is right.... right for you!

We are all here for you!!

I think of you, Mark and the girls often!

~HUGS~

{{{Anna and Mark}}} I've only just found this thread and after reading the beautiful tributes to 'our' beautiful Angus I can't seem to stop the tears. I fully understand your difficujlty in coming to terms with his going - just his physical presence - and he was such a BIG gorgeous, handsome laughing boy.

Keeping you and Mark in my thoughts and prayers xxxxx

RIP dear dear Angus - reunited with dear Keisha at the Bridge. x

My dear sweet Angus,

Happy Birthday my big boy. Oh how I wish you were here so we could celebrate, I had so many plans. I was going to get you a great big steak, then you were going to have a birthday cake from the three dog bakery. Oh how much you would have loved that! And then of course there would have been lots of toy and treats for presents and probably even a trip to the pet store so you could pick out something for yourself.
And I really wanted to take you to the park since you have such a great time when we went the last time. I cherish the pictures I took that day, you were so happy.
I am however burning the Memorial Angel Candle that Amy sent to me. I lit it this morning in honor of your birth, I couldn't think of a more fitting time.
I gave the girls some special canned food this morning and Huney loved it but Roxey wouldn't even touch it (you know how she is sometimes). And then they got the busy bones that Robin gave them in their gift bag. Needless to say it didn't take them long to eat them and they are now napping. I will try to do something special for them this evening, I know you would have wanted me to.
And Angus, could you do me a favor? Please visit Roxey and let her know that it's ok that your not coming home. She has been so depressed since Monday, it's like now she knows you won't be coming back and is just beside herself with grief. I even took them to the bark park last night and she just wasn't herself at all. I know she missed her big brother.
This day and every day is so different without you here. I don't know if you'd say the days get better, but some of them are easier to bear than others. We will all miss you and will think of you often.
I hope you have a great birthday at the Rainbow bridge my big boy!
We love you
Love Anna, Mark, Roxey & Huney

Happy Birthday, sweet boy.

:( :( wow...
I am so sorry Anna and Mark...
I missed this thread ... but I want you to know that you guys are in my prayers... I can't imagine that pain that you guys feel...

Angus was such a SPECIAL boy... and i hope you guys can take comfort in knowing that he lived the happiest life a pup can live...

He was always smiling such a BIG DOGGIE smile in your pictures...

I AM SO SORRY!!


REST IN PEACE DEAR SWEET ANGUS...

you unknowingly jumped right into the heart of so many people who love you so much all over the world.. we will miss you so much big boy.. :( :( :( :( :(

Happy Birthday, sweet angel.

Happy Birthday Angus. I love you.

Happy Birthday, Angus. :(

Happy Birthday big guy!
We all love you!

*Angie, Buddy & Sierra

Happy Birthday, Angel Angus.

I know how hard this is for you, Anna. It hurts that you lost Angus and it hurts even more because Roxey hurts. I know it will be the same for Shiloh when Killi passes. She can't stand it when he goes off to the vet without her...oh the kisses when he gets back. So it must be for Roxey and Huney. I believe dogs grieve too.

Just a tip, the shower is a good place to get a good cry. I also did a picture album of each RB dog and got a Sandicast figurine and put their tags on it. It helps a little.

I know your pain and send you big hugs.

Happy Birthday Angus. We love and miss you

Happy Birthday, Sweet Angus

We miss you so much, big boy.

Love.......Robin

I cried so when I read that today was your beautiful boy's birthday. And when I read your birthday tribute to him, I was beyond tears. We love you Angus and we all wish you were here with us to celebrate your special day, most especially your mommy and daddy and sisters Huney and Roxey. But I know the whole furry gang at the Rainbow Bridge is throwing you one big, happy birthday bash:)

Anna, I wish, how I wish, I could adequately convey to you my deep, deep sorrow over the loss of your, of our, beautiful Angus. I think of you and Mark, Huney and Roxey and your beloved Angus every day. And Angus, you live on in all of our hearts, precious boy. We miss you so very, very much. All my love to you dear Anna and family. Sandra, Cody and Star

Happy Birthday sweet Angus - I know you are celebrating at the Bridge with all our sweet one's that are waiting there for us with you.

Anna and Mark - I know how hard it is for you right now, but remember that Angus only knew joy and love in your family.

You know I'm starting to believe that Cinder & Smoke write those prayers & stuff. I don't think it's Phred anymore.
