A bit upset...

**Kfamr** · 01-04-2007, 08:03 PM

I know this might seem a bit odd, but I cannot stop crying.

I have never met this dog. I had never known this dog existed until last night.

Please read his story...

I read about Dexter last night after a member on another forum posted about him. I immediately starting bawling because it reminded me so much about Kiara's happenings in September and he has the same coloring as her, same skittish nature, etc. It just brought make those horrible memories that I have been trying so hard to get over.

Well, I found out about a half hour ago that they found Dexter's body - he is gone.

That is the fate the crossed my mind so many times with Kiara. I have been bawling since. His poor family. I cannot imagine how completely upset they are. I cannot imagine the pain they will endure over the next few months knowing the loss they suffered after getting so far with a skittish dog.

I know the pain too well and I can't stand the fact someone else is going through it. Although we did not lose Kiara, thankfully, I feel we have in a way.

I need to stop blabbing now, and I need to go hug my little girl.

Rest in Peace, Dexter, I am so sorry. I am glad that you got to know what love is...

Oh what a sad, sad story. RIP, Dexter, you had come a long way. Sometimes life is just so unfair. I am glad that you at least were able to enjoy your short life after rescue with such a loving family.
Hugs.

that breaks my heart.. my thoughts are with Dexter's family. atleast he knew what love was like and what a family was all about.

Hugs to you, Kay! I am just so glad that Kiara is safe and sound. that is one of my worst nightmares for my dogs to get out and not knowing where they are or if they are safe. It has happened with Tiger (my cat) and thankfully these little girls found him and asked me if he was my cat. I don't wish that nightmare on anyone.

I am so glad I have my Tiger back. life is just so unfair sometimes.

he was beautiful.

Give Kiara a few extra hugs tonight. I feel so bad for Dexters family.

RIP Sweet Dexter....
Your story touched many that never knew you.

That breaks my heart, it's so sad. Rest well, Dexter.

Rest In Peace Dexter.

I absolutely hate fireworks & the dumb ass morons who think of no one but
themselves.

**cyber-sibes** · 01-05-2007, 12:05 PM

What a sad story. At least Dexter knew for a little while, that he was loved, and he had his very own family to love back. I will keep them all in my prayers.

Hugs to you & Kiara, give your precious girl a kiss on the head from me.

Jeez I started crying reading it, and I didn't go through what you did with Kiara, no wonder it got you so upset.

I'm glad Dexter got to be well loved before his passing, so he didn't die alone and afraid never knowing kindness. And I'm extra glad Kiara is home and safe.

Kiara is home and she is safe, thankfully, so go give her some extra hugs, it will help you feel better.
