My Black Labby, Emerson

[Cookiebaker]

My Emerson passed away in the middle of the night last night. We were in the process of determining what was wrong with him, and so far all we know is that his liver was being affected by antibiotics that he was on. It is so hard to think that rightly or wrongly it was his time to go.

Emerson was always so full of bounce and fun. He never left the toybox picked up. I would get all the toys together and in their place, and he would promptly go and dump them all out again. And he was wiggily. He loved to waggle his whole body, and he was the first to greet me at the door everytime I came home.

And Emerson was affectionate! He would just melt right into my side when I sat on the floor with him. And KISSES! He loved to kiss and kiss and kiss. This weekend, he stopped giving kisses. I couldn't beg or plead one out of him. But just before I left him at the vets, I was on the floor with him, giving him a big hug and promising to come back for him, and he gave me two ear-cleaning-out kisses. I am so thankful for them now.

Emerson, I never came back to get you, and I don't even really realize that you aren't come back yet. And I don't even have words for you now. But I love you and I am so glad that you were part of my life. The day you came home with me, my life was made a whole lot brighter.

p.s. For everybody who still has their furry friends. Go take pictures of them!!! I kept promising I would take pictures of Emerson with his new squeaky tennis balls from Vermontcat, and now it is too late. I would do anything to have a picture of him running around squeaking squeaking squeaking. So learn from my mistake. And goooo take pictures!!!

Oh, Emerson, as I told your mom, I am somehow convinced there is a never-tiring machine up at the Rainbow Bridge that throws tennis balls for all the doggies who sooooooooo love to chase them.

You will be missed so much down here on this earth, but at least now you are healthy again, and back to your bouncy shiny self.

Watch over "your" baby Lydia extra special now, okay? And send Momma some squeaks in her dreams, and maybe some tail thumps, so she knows you're okay up there.

Emerson, I am sorry you had to leave your family, but God needed you with him. Now you are free of pain and sickness. You will forever run and play fetch with the one that created you. Your family will miss you deeply, but you will meet again when it is their time. God bless you and your loved ones. RIP sweet Emerson.

I am so sorry!! He was a beautiful boy who knew he was loved. Take comfort in the fact that he will know no more pain.

Hugs.

You don't need a picture ...
You have a permanent image of Dear Emmerson, ball in mid-Squeek,
burned into you mind ... never to be forgotten.

And TWO *Kisses* to remember ...
his way of saying "THANKS, Mom! ~ It was a GOOD Life you gave me!"

Have a sfe trip to the Bridge, Emmers.

This just makes my heart break for you. I am so sorry he had to go so soon. He was a very special boy.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry (that sounds so inadequate). Anna, I was devastated when I saw this title come up. I tried to respond right away and found I couldn't even spell the simplest words. I never expected this to happen even from reading your health posts. All I can do is send you lots and lots of hugs and prayers. I am so sorry.
Play free, sweet Emerson, you were such a loved boy.

[luvofallhorses]

oh no! I am so sorry! ((((HUGS)))) you will be in my thoughts. rest in peace, sweet Emerson.

Anna, I wish I had words to bring you comfort. I share in your grief. I just feel sick at heart, my chest feels heavy, my eyes are stinging with tears. The shock of it is like an electric jolt through the body. I'll never forget his sweet face when you brought him home, how he fit in the family as if he were a missing puzzle piece, pictures of he and Malone together. I wish I could bring him back to have more time with you. We are never ready, but to lose a pup in the prime of life is just a horror. I'm praying for you, grieving with you. Sending all my love across the miles.

Beautiful boy Emerson, romp and play to your labbie heart's delight. Watch over your family. You are deeply, deeply missed.
