Sherman's Memorial thread

[BC_MoM]

I can't help but cry. It's like the canines of Pet Talk really to become a part of some type of family to the members.

Dear dear Sherman, rest easy and play hard at Rainbow Bridge. We all love and miss you.

As I said in PM Pat, I'm still at loss for words.

That boy of yours sure has a lot of people in tears tonight, including me. As I said in the PM, Shermie will be eternally grateful for you and JoJoe's love, understanding, and unselfishness.


Big {{HUGS}} for you, JoJoe, and Star... please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Awww I am so very sorry to hear this. RIP Sherman

[crow_noir]

* HUGS * to Sherman's family and friends. It seems as if he has touched so very many lives. I know his physical presence will be dearly missed.

It was quite the journey we've been on with him in his illness. Who would have thought it was something so serious. Poor babe.

At least he had a very loving family and didn't have to meet the harsh ends that some dogs do. I couldn't wish much more for any dog.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. (S.O. has also been hoping the best for Shermie through this whole ordeal. ... I'll tell him the news in the morning.)

I'm so sorry. Play hard at the bridge dear Sherman.

Oh Pat, JoJoe and Star i am so sorry . Rest easy big fella, you left way to soon.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I can't believe I missed your earlier update.

I am so extremely sorry, Pat. It's always hard when we have to let our dogs go, but especially so young. He knew he had a wonderful life, and a wonderful family though. Just remember that he's got Rosie now to show him around. I'm in tears reading this. I can't believe he's gone. I feel like I've lost one of my own.

(((HUGS))) to you, JoJoe, and Star.

I'm so sorry. You did the unselfish act of letting him go and now he's painfree and playing like a puppy again up at Rainbow Bridge. He sure was a handsome boy and will never be forgotten. I'm glad to hear that he went peacefully. RIP sweet Sherman.

Dear Sherman... I'm so glad your last trip was a painless and smooth one. Play hard at the Bridge sweet boy. You've touched many lives here, whether in person or not. We'll all be missing you. Keep an eye on your family and know they will need your presence in this difficult time. Enjoy being well and happy and young again. We'll all see you one day. God Bless.

Dance in the light, Sherman, dance in the light.

Sherman's passing was peaceful.
He gently slipped into a calm sleep, and his breathing eased for the first time since his illness began.
It was a comfort to watch his face relax, to feel the tension leave his body,
and know how peaceful he was in his last moments this side of the Rainbow Bridge.
I kissed his head and whispered your love to him, Friends.

Fly High, Dear Sherman ...
May Fair Winds Fill Your Angel Wings.

I'm not often at a loss for words ... but Sherman's Passing to the Rainbow Bridge
has left me wordless. I'll try again later.

Pat, JoJoe, and Star ...
Here's a HeartFelt {{{HUG}}} for each of you.

With Love,
/s/ Phred

I am so sorry, I am ashamed I missed this, I don't get over to the health section very much. I am so sorry, I went back and read your saga and it is truly heartbreaking. You did so much to help your boy I hope he plays hard and pain free at the bridge, RIP Sherman you sweet handsome boy.

[Whisk_Luva]

Here come the tears (Again!)

(((Hugs))) to you and your family.

Sherman

Have a safe trip to the Bridge, Sherman darling. You brought such happiness to everyone. I'm relieved you're not suffering anymore. My RB Cody will guide you and watch over you.

Dance, dear Sherman, dance in the light
Let the sunshine sparkle off your glitter-dusted coat
Let your smile, always ready, shine down on us all
And dance, sweet boy, with furry delight

Dance, sweet Shermie, with that husky wiggle
Let the fur fly - it always gave Mom a giggle
Dance, dear Sherman, dance in the light
Gone dark here on earth, but shining in heaven bright

Dance in the light, golden furry sweet boy
Let us all forget the sorrow, and just remember the joy
Moments of elegance, of goofiness, of fun
Though your time on earth is over, you'll live on in everyone

Dance in our hearts, dear sweet Sherman, now
Send comfort to your human folks, Pat and Jo-Joe
Tell Star, your sister left behind, to keep them extra close
Dance in the light, dear Sherman, and how

Dance in the hearts of everyone you knew
And even in the hearts of those far away, too
Love shone in your bright eyes, it always shone through
Peanut butter kisses, hugs and love we send to you.

* * * *
Down here on earth
In bird's nests in two states
Fledglings will grow strong
In nests lined with Sherman fur
It will keep them safe and warm
And when they grow strong and fly free
Another bit of love you left
Will grace the earth still
In birdsong at dawn

[crow_noir]

Wow Karen, those are beautiful!

Nice work.

(and you made me all sniffly again.)

Dance, dear Sherman, dance in the light
