Beloved Duke is at RB...

[dukedogsmom]

You've been on my mind the last few days. Dasher has been laying just like you used to. You know, with your head rested on the window ledge? That's how he greeted me this morning. I like to think it's you letting me know you're ok. It just hurts because as the time passes, I feel you getting further and further from me

{{Hugs}} For you Val, you are often in my thoughts.

Ya know, Val, I can really empathize with you. I still can't get over the loss of Shiloh. All the others I loved dearly, but understood that they had to go, but Shiloh..........I just can't get over. I think of her all the time and feel that she still should have been with me. Our time together was way too short and I counted on her to be my strength. That two week bladder cancer/lymphoma was way too fast. I wouldn't have wanted her to suffer, but if only the med would have worked to at least give me a few more months with her.........
My heart goes out to you. Know that Duke is always with you in your heart. Sometimes he will let you know he is there...just the way he did now.
Big, big hugs.

I dreamed of you a few nights ago. I dreamed you were back with me. I was wondering what to do with Dasher but knew I would keep him, too. My heart wants what the world can no longer provide. I miss you It's been four months now and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you.

Hugs....I know how you feel. Duke is right with you now. He told you so in your dream. Dasher is there to help you. Duke sent him to you. Hold and hug and cry into Dasher's fur. Dasher will understand... My heart goes out to you.

My dearest dog. The birthday I gave you, April 5th, will come while I'm at work so I wanted to put this up now. I'm so mad at myself for forgetting it last year. I never dreamed it would be your last. I miss you so much, words can't explain. But my tears now, can. I hope all the RB dogs give you a wonderful party. Is there a dog beach there? I hope so. I've always loved this pic of you for your 12th birthday. If only I could hug you again. You're always in my heart and on my mind. I miss you terribly. Until we meet again, sweet Duke.
Love,
Mama

Val, I'm sure the RB dogs will have a grand birthday party for Duke. My Mandy loved parties, maybe she is getting things ready right now. I'm sure too that there is a dog beach at the RB.
I know this week will be especially hard for you. PM me anytime. {hugs}

[dukedogsmom]

My sweet dog. Today, Mother's day, makes it six months without you. They've been the hardest six months of my life. How I wish I was still your mama. My heart is forever broken from having to say goodbye to you. I thank you for sending me little signs. Like a few weeks ago when I was showing my supervisor a picture of Dasher on her computer. There was a popup with Duke in big letters. How I miss you. You're always not far from my thoughts and forever in my heart.

{{Hugs}} For you Val.

Oh Val I am so sorry it still hurts so much. You are still Duke's mama and always will be, {{hugs}}.

[dukedogsmom]

Oh Duke. I was doing some cleaning last night. Going through old cards and photos. Between the card from dad and the one from you with your paw traced on it, it was too much. All those photos of you frozen in time. How I wish there could be more.

I thank you for leading me to Dasher. He's got some impossible paws to fill but like my mom says, he's really trying. He's becoming more special to me every day. Last night, for the first time, I put down your favorite blanket and he slept on it, as he is now. I love how his face lights up when I get home. He's really become a happy dog and I'm so thankful. He and I really needed each other.

It still hurts so much to be without you. Not a day goes by that you're not on my mind. Part of me will always be empty because you're not with me. I miss you

[dukedogsmom]

I miss you. I feel as if I'm going to die of a broken heart

[Whisk_Luva]

I miss you. I feel as if I'm going to die of a broken heart

Awwww! *Eyes watering*

Remember he isnt gone! He is with you every day.

Anyway he wouldnt want you to feel sad... he would want you to think of the good times together and for you to be happy.

I think of you often special Duke, and your Mama too.
