    Whiskers 2/21/08 Update: post 13 and 20

    As I was waiting up front at the vets the other day, a woman came in carrying her dog in a dog bed. She sat down and I said "What a spoiled dog." She then told me it was time for them to say goodbye. I felt so bad. I gently petted Whiskers' head and told the woman that I'd cry for her. I got called back to a waiting room and got to thinking of how I'd taken a pic of Duke when it was his time. I went out and asked her if she'd like one of Whiskers. I told her I'd taken one of my dog. So, here's sweet Whiskers. Say a prayer that her trip to the RB was a peaceful one.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.

    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I can remember being at the vet's and someone was bringing in their dog or cat for it's last trip. There's that intense feeling, because you know how it feels. Have fun at the Rainbow Bridge Whiskers.

    That was so sweet of you Val, to take a picture for them.
    RIP Whiskers.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh Whiskers, I hope your trip to the bridge is peaceful. Play hard @ the bridge sweet boy. RIP Whiskers.

    You did a very nice thing for Whiskers' mommy, we all know how intensely painful it is to let them go. Bless You.

    water works are on.......

    what a lovely gesture of you...it´s sad that when it happens to us we seem to forget but it´s nice to tell someone else something that will bring a smile t their faces as they had someone to remind them to do that (last picture taken)

    thank you for being so kind and having the heart to be for someone you didn´t knew....

    RIP Whiskers...... you sure were a lovely dog and will be missed heartedly

    I got an email from her husband. I've enclosed part of it here. I was very touched by it. I'm so glad I was there now! Getting LES at work. Life is sure special sometimes.

    Valerie, Thank You so much for the picture and memorial to Whiskers.

    I'm , the husband of , the Lady who you met at the vets office with Whiskers. Whiskers was actually our son's dog. He is currently serving with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment in Mosul, Iraq. We will forward the photo of Whiskers to him after we get the chance to tell him of her passing.

    I'm so glad that you were there when Cathy came in because I was unable to be there as I am currently ill. You really helped her get through the moment and she felt much better because of your goodness.

    God Bless You, and thank you once again.
