Bobby :( Time to say goodbye. Memorial frame photo added

[kaycountrygal]

I am so sorry your Bobby couldnt get better. I know firsthand what it is like to have vet come to the house and "do the deed". It broke my heart years ago and I should have done it earlier. You love Bobby enough to let him go. I have tears in my eyes thinking about it. You are in my prayers. Kay in NC

I'm so sorry. A day all of us furparents dread. {{{hugs}}}

I am so sorry to hear that Bobby has gone downhill. It's a tough decision to make but our responsibility to keep our fur babies comfortable and know when the time has come.

(((hugs))) to you and Bobby. He is a much loved member of PT and I know dearly loved by you.

Chris, I am so sorry that Bobby's time to leave you has come.
Please give him a kiss on his head for me. I will miss hearing about
your sweet boy. (((Hugs))) to you.

FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND
You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.


But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.


So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.


The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.


That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner 'til the end.


Please, understand just what this gift,
You're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.


You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.


So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.


Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.


And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And memory I'll stay.


I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
...a young dog once again.

"You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too....

Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done."


Godspeed, dear one, and Peace to you, Chris.

Dear Chris, our hearts do totally break with yours. I remember so many wonderful stories of Bobby, and those stories will be soft memories in your heart, to get you through these next weeks and months. It is "the deed", the one most fought against, the one most lovingly administered, and the ultimate act of selfless devotion. Bobby lived a beautiful life with you, here on earth, and will live forever in your heart, and ours, from here on out.

My sincerest sympathies.

Godspeed Bobby- enjoy the bridge. Hugs and sympathy for you Chris.

[Randi]

Goodbye dear sweet Bobby, I hope you had a smooth trip to the RB. Your friends will be waiting for you and show you around, but your mum will miss you so - we all will. You were SO special.

Big hugs to you Chris, and my deepest sympathy.

My heartfelt thanks to you all ... I will make a memorial thread sometime soon but can't write anything more right now.
