    Something told me to check in here tonight. I have been away too long, but my heart is sad to know that you have lost your Bobby, Chris. Thank you for fighting so hard for him and being courageous enough to know when it was time. Much love to you and your kitty.

    Just realized how out of date my signature is. Honey, Butter and Milly are in heaven with Bobby.

    He was wonderful...

    Again, SO sorry you lost him, but glad you had the courage to let him go. I know how much joy Springers bring. Praying 4 you!

    If each pet we love takes a part of our heart and replaces it with a part of theirs, my heart is a very strange collection of pieces, but I wouldn't have it any other way


    Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go, and then do it. --Ann Landers

    Thank you all.

    I'm walking, talking, eating, sleeping, even laughing sometimes, but somehow divorced from reality. Reality is Bobby dashing around being a pain, asking for his dinner, sitting waiting for his harness to be put on for a walk, making me mad one minute and laugh the next ... days feel so strange.

    I brought his ashes home today. I'm hoping now he's home I can better go forward into this new life without my boy.

    Missing him

    Chris, I suspect it will take some time before your daily routines modify. I know how much time it takes to maintain a dog and I hope you find a reason to get up all hours of the night, in all kinds of weather, to go outside. Now that I have a dog, I don't think I could live without one for very long. My dog keeps me active whether I want to or not!

    I dread the thoughts of my Prue leaving this earth some day within the next 10 or so years (her life span) - it just doesn't seem like enough time to spend with my girl.

    Bob will always be in your heart. He is at peace now and will no longer be uncomfortable. In order to do that, he had to break your heart.

    Maybe you will be able to find some space in your heart, for another fur-faced pupster to come in ..... there are so many dogs that need good homes. Bob would approve, I'm sure.

    Your loss has made me appreciate my Prue more these days. I treasure her puppy-like routines, knowing she will be a big girl some day and will slow down....and down.....

    I am glad you are doing ok.

    Your video was beautiful Chris.

    It doesn't quite seem real to me either that Bobby has gone. I will miss his photos and his wonderfully soulful eyes. No dog could ever hold a Happy Birthday card like our Bobby.

    Hugs to you and Ebbs tonight.
