My beloved, beautiful Tommy

[SadButGrateful]

Just looked at your second tribute and you know... "Thank You For Being My Friend"..goes both ways. You were his friend while he was here and I'm sure he's thanking you too. What a wonderful friendship and time you both had! What a beautiful dog Tommy was! Can't help you with the pain, but that's the risk we take when we give away our hearts. And your heart you gave him indeed!

I brought my boy home today. I had a dream early this morning that I went out in the yard and when I called the girls, Tommy came out with them. In my dream I called his name and he ran to me. It was so vivid.

I woke right after that and soon went to the vet's office to bring him home for good. I just wish it could have been like my dream instead.

It's good to see Tommy home. When I was waiting on Mandys ashes (these people delivered) I was so afraid I'd lose it all over again. I was so happy to feel like she was home again. I hope it brings you some comfort Jess.

This is so weird. It really is.

First of all, my apologies for not posting sooner. I am so sorry for your loss of Tommy. I remember Tommy and Tasha pics so well. Tommy always reminded me of the typical Golden stereo-type, goofy, sweet as can be, always smiling, beautiful, handsome, and oh so smiley. He reminded me of Shadow form Homeward Bound. I remember seeing your two back when I first joined. I always always enjoyed the pictures you posted. I am so sorry, Jess, that you are so heart broken. I agree, losing a dog is always hard, but so unexpectedly makes it worse.

Maybe this is cliche, and so many people say it, but when I say Tommy lived the best life he could have, I mean it. He was always so happy. Rest in peace dear boy.

I just recently thought of Tommy. I started reading a book called "Until Tuesday" about a Golden who changed a soldiers life. His picture is on the cover and he reminded me so so so much of Tommy. Just his grin alone. I have started reading it and am really enjoying it. Maybe it would be a good book for you to read to? I know it's strange of me to suggest a book in this thread for you, but the picture of Tuesday on the cover really did make me think of Tommy.

Also I am glad he is home now, where he belongs with you

I'm glad for you that Tommy is home now. {{hugs}} I hope having him there helps, I know having my Bobs back has helped me tremendously.
