Gull, You've brought the sun to me...

[Bengalz]

The sharing of food with our babies has always intrigued me. My sheepdog had a very sensitive tummy and I had to cook her food and give her sterilized water. However, she would always sit by me at dinner and my habit for years was to save my "last bite" for her. After she passed, for a very long time, I could not eat my last bite of food ... I still sometimes think about it . It seems our hearts are never the same after sharing this much love with our precious ones.

Good news is that after a while, every time you eat a banana - there will be a smile on your face and the image of your beautiful boy sharing that moment with you.

ParNone what a wonderful tribute to Gull. Gull was really a character her on earth & I bet heaven is rolling with laughter. I am sorry for your loss & I wish our dogs could all have longer lives because they touch our hearts & bring us so much joy in their short times here.

Par, my heart breaks to hear this news. Your two made me consider getting a collie. They were both so gorgeous. RIP Gull. You are surely missed.

Hugs to you, Par!!

I'm so sorry I remember Gull well and all your funny, adorable videos of your collie and cairn fur kids. The video I will never forget was the "toy from hell" video. All these years later and I still laugh when I think about it. You have a wonderful sense of humor and I can see all your canine friends shared that with you. Rest in peace, beautiful Gull. You were such a handsome, adorable boy and you will be so missed

Thanks Bengalz, krazyaboutkatzk, Bonny, ramanth and AdoreMyDogs for all the kind words about Gull. I got some doggie therapy yesterday. Spent the afternoon at a friend's, who has 2 Goldens and a Chi Mix. I threw the ball, until my arm was sore. I had to make'em take a break, for my arm's sake. lol Retrievers amaze me. Oz and Gull would have been good to fetch for about 5-10 mins, tops.

Oh Par... I can't tell you how much my heart dropped to see this. I watched your beautiful tribute, which made me both smile and cry a bit. I loved watching your goofy Gull grow up here on PT. It seems unreal that he can have passed and so suddenly. My heart aches for you. I lost Tommy suddenly January 2012, and I know how deep and lasting that ache is, the hole their passing leaves. Loved the video.. loved Gull. I will always remember your funny little movies of he and Oz man. I remember sharing some of them with my mom who is a huge collie fan. She has a smoothie herself now.

My thoughts and my deepest sympathies are with you.
