Our Beloved Angus....A Friend Lost

[anna_66]

Thank you very much Amy.

Merry Christmas Sweet Boy!

Oh man were you ever missed yesterday. I'm sure you were watching, but I wanted to let you know that it just wasn't
the same without you here. I wanted to put out your stocking, but the thought of you not being here to eat the treat I put in it just broke my heart, so I didn't. I just put an extra treat in Roxey, Huney & Bon's stocking
Of course Bon was not like you at all...he pigged out on his treats! No patience, he's a puppy

I gave Allison some extra lovins' from you because I'm sure
you would have loved to give her a big ol' kiss. She's getting so big, I wish you could have been around to share more of her life with her.

And your other favorite Ashley is here! I was so happy to see her as I'm sure you would have too.
Bradley even asked about you.

Overall we had a pretty good christmas and that's why I wasn't able to post yesterday, but I'm sure you knew that

I hope the big man upstairs gave you a treat or two

Just wanted to let you know how much I love you and still and always will think about you boy.

Love mommy

Hi Angus,

I was sitting here thinking about you, so I thought I would come here and let you know that. It just seems like the place to come and talk to you. I'm going up to visit with your mommy and daddy today so thats probably why I'm thinking about you right now. I have thought of you off and on over the holidays. I look at our picture and say Hi to you quite often. I LOVE that picture of us. Your mom put it in a frame for me to have. She sure is one special lady, Angus. Your folks miss you alot, sweetie. They are doing ok though so don't worry too much. I know that you are watching over them and helped lead them to that new little boy of theirs. You did a great job with that one, Angus. That big pup is something else! There is no way any pup can replace you but he does help ease the pain and make everyone laugh. I'm so excited to be going to see your folks today. Can't wait! And...guess what! Alden is coming also! I'm so happy about that! It also makes me a bit sad that he didn't get to visit while you were still with us. He loves rotties and I know he would have loved you! I'll be sure and give everyone an extra hug from you today.

I can't leave without asking you to please say hi to Chloe for me. Tell her how much I miss her. I think about her all the time. Please let her know, Angus.

Ok, enough of this silliness. I'm getting all teary eyed. I love and miss you, Angus!

Lots of Love....Auntie Robin

My dear sweet boy, I found this poem tonight and it made me think of you.

Letter From Your Pet in Heaven

To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there are no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."

God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.

But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.

When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."

"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."

I know that you are up with god watching us and I feel very privileged to have such a wonderful angel. I think about you quite often although not as much as I did in the beginning because that BIG Bon boy keeps me quite busy. You sure knew what guy to pick when you sent him to us
I still can't think too hard about you. I just want to cry because I miss you so much...and so does your dad. We were actually just talking about you today. Bon will definately never take your place, no other dog will be able to do that. You were one of a kind big boy. My heart still aches for you.

Oh Anna ............. *tears flowing freely*

[delidog]

Oh Anna,
*Sniff*
That was Beautiful!!!

[RobiLee]

Yep, I got the leaky eyes now, Anna.

That was so touching. I really like that and its nice to know that our RB babies are watching over us. I always feel that way about Chloe and I know your boy is watching over you. Its so nice to know that, isn't it?

I just kissed my fingertip and placed that kiss on Angus in our picture. You know how much I love that picture

Thinking of you, Angus!

Beautiful poem.
I'm sure that Angus and Killian have met by now and are talking about PetTalk and watching over us.
I know how you feel.
Hugs.

I'm am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Angus. All pet lovers dread this terrible moment and please take comfort that you did what needed to be done in love of your beloved pet. Sweet Angus may the meadows and valleys be full of sunshine and glistening streams for your romp over rainbow bridge. God Bless and Prayers to you and your caring family. ~Champ

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

What a beautiful poem, Anna. <sniff, sniff>

[dukedogsmom]

Now I'm crying at work again! I guess I'll never learn. It hurts to know that you still hurt that much for him. Partly because I feel for you and partly because I now know how I'm going to feel because Duke is my heart dog. I pray it gets easier for you both. I hope Bon helps to fill that big empty spot in your heart.

[cloverfdx]

Oh Anna that poem is beautiful *Tears*.

Miss you big boy .

[jennifert9]

Anna, I just read through this entire thread and now I'm sobbing! I'm so sorry that I wasn't here for you during the difficult time when Angus passed to the Bridge. I was devastated when I found out and I still feel his loss every time I see you post.

He was such a handsome boy and the apple of your and Mark's eyes I know. RIP Angus.

Sweet Angus...

Your mommy told me I could share this with everyone here.
I made it a few nights ago while talking to Kristen about her Brooke, I'm sure you guys have met?

Angus Slideshow


I think about you all the time..
Having only met you twice, it's so funny how much you've affected me and stoled my heart.
I feel like you're one of mine. I remember how you ate that wet food out of my hand in the vet's office... the smell of the vet's office.. the silence on the way home...how loving Roxey and Huney were to me while your mommy and daddy were saying goodbye. And when your mommy walked in from the vet's office.

I have my own little memorial of you in my room.. I look at it every day boy, and I think of you. I know your mommy told me to give you bandana to Simba but I wanted to keep it for myself. I had him wear it for a while after I got home to him. I bet he felt honored to wear such a special doggie's bandana.

You have know clue how much I wish I could bring you back. I want to see you again and I want to see you playing with that big red ball. I bet you and Kiara would look absolutely adorable together, and you'd be as sweet as pie to her, wouldn't you boy?
You were truely the meaning of "Rottweiler" - sweet, gentle, loving, funny, adorable.

I showed my mom the slideshow tonight and got tears once again while watching.
I love you sweetheart..

[Tweety_Pie]

Kay, That is such a beautiful tribute. You are so talented, you did a good job, and brought tears to my eyes.

[anna_66]

I know that you already know how I feel about you big boy, but isn't it wonderful to know that we have such dear friends who care about us so much? I've been wanting to make a slide show like that for so long now but I've been putting it off, it's too hard for me still. I LOVE YOU ANGUS.


I sit here not really knowing what to say, I'm just at a loss for words. I can't even begin to explain how much that slideshow affected me. Feels like my heart is breaking all over but then again it makes me happy to see just how much he was loved. Like I told Kay, so many emotions, words can't even explain how I felt when I watched it. Can't talk about it any more, I'll just start bawling again...
