Our Beloved Angus....A Friend Lost

[caseysmom]

Oh Anna it must be so hard, I can totally understand how you feel. I truly think your boy helped kiki, you should feel proud.

[dukedogsmom]

I totally understand how you feel, though it makes me sad that you're still feeling the pain after 2 years because I know it'll be the same pain I feel when Duke leaves me.

Angus had one of the best doggie smiles ever. I always loved seeing his pics.

Anna {{hugs}}. I often think of Angus, in fact whenever I hear the word Rottie. To me that word means Angus, the dearest, sweetest ambassador for a breed that could ever be.
I never met him, still miss him, that is how special he was, is.

Rotties are getting so much bad press over here at the moment but you only have to look at this thread to know just how wrong people can be about the them.

Angus you are still a true ambassador for your gorgeous breed - I wish everyone had the chance to know you

I do believe Angus was the first dog I cried about on Pet Talk. He was such a handsome boy and I know he is still sadly missed. Anna, I can believe that the hurting never goes away. Thank goodness we have memories. {hugs}

Angus, I was watching your video today. I found it because there was a thread on another forum about memorial videos.

The tears are rolling... It's been nearly 3 years since the day I last saw you but you still cross my mind often. The smell of the vets office is still remembered. Your memorial, with the little Rottie stuffie and your bandana your mommy gave me, is still here in my room and will never be taken down.

It still amazes me how much you managed to touch my heart big boy.
Please send hugs to your mom and dad from me and tell Bon he's a good boy.

Love you.

That's so sweet Kay.

I too remember everything that happened that weekend. The smell, how you fed him and of course the final goodbye. It stays so fresh in my mind.

I've thought many times about writing in this thread, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. No matter how long he's gone, the feelings I get about him are so strong. I guess it could be as Nancy said, he's still here and very attached to this family.

While I'm here I might as well say a few words (even though he already knows)....

Hello sweet Angus,
You know how I feel about you and thank you for all the wonderful years me and your dad were able to spend with you. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think about you, you were one of a kind. I don't cry like I used to, but only because I won't let myself .
I know you are happy and whole again, that little playful pup that used to run around the car and chase Keisha (do you two still do that? I hope so).
I also hope your keeping watch over those newbies up there (like Bowser & Sherman).

I want to thank you for being here for Bon. He's a scared little boy-not a fearless man like you were but we love him none the less.

Your always in my heart.

Love you big man (((HUGS))) Your momma

Anna, I've been meaning to tell you that sometimes Dasher tilts his head and reminds me so much of Angus! Sometimes I can see Angus in his face. And I know how much you miss him. I'm afraid that's the way I'm going to be about Duke

[CathyBogart]

Everyone here still loves you, Angus...Kay, thanks for posting that video.

I can hardly believe tomorrow will mark three years you've been gone. It seems like it's come and gone so fast, like it was only yesterday I was holding you in my arms and caressing your fur.

I'm going to the dog park today and will be thinking of you. I remember the last time you went. You were such a good boy.

You had such fun that day, I could see it in your face.

It's hard to think of you and look at these pictures today, but you know what? I just heard that there will be another rottie coming today. I'll be able to give her the love that I would have given you if you were here

I've been looking over the posts in this thread and It's all I can do not to cry (I can't do that, I've already put on makeup)
I still wear you ashes around my neck and will be thinking of you and all the fun we had together.

OK, the tears are starting to come so I need to end this.

I love you Angus.

[dukedogsmom]

I'm glad I'm not wearing makeup because the tears would have really ruined it. It doesn't seem like it's been that long already. I'm glad there will be another Rottie there. I agree with whomever said "When I hear Rottweiler, I think of Angus" I do that, too. I think he's a wonderful ambassador to the breed. I hope you're feeling his spirit there today.

I am listening to such a sad song, and looking at these pictures of Sweet Angus makes me cry. I was not a part of Pet Talk long enough to see Angus or get to "know" him. Reading this thread, I can see that's really a shame for me. Angus looks like such an amazing boy and I can tell the bond you two had was powerful. He was such a handsome, handsome boy! I am so sorry you lost him.

RIP sweet Angus. I am so sorry.

[shais_mom]

hi Big boy, don't you worry, I gave your momma a big hug for both of us today.
Thanks for visiting me in my communication with Kylie, I was very honored.
Say hi to Shaianne and my grandparents too would ya?
big hugs

[chocolatepuppy]

Anna, I can't believe, three years already. Angus was the sweetest boy. They never really leave us do they? Always in our hearts.{hugs}

[luvofallhorses]

((((Anna & Mark))))) you will be in my thoughts.
