The Preacher falls silent

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I am so, so sorry Tamara. I don't really even know what to say.

I had no idea that Preacher was ill until now. He had a wonderful life with you and your crew and will be very missed by many. He was a wonderful, beautiful dog.

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm so sorry! That was so sudden and such a shock.

[dukedogsmom]

I'm so very sorry. I always loved that old soul. He seemed so sweet. Please know we, too, feel your grief. Preacher must have been your heart dog and I know so very much the hurt and lonliness. Please contact me if you ever want to talk.

Preacher,
Rest easy now and please be sure and look over your mama. She's hurting a lot right now and needs to feel your presence. We're glad you're not in pain anymore.

[Giselle]

Oh no. Those eyes are just melting through me. Our firsts always mean so much more, don't they? But in the end, we have to be thankful for all that they've taught us and for all that we've learned. I'm sure Preacher feels the same way

Oh Tamara, you know I don't get on to PT as often as I used to - and was so sad to read about your darling Preacher boy.

{{{hugs}}} to you and Stuart.
Your first foster failure - and I THANK HIM for making you that way!!!

I seen the name of this thread and knew what had happened I'm so sorry that it had to be this way, but you knew what was best.

I can't seem to stop crying, I can just imagine how you feel right now.
I'm so very sorry

(((HUGS)))

RIP Dear Preacher

Glacier,
Major tears here. I'm so sorry to hear about Preacher's passing. From your stories about him, I came to feel for him as a stately old gentleman, very dignified and graceful. Even though I knew him only through PT, I felt as close to him as one of my own dogs. Rest easy Preacher, until we all meet up again at Rainbow Bridge.

[My Peanuts]

I got chills reading this. I'm so very sorry to hear about Preacher. I'm glad that his suffering was short.

RIP Preacher

I am so sorry that Preacher had to leave us. I know how hard the decision was, but I know it was the right one.

Preacher was a sweet, dignified old guy. He will be missed by many.

Lots of hugs for both of you.

[Cataholic]

I am so very sorry. RIP, sweet Preacher boy.

[finn's mom]

I am so sorry that I missed this. What an amazing life you lead and what tremendous lives you give those animals. I am constantly amazed at your spirit, and the spirit of your family. Preacher will be in my thoughts tonight.

Major LES here. Tamara, my heart once again goes otu to you in this most difficult time. Your tribute to Preacher was beautiful.

Godspeed, Preacher. Play hard at the bridge, sweet boy.
