Please say a prayer for Buddy

[zippy-kat]

So, so sorry this has happened to you Liz.
You are doing a brave, unselfish act.

Oh Liz,
My prayers are with you. I know your heart is breaking, and you will miss Buddy terribly. Remember the good times, and eventually you will be able to remember without pain; only gladness for all the years you had together.

May God bless and comfort you in your loss.

Dear Liz..
No words can even express how I feel.
That poem, so true and touching always makes me cry.
You are so brave and unselfish.
I know Buddy had a safe trip to the bridge and given his much deserved wings.
He'll still be taking good care of you.
Remember, Liz, we all love you, care about you and feel your pain
We are here for you always.
{{{ hugs}}}}

Oh Liz, what a sad day, I know how much you loved Buddy as I love Perry and Daisy. I keep that poem in my desk and read it quite often, it did help me when we lost Kona in the same circumstances that you lost Buddy.

Right now there is not much one can say to stop the hurt and I know how much you miss him. I feel that he is at the bridge with all of our beloved pups and beloved friends who went before him, I'm sure they are showing him the way and Kona will mother him as she did Perry and Daisy before she made the journey.

Please know that we are all here to listen, talk about him, listen some more and help in any way that we can. I am so sorry, you have our deepest sympathy.
Jackie, Don, Miss Daisy and Perry

Liz I am sorry that I haven't seen this post until now. Logan e-mailed me with the sad news and I have just now read each positive post right up until the one where you said the arrangements were being made. That is when the tears started. I think most of us here at Pet Talk have walked down the road you are now walking. There are not words to describe the feelings, but we all know them well and can commiserate with the tremendous sense of loss you are feeling now. Liz, I am glad that you have this wonderful Pet Talk family to lean on at this time. Sometimes even our friends and families don't understand but the Pet Talk family does. I feel just terrible for you and want you to know how much I care. Buddy, you were loved very much here on earth and we rejoice that you are pain-free at last at the Rainbow Bridge. {{{Hugs}}} to you Liz who now face a life without your friend. We will keep you in our prayers.

Oh Liz, I am so, so very heartbroken that you must part with your beloved Buddy. You are the bravest, most loving, most selfless Mom a dog could ever hope for. Your decsion was made out of love and I am sure Buddy knew that. I know that now your Buddy is running happy and whole and free and without pain in the most beautiful place imaginable. I know too that my Jingles is there to greet sweet Bud and show him around. I know no words can ease your pain right now. But you have so many friends who love you and Buddy deeply and we are all here to give you our strength, support and love. My heart is breaking. But as Phred says, God must be in need of one very special pup to help hin in his work. I know one thing for sure, Buddy is one of God's most cherished furangels. I send you and your family my deep sympathies, love and a very big hug of comfort. I wish I could do more. It is like losing one of my own. Bless you Buddy. You are very loved and will be missed by us all. Love Sandra, Star and Cody

We've been so close--we two--these years,

That poem was one that helped me as well over 3.5 years ago, especially the lines above.

Buddy, our dear, dear boy. You find my Bailey and Tizzie at the Bridge. They are very good girls and you can all tell stories about your Moms and all run and play with no pain. Then you be sure to watch for us, okay? We'll keep an eye on your Mom for you, so you don't have to worry about her.

Keep your tail up, Buddy, and wag it lots.

As I haven't been on pc much lately , I had not noticed this thread until now ...

Oh my dear Liz , You must be crying your eyes out now .... .
I know how it feels .. I only just lost my beloved cat Sydney one week ago .. It feels as if a truck ran over your heart and stomach ; everything is acking so much ...!
Please dear Liz , accept my sincere condolances !! I want to give you the same advise as al these dear Pettalkers gave me :

try to remember all the nice things you did with Buddy , all the sweet moments you had together !!! Buddy is playing at the Rainbow Bridge now , maybe he met my Sydney already !!!
You have given him a wonderful life and you did everything you could to save his life !!!
Please do not feel guilthy because you decided to let him go !! This was the most beautiful thing you could do for your darling !!!

Be brave now dear Liz !! We , Pettalkers , will get you through this ordeal !!!

Dearest Liz,
I'm crying right now as I read this post. I'll be praying for you. Let me share this poem that I found in the web. I could hear Buddy's voice as he comforts you. He had the best time of his life.

Take care of yourself and God Bless,

I'm Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

Liz,

I'm so sorry. I should have been on here reading. Sue emailed me and told me about Buddy. I understand totally. It hasn't been that long since we lost Butterscotch and Smokey. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. Call anytime. You and Buddy are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope he found Butterscotch and Smokey...they can be buddies and play together. Buddy was a dear sweet baby. He even got along ok with Tigger which is no small feat. I'll miss him even though we only met once. Know that you're not in this alone.

Thank you all so very much. I got to spend about 30 min.
with Buddy this morning before he went to Rainbow Bridge.
The vet brought Bud into one of the exam rooms & spread
out a carpet for Bud to lay on .They gave me a small bag of
Alpo treats to feed to him as we visited. I hugged him lots
and kissed his sweet face over and over. I told Bud that he
had a whole bunch of people who wished him well & wanted
to say goodbye to him. After awhile the Doc & vet tech came
in and we all sat on the floor with Buddy.I held his head and
kissed his face as Doc gave him the injection to send him on
his journey to the Bridge. He died very peacefully.Bud just
laid his face down on his paw and passed on. My house is a
very lonely place without him. I am having a private cremation
done, with Bud's ashes returned to me.I will bury him in the
back yard in his favorite resting spot. Liz & Buddy.

I am so sorry.

[sisterdog]

Dear Liz,
You have my heartfelt sympathy. It is so hard to let our dear ones go. I'm sure Buddy will be waiting for you, happy and pain-free at the Rainbow Bridge. Know that my prayers are with you.

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Oh Liz, I'm crying reading your post, I'm so sad, it does bring back memories of us taking in our 15 year old Schnauzer Kona two years ago, I know exactly how you feel. Buddy is in a better place right now without pain, and I know he will be waiting for you just as I know Kona is waiting for us. I can feel your pain, but Buddy would want you to go on with your life and someday you will look back and laugh at his antics as I do thinking about Kona. Please take care of yourself and get some much needed rest.
Jackie

Liz, this is the first time I have seen this thread. I didn't know until now, that Buddy left us. My heart breaks for you. Prayers and good vibes are coming your way. I can just about see what I am typing, having cried through most of these wonderful messages about you and your love, Buddy.

Rest in peace Buddy.

Stay strong Liz.


Fondly,
Sallyanne
