The Preacher falls silent

[lizbud]

Oh no. I am so sorry. Preacher had a wonderful life with you and
Stuart. I really didn't expect for this to end this way. I am so sorry for your
loss. (I feel it's our loss as well.) Rest in Peace sweet boy.

You gave Preacher such a "Meaningful" Life as well as a "dignified " passing.

Your dedication and loyalty must seem to *Pale* in comparison with what he Gave back to you and Franky~

I'm so very sorry that You had to make that final decision Glacier~You always do what is Best for your Dogs~ So, you never failed on Preacher!!

May his Memory Bring Brighter Days back to You~

May He Forever Rest in Peace~

[Cinder & Smoke]

Preacher has given his last sermon;
His big voice will no longer echo through the forest.

Stuart told me that I should "just adopt him.
No one is ever going to love that ol' mutt like you do."

He was right. I adored that dog.
I signed the papers the next morning to adopt Preacher and his best friend, Franklin.

Franky and I will both be a little lost without him.



Rest well, ol' boy. You've earned it.

Dear Tamara and Stuart ~

Tears are streaming ...

We were just composing a new prayer on yesterday's thread -
Asking for God's Help with Preacher.

I guess our prayer was answered ...
By your final compassionate act of love - sparing poor Preacher
the pain and suffering of fighting a loosing battle with old age.

I'll go out tonight to listen for the New Voice at the Bridge ...
God's Bridge Choir has Preacher as the newest member.

Sing Well, dear Preacher - we'll all be listening.
Wear you Wings and Robe with Pride - you've earned them.

Franklin says "THANKS for being My Buddy ... We're all gonna *miss* you!"

{{{Hugs}}} to Tamara & Stuart

As I sit here typing, tears are flowing freely. RIP, Preacher, your Mom gave you the greatest gift by freeing you from your pain. Even though by doing it, her heart was torn out. You were such a handsome boy! You were very loved. Watch over Tamara and Stuart from RB, while playing with all our PT RB furbabies ...all painfree and whole again. Hugs.

My Shiloh left for RB the same way Preacher did. She had advanced bladder cancer and within 2 weeks, had to be sent on her way.

My heart goes out to you!

Tears streaming for you and Preacher. Trying to swallow the lump in my throat. With my loss being a week old, this has hit my emotions very hard. You gave Preacher the most wonderful life he could have imagined. He knew he was very much loved. And you gave the best gift of all by letting him go. Preacher enjoy yourself at the bridge with no more tummy pains, old age pains, etc. And watch your legs, Sebastian is there and he likes to chase dogs and might nip your heels!! Hugs for you Tamara.

I really am very sorry for your loss of Preacher. It's never easy to lose a companion so dear to your heart. You made the decision that is feared and felt by all pet lovers across the world, but deep down it was the right thing to do. I'm sure Preacher would have thanked you for putting his interests first.

Rest in peace, sweet Preacher.

What a beautiful love story the two of you created, Tamara. I'm so sorry you have lost him, but isn't it wonderful that his illness affected him only for a short time?

Rest in peace, Preacher. Say hello to my babies for me.

I just saw this.

RIP Sweet boy, you will never be forgotten.

[k9krazee]

My heart sank when I read this Tamara, I am so sorry for your loss, you can tell by your words how much you loved your boy. Rest easy, Preacher, you will be missed.

My very deepest sympathes go out to you. I don't get a chance to get online as often as before but when I do I look for posts from you. I love your stories of your dogs and have learned so much from you. As soon as I saw the title of the post my eyes welled up and I can't stop from crying even though I am at work.

Preacher was a very lucky dog to have found you and I know both of your lives were deeply enriched by the love you shared. Sequoia and I will send out a wooo to you and Preacher tonight.
