Oreo is no longer with us
« on: June 14, 2007, 11:27:07 am »
This past weekend, it became evident that Oreo was nearing the end. The past few weeks were trying on him. His mobility became very compromised, his hair continued to fall out in clumps and he started losing control of his bodily functions. On Monday night, it was with great sadness that I had my good friend put to sleep. Now, I dread coming home to an empty house after work and getting up in the morning without him next to me. He was there every day with me for almost 9 years. The longest and best roommate I've ever had.

I know in my heart it was the best thing for him. But I don't know if my life will ever be the same.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Oreo. I know how hard it is and my heart aches for you right now. Know you gave him the BEST life, all the love a dog could ever wish for - and you gave him the greatest gift by ending his pain for him when he could not...

I know how tough it is to come home to an empty house, it really sucks a lot. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Know that Oreo is watching over you, and is patiently waiting for that day when you'll meet again.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, I'm so very sorry.  You loved and cared for Oreo all of his life and you did the last loving thing that you could do for him.  But I know that doesn't make your hurt any easier or the house feel less empty.  I just went through that pain last year too, so I really do sympathize.  Let us know if we can help. ((hugs))

Oh Jason, my heart just breaks for you - I am so sorry to hear about Oreo. He was such a special boy. I'm thinking about you and sending tons of hugs.

RIP sweet Oreo.

I'm sorry for your loss.  that is the hardest thing to do, but sadly something we all go through as part of their lives.  we keep them during their lives and even after their lives are no longer on Earth!  they're here...in some great capacity with us Forever and Always.   I believe that...and i feel that. 
The empty house is tough since you're so used to the commotion and sounds of the pupper. 
i hope you get through this trying time with us...we are here for you!

My sympathies

I am so sorry.  I/we all know the feeling of the empty house.  When Navarre left I would say, my house has never been so loud.  And no, you will never be the same, you haven't been the same since the day you first brought him home and I'll bet you are a better person for it!
God placed me on this earth to accomplish certain tasks...I'm so far behind I'll never die!!

You are absoutly correct Your life has been changed by his big heart in your daily life,But your life will go on,and before long the memories of him in your life will be a blessing and the loss of him in the present will become a wonderful memory that will always be with you the rest of your life.

He is watching over you.I believe that.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
Author Unknown

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head
In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

Remember how I'd nudge your hand,
And poke you with my nose?
The frisbee I would gladly chase,
The bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.

But, then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.

But then I walked through Heaven's gate,
And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me,
From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity,
And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
For you see, each days's the same day,
There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn't do.

But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.
Michelle, Butt, Tub and Everybirdie
