Missing my dog, riding, and rain...

[Trek420]

I'm sorry to hear about your pup. They say the only bad thing about dogs is they don't live long enough.

I know I'll just be inconsolable when my pup goes. She's literally saved my life a couple times. Ok everyone, hug your doggies {{{{{ }}}}}}

I am so sorry to hear that you, too, have lost a furry kid. Mine was five years ago, and still stings when I think of it, but, if it's any comfort, when I think of my Yogi dog himself, it's only love and wonder that I feel!

We had gotten a pup when our Yogi was diagnosed with cancer, and they had 17 great months together. 'Cuda was such a difficult pup - a real handful! But when Yogi passed over to the Rainbow Bridge, 'Cuda became so depressed we were worried for him.

We thought we'd wait a few months before getting another dog buddy for 'Cuda. We knew we'd never have another lonely only, but thought we needed more time....'Cuda didn't let us. It was 10 days after Yogi's passing that we drove 3 hours to pick up Diva. I wouldn't have it any other way.

'Cuda's personality changed a lot - he's very sensitive and serious and rather a momma's boy, but he's quite assertive about all of that. <smile> I think it's rather sweet.

Keep that love going, wabisabi, your furry friend appreciates, and the one who waits for you at the Rainbow Bridge does too. I've gained much peace and joy and wonder because of the whole experience (it led me to photography), so, as hard as it was, I wouldn't change a thing.

Oh, yes, the other thing that came from that experience of losing Yogi, is that our dogs are now blood donors. 'Cuda has actually saved the life of 2 other dogs. I'm very proud of him!

Big hugs to you, lots of healing light and loving energy. Ride when you need to ride, but cuddle with your dog whenever you can!!!

Namaste,
~T~

dog blood donors?

{{{{{{{{{wabi}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pet! We become so attached to them - and they to us. I know your pup is probably feeling better now - but knowing that doesn't really ease your loss any. Sounds like a bike ride - even in the pelting rain with no gear - was something you needed. Sending healing wishes your way my friend.

dog blood donors?

Yup! My brother's dog was also a donor.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's hard to lose a beloved pet. They fill such a precious place in our lives.

Remember all the good times you had together.

Ah, wabisabi. Hug your boy tight. He can absorb a lot of tears. Lost my previous pooch 10 yrs ago just before his 16th b-day. I still tear up at times.
