Bottom line, our dog has been going downhill and we finally decided today, she just isn't doing well.
Today was my mother's birthday, and just after getting her favorite simple KFC meals it became apparent our dog Tara was at the end of the line. I had hoped we could put it off. But unfortunately my mom's birthday was not the happiest.
Tomorrow is Tara's birthday. She just missed being 12, and thus being allowed in the 13 Club of the German Shepherd Club of America.
Too late now to try to post pix. I may try later.
Goodnight, my sweets.
Sorry about your loss.
Your dog will be making new friends in Heaven. A lot of my friends have lost their German shepherds this year.
Our sympathies.
Thinking of you.
It’s a very tough thing.
.
I know how it hurts to lose a Best Friend...Heart!
Sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find peace. My lab is 11½ years old, I dread the day. Dogs are family. Prayers for you.
So sorry...may Tara RIP and be a lovely, lifelong memory
Losing a sweet dog is something we all dread, so I feel mighty bad for you. Think I’ll go give my pair another hug.
I’m sorry for your loss, OlLine Rebel, I know it is hard to bear, but it’s part of the gift of life the Creator has given to us.
very sorry to read about the loss of your good buddy Tara.
“Grieve not nor talk of me with tears,
But smile and laugh as if I were beside you,
I loved you so...
T’was Heaven here with you.”
So sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry. Our furbabies are family and losing them is so difficult. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My condolences. Gone through it three times before. Not the best times in my life, still, the experience with each one of our dogs was worth it.
So sad :( my condolences to you and your family..RIP Tara
Sorry to hear.
I know how you feel. Very sad.
I’m sitting here with my 13yo German Shepherd and dread of the day you speak of which may be soon for us.
When my previous Shepherd crossed the rainbow bridge, I considered that he had graduated from this life unto his next one. Sort of like we would graduate from high school unto College. He learned all he could from me and was ready to be with his Creator. He now has a new painless healthy body and running around in the heavens.
It is sad that Tara had to leave you on your mom’s birthday. Yet, think of it another way, your mom and Tara now share a new birthday. Today is Tara’s first day as a newborn spirit. Tara’s spirit is now with you. Always.
{{{HUGS}}} and {{{WOOF!}}} to you family.
In my prayers tonight.
I lost my Daisey at the top of the year. It’s tough losing you best friend. I will pray for peace for you.
So sad. Sincere condolences.
(ours are getting ‘that age’, too)
