Someone once said that guardian angels sometimes come covered with fur and wagging a tail. I, for one, believe that.

Bless you for rescuing Solstice.

Your story reminded me of King, a wonderful German shepherd I had during high school, who had to be euthanized back around Christmas 1973.

I still miss that dog, and sometimes I still dream about him.

I have 5 cats and I love them, wouldn't give them up for anything. But I do miss having a dog.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss, but don’t ever feed chocolate to a dog again.

I thank you so much for rescuing Solstice and giving him five years of good life. I can sense your anguish at his loss. He obviously was a quality dog and both of you benefited from being together.

As you know, as time passes the sharp hurt starts to ease and eventually you will be left with pleasant, enduring memories of Solstice.

God bless you and Solstice. May you meet again on The Other Side.

The day I realized he was sniffing near the Rainbow bridge, panicked me. It was too soon.

I had that moment with my cat, Rocket. He had chronic renal failure. He was crazy about raw hamburger,
and the day I offered him his usual serving, and he sniffed it and walked away, I knew he didn't have long.

I hope he was happy with me. I love him so much. He was a very good friend. I hope I did well by him.

Of course he was happy. They know when you love them, and they love you back. A better friend Solstice
could not have had, and you did well by him until the end.

You were his brave protector, and he was yours. May you meet him at the Rainbow Bridge, and please say
"Hi" to me and my Rocket when you get there.

Take comfort: you will see each other again. I can promise that animals do have an afterlife.

July 12 will be 7 years since my Timber passed away...the hole left never gets filled, but the ragged edges do get worn smooth with time...

We will see our furry friends again. Of that, I am convinced.

I feel for your loss, I know what it is like. In recent years, I had a few cats cross over as well as losing my mother a week before last Thanksgiving (2013).

God blessed him with someone who would love him all his days left, and you did that.

You will see him again, not just in the other life across the Veil, but if you ask Father will let your beloved companion let you know he’s not far away.

When one of mine passed, I missed him so much I thought I’d go nuts. One night I was sitting at the table, and I felt his paw on my leg, looked down and there he was, smiling at me.

Every once in awhile I see him, or one of the many others who’ve passed on over the years, and I know that the Veil grows thinner every day. Soon, I won’t just catch them out of the corner of my eye, I’ll be covered in dog, cat, and horse kisses, and I’ll know I’m finally home.

Blessya for giving Solstice five years of wonderful life, for such I am certain.

Thank you for your simple, heartfelt tribute. In that way, you share him with those of us who never met him. Meeting a good dog is always a pleasure. :o)

God bless. My fondest memories of my blue heeler are the softness of his muzzle, and him licking my face when I slept through the alarm. Kind of hard to get to sleep now days.

I’ve been late to work several times lately. Miss my pup.

I am so sorry.

I too lost a dog to Degenerative Mylopathy.

For 18 months, I carried her 85 pound self outside to go potty and every day, I asked her, “Today, Pookie?”

Except for the very last day, she always wagged her tail, smiled and said no, she was still content.

It was hard but I’d have carried her for years without complaint, if she’s wanted.

Her sister Phoebe had passed 6 months prior and I think she decided she wanted to be with her beloved sibling/friend again.

Know that he is once again happy, healthy and is waiting for you.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear doggie. I take comfort that in the last years of his life, he was very well loved. I hope that when your heart heals up a bit, you can find another rescue to save, thus honoring the memory of Solstice.

“I hope he was happy with me”

He was happy with you. Rescues seem to know their humans are special. Prayers up for your comfort.

You ask if he was happy with you. My dog is a rescue...they know of course he was ecstatic with you.
