I am so sorry for your loss. I think I know how you feel. I lost my beloved beagle Bradley this past February under similar circumstances (sudden loss of the use of his rear legs and impending loss of the use of his front legs, combined with advancing bladder cancer).

We were together for 16 years. I think of him every day, as will you of your Rookie, likely for the rest of your life.

Let us both hope that we will be reunited with our wonderful pets in the Hereafter.

My condolences on your loss. I lost 3 old ones over several years, all friends I spent much time with, they were family members. I know I will see them again, but I miss them terribly every day. Words cannot help, so I won't try. Just know many of us know how you feel.

I am so sorry for your loss. Be glad that you had the chance to say goodbye. I lost my beloved cat Bear (he was the best cat ever, I called him puppy cat), on 12/23/04. He got hit by a car. No time to say goodbye. No life and death decisions to make. He was happy and healthy and then dead, mangled, and gone.

I am so sad for you yet envious at the same time. You were there for Baruch and he knew it. My Bear was all alone.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your best friend and companion.

I lost my best friend, Soda, a little over a year ago to the same disease. A little over a month later she and God decided that I needed another "best friend" and they sent Rex to live with me. He's helped ease my grief and, while not replacing Soda, has filled the emptiness in my heart.

I hope Baruch helps you find another companion soon - believe me, he'll have a paw in the decision....LOL

Take care, my FReeper friend.

So sorry to hear of your loss...I am in my 60s....I grew up from a small child, in a household full of cats and dogs...I carried on that tradition with my own boys....there was no sound or sight in the whole world that was any better than hearing and seeing my two boys, burst through the back door, with their cats and dogs trailing right alongside of them...by my age, you can tell, I have had so many fine and furry family members, that filled my life for many years, and then passed on...

They are all gone now, each one special, each one remembered fondly, each one mourned...

Its so very hard, when one of these wonderful beings leaves us...their lives are generally so short in relation to our own lives...yet in their short lives, they give us so much love, that when they pass on, we can hardly stand it...we love them so very much, and they loved us...

I am so sorry that you have lost such a fine friend and family member....I will think of you and say a prayer for you...

What a wonderful dog! I lost my Sparky July 21, 2005
There is NOT 1 day that goes by that I do not think about him. To know the love of a wonderful dog is our priviledge.

May God, who gave you this wonderful doggie to care for... give you peace. Isnt it wonderful to know that God made this dog just for you because God knew how much you would love him!!

Be well and may your heart be filled with tremendous gratitude for the best 10 years anyone could have hoped for!!

See you at Rainbow Bridge!!

You have my deepest sympathy. I lost my Mooch to DM just about this time last year. Her's was not as sudden. We fought it for over a year. Wheel chairs were not an option for us either. Mooch was a 220 pound mastiff. Then, just a few months later, we lost Duke to a burst pancreas. It still hurts.

Grieve awhile and then get another dog. We now have Doc and PeeWee. Just a couple of strays we took in but they are good boys.

I apologize for the late reply, but I just came upon this thread now.

I'm extremely sorry to hear about the passing on of your faithful companion, Baruch. I truly pray that you will continue to feel the comfort & peace of God's hand.

I can understand what you are going through ~ I actually had 2 dogs return to Heaven this year. The first, Jesse (who actually shares a birthday with Baruch ~ April 15, but of '90) suffered a brain aneurysm on the 4th of July, and was given her final shot the next day. I also suffered greatly when she left to be with God. She was my "little girl", and my perfect companion of 16 years. I made a post about it that day (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1660809/posts) because I was in so much pain & shock, and the FReepers truly helped me through that time as well.

A month or so after Jesse returned home, I adopted a female German Shepherd mix (Austin). Because I volunteer at the local animal shelter, in early November, I was the first to find out that Austin's twin brother had become available. I adopted him, and named him Garrett.

Unfortunately, Garrett was sick, and had something wrong in his brain (possibly a tumor) that made him act aggressive, in an unpredictable manner. We made attempts at rehabilitation, but after he unexplicably attacked his previous owner (after 20 minutes of playing with, & kissing, him), I was faced with the horrible decision of sending my 2nd dog in 4 months back to Heaven.

I understand how difficult the days are now without Baruch, but like other people on here probably told you ~ it truly does get easier day by day. You will NEVER forget about Baruch, but time will ease the pain.

God Bless, and stay strong...

Cathy
