OT: Dillinger has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge

Today was a gift in that the weather enabled Dillinger, I and a dear friend of ours to sit out back on the porch, where we petted and loved Dillinger up, as he did one of his favorite things, which was to lie in the sun.  That is what I will try to hang onto as I grieve the best buddy I could ever have.  The last few days were marked by some changes that made me know the end was close and at about 8:30 tonight, surrounded by 3 people who loved him, Dillinger left this vacant place in my soul, but he will never be forgotten, not by me or the many people who came to know and love him. 

RIP dear Dillinger 

Thank you all for the love, prayers and support you have provided.

I posted on facebook and will here, as well.   So sorry for your loss of your faithful friend.  I know that he is looking down on you now with so much love for all the support you provided for him.  I am not going to claim to understand how you are feeling as I have never been a pet owner.  But, I know there is going to be a spot in your heart that will always be missing him.  Just fill it with all the happy memories you have of him.

My Kaiser who went this spring was waiting at the bridge for Dillinger and they are now running happy and healthy in the sunshine. RIP

 

Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for the kindness than the loving heart of me.............................................
          And, my friend, when I am very old, and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun. Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands.


...Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears,but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you...
I loved you so-`twas Heaven here with you.

Laureen---my heart is breaking for you this morning. Remember all the wonderful times you had with him and all the love. Know that he is at peace now. Sending you a big cyber hug!!!

he was certainly a fighter Laureen <3 and had an amazing mommy.... 

think not of your "loss" but think of all that you have gained by having Dillinger as a part of your life <3

Much love.

Laureen,

My faithful friend Roxy went to the Rainbow Bridge early this Spring.  She had cancer.  I held onto her until she fell asleep for the very last time.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I am sure they have met up with each other and are running around no longer sick or lame.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry. You were a wonderful mom and friend to him. You put all your heart into your relationship with him. Know that my heart goes out to you as Iknow this is a difficult time for you.

Fragile Circle

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."

Irving Townsend.

Laureen - hugs love and all the support you need.

I am sitting at my desk crying my eyes out because I think Dillinger touched all our lives even though we didn't have the pleasure of meeting him

Take care of yourself

Laureen - I'm very sorry for your loss.
