My Beautiful Sparklie Eyed Girl NEW
by: David

I don't know why I figured we had so much left to do. Had some great ideas for places where you could play with hawks that flew above you. Rent a beach house for a summer, stuff like that. I was so tied up wit legal BS the past couple years I didn't pay attention to the fact that you were ten and you ran and jumped and punched me in the gut like you did 8 years ago. Couple of forever puppies.
6 days ago the last day before the fever messed things up YOU MADE ME TAKE YOUR PICTURE. www.shamwatch.com I posted it two days ago. I could never get a picture. You would flash me a crazy premediated staged look I think cause it made me laugh, I'ld say hold that let me get the camera and when I got back on to something else.
But this time it took me like 5 minutes and when I got back, the same smile the same twinkle resting you head in you illegitimate 3 year old daughter 'The Goo'
Yesterday when we couldn't sleep and you couldn't stand and we played all our old favorite songs like Dadddy Cool all night long I was trying so hard to do the right thing for you .This morning when I tried to pick you up myself to take that long ride to the ER in a makeshift carrier lined with your favorite oriental and my silk bathrobe as a pillow I briefly thought my god what will people think if only for a second. But when for the first time in 10 years you told me you were in pain with a yelp when I tried my best to be your gentle lamb; It felt the the whole world and everything I ever believed in or stood for abandoned me. I love you so much Trixie Gods Ultra Love Upgrade. I called hospice lets go you me and the Goo for a walk on the beach one more time. I love you my beautiful sparkly eyed girl, together forever and ever as agreed.

A Quick Hug
by: Vicky

Hey Scoob, things not too good at the minute. Wish you were here to make it better. I need one of your special healing hugs my love. I look at your pictures every day Scoob but it still hurts me when I do. I love you so much xxx

Saturdays
by: Vicky

Hi baby boy, Saturdays are my worst day Scoob. You know why. But not only that - think it's cos you were always round me on Saturday we were together, cleaning, ironing, walking, whatever I did you did! Do you remember how long it took me to get my ironing done cos I would always stop to give you mommy kisses. I still cannot believe you're gone my lovely. I know now that I will never ever ever find another like you. I look at dogs on rescue sites I'm looking for you it's stupid I know but I can't help it. I love you Scoob xxx

Sometimes I know your there
by: Vicky

Hey Scoob, just wanted to say that I knew you were around me when I went for my op I could really feel you by my side when I was waiting for surgery and also on the ward after. Thank you baby boy for still being there to comfort me. Its helped me feeling you because I guess this means Im forgiven for what I had to do. I hope so because I love you so much. I think about you every day. I still smell your lead and your baby but your smell is wearing off baby. Keep coming around me darlin boy love you.xxxxxxxxxx

Response To Tim G
by: Anonymous

Hi Tim thanks for posting. It helps to think that there are so many of us supporting each other during these dark times. You know for me now it's just over four months. I've just had to have an op and I miss my boy so much because he would have been sat by my side never moving unless I did. I'm blessed with another beautiful furbaby girl my little Pixie who I love with all my heart I really do. However Scooby was my number one boy and always will be. He was such a special character and my soul mate. I hope that you are doing okay. Kind regards, Vicky.

Feeling your pain
by: tim g.

I feel the same pain you are. What's ironic is that I had my dog Sheba put to sleep the same day Scoob had a stroke. My pet loss story is also posted titled "My Little Shadow". My dog Sheba was also adopted from less than ideal circumstances. It's been almost four months and my heart still aches. Your posting really moved me. I hope your heart heals soon.

Snow
by: Vicky

Hey Scoob guess what the snow is coming and it made me think of you. Do you remember all the fun we had in the snow you loved it so much. So this time it won't be the same without you but I'm gonna throw a snowball into the sky for you. I love you baby boy. xxxxx

Update
by: Vicky

Christmas was so hard without you baby boy. It's a real struggle now you're gone. I miss you. I came to your special place on Christmas day to tell you I love you - did you hear me? I wish you would give me a sign that you are okay. I've asked time and time again but not had anything (well perhaps once). I'm lost booshkin, totally lost without my gorgeous boy.

Thanks
by: Vicky

Dear Coral thank you for your support and for telling me your story. I cried when I read your words and send my support back to you too. Just when you think you are feeling better something happens and you are back at square one. For instance today I had to speak to the insurance company and they asked me to tell them the pets name on the policy and I couldn't say it I just started to cry. I think you are very brave to consider having another dog. I've already got another one a beautiful Staffy called Pixie I got her in February and I will be honest I don't know how I would have got through this without her. She is so loving and knows just what to do to make me feel better albeit just sitting still or maybe making me laugh she always gets it right. There are so many dogs that need help. I've just been reading about 35 dogs coming from a rescue in Romania that need a home this Winter. Is it fair to say never again when we can offer such a good home to a deserving furry friend. I don't know the answer but follow your heart there are no wrongs or rights. Well done on your charity work your dog would definitely be proud. I might do that next year when I feel a bit more up to doing stuff. Thanks again, take care Vicky

Canine Soulmates
by: Anonymous

I lost my 14 year old Springer Ralph 5th Nov 2011 after almost 13 years together and just over a year on I still grieve and cry for him most days. He was my saviour, my heart, my family, my friend and my canine soul mate. The house still feels so empty without him. I went from the stage of "I'm never going through this again" to now " I would love some day to give another rescue dog a home one day". Even though it only feels like I lost him yesterday and my heart still aches for him I know he would want me to give another a home. And as much as it hurts I wouldn't change a thing, I would go through it all again to have another 13 years with him. I, like you did everything I could for my furry friend but sometimes it's out of our control. Scooby knew how much you loved him and although I don't think we ever truly get over the loss of our furry loved ones I think the pain becomes easier to bear with time. I've collected lots of toys and Christmas treats to take to a local shelter in honour of Ralph and I've got people at work involved, I know he would be proud of that.
I can only hope that one day, after that final goodbye, there will be another hello.
Thinking of you at this very sad time.

Thank you for reading and commenting on my story. It was very hard to type it but it did help. I'm so sorry to hear you have been through the same as me. I'm still crying every day trying to do it when nobody sees me as my family are doing a bit better than I am. He was my baby though. I'm not sure how I'm going to get over this. Love and light to you and hope you are okay.x

Scooby

I'm sure Scooby did appreciate your bravery on being by his side as he died. It is ok to grieve and cry, but not for too long. Scooby would like to see you pull yourself back together and be strong. He is in heaven now, guiding you from above. :)

Thank you

I just lost my doggie on Sunday night and I am comforted to read your story of love for Scooby. I am working through my grief, but I have difficulty because I just miss hugging and kissing my doggie.

May our beloved doggies be in peace and may they watch over us.

Scooby
by: liz ireland

You did do the right thing I had to do the same with my cat Milli. I loved her so much the grief is awful but you would have only been prolonging his death not his life. I will say a prayer for him RIP Scooby.
