Don't think any eyes are dry after reading that! What a beautiful tribute! I think Bandit is smiling down on you from doggy heaven, wagging that big tail! I'm so happy that you got to make this tribute. I know you have struggled with it for a long time!
Wow Laura!!! Vilken vacker hyllning till din vackra vovve!! Det rörde mig till tårar! Jag kan verkligen förstå hur svårt det måste ha varit att ta det beslutet, men man gör ju det för att skona djuret från lidande även om det gör jätte-ont i själ och hjärta. Jag bävar för den dagen med våra vovvar, törs knappt tänka på det, men den dagen kommer, det vet jag. Har varit med om det som tonåring när min far var tvungen att låta vår underbara katt somna in. Det glömmer jag aldrig, men han finns fortfarande kvar i mitt hjärta och jag tänker på honom ofta. Tack för att du ville dela med dig av dina tankar och din sorg efter din kära vän!
Oh Laura, what amazing journaling. We lost of Dalmation not too long ago and this made me remeber all of his traits too. Especially knocking everything off the tables with his tall.
ok... TRYING to hold back the tears (tear tear) I stilll have not scrapped my dear 2 dogs that have passed... it is soo hard.. I am not still sure I can do it yet! just beautiful....love how you did the hidden journaling!!
Oh my goodness, this was a tearjerker! I can see why you struggled with it! Losing a beloved pet is so devastating. I hope this LO helped you make peace with Bandit's passing. The LO is such a beautiful and moving tribute to him.
Ah, my dear friend Bandit. I have put off doing this tribute to you for so long knowing how much it would hurt to think about you and dredge up all the old memories. But somehow tonight, I feel closer to you than I have since we said goodbye. I still think about you so often when I come home from work, wagging your tail so that everything in the vicinity not nailed down would hit the floor. I still think about the long walks we took every day and how you loved to chase sticks. I still remember all the times you tried to protect me - even when it wasn’t necessary. I still remember your warm, furry body leaning on me, your head in my lap and the fact that you had the softest ears ever! I had ten wonderful years with you and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
We came so far together, you and I. Halfway around the world - and you were always here with me. I only wish you were still here, sitting beside me, instead of up on a shelf in a little white box. I will always wonder if I made the right decision to send you home to heaven when I did. There have many decisions in my life that have been tough, but that one - saying goodbye for always - topped them all. If it was the wrong decision, please forgive me and know that I thought I did what was best. You were too beautiful and proud to be allowed to suffer so.
You’ll live on in my heart and memories always. Until we meet again….
