The Nuke called me around eight o'clock Monday morning, she was on her way to the veterinarian as one of her dogs, one of our granddogs, had collapsed that morning and her prognosis didn't look good. When the vet's office tells you that they would try and keep your four-legged family member alive until you get there, that's not good.
Our dear granddog, Kodi, passed before The Nuke could get there.
We are devastated. Kodi, and her sister Bear, have been so much a part of our family for over a decade that it feels as if an important part of our lives has been ripped away.

Lord knows, she tried.
She was a good dog.
We will all miss her so much.
Sleep, dear Kodi, we'll see you again some day ...
Aaaah man.......pups never live long enough when they take leave of us. My condolences Sarge.
ReplyDeleteShe was a very good dog.
DeleteBeen there, done that. Hope it’ll be a few years before it happens again. Sorry hor your loss Sarge, hang in there.

You could see it coming, didn't make it any easier, that's for sure.
DeleteIt's like losing a child or in this case a grandchild. As we age time seems to pass more swiftly, and I hope your loss will pass quickly also. We never forget. If they are not waiting for us on a bridge after our time passes I will be very disappointed in Him.
ReplyDeleteSame here.
DeleteAll dogs go to Heaven
ReplyDeleteIf they don't, I don't want to go there.
DeleteDave64 - I truly believe that.
DeleteGerry - Ditto.
DeleteCondolences, Sarge.
ReplyDeleteOur pets. We really do not deserve them.
They are part of our lives, we are their entire life.
DeleteWe know the pain. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks, Dave.
DeleteIt is kind of tough when the best dog in the world leaves.
ReplyDeleteCondolences.
Thanks, it's harder than most people think.

ReplyDeleteI was just a pup when we first met,
I loved you from the start.
You picked me up and took me home
and placed me in your heart.
We shared all life could throw,
but years passed all too quickly,
my time has come to go.
I see the tears that fall when I'm not
waiting at the door.
You always did your best for me,
your love was plain to see.
For even though it broke your heart,
you set my spirit free.
So please be brave without me,
one day we'll meet once more.
For when you're called to heaven,
I'll be waiting at the door.

Beautiful, thanks Diane.
DeleteCondolences to all for the loss of a furry family member.
ReplyDeleteOur son had two litter mate labs, and indeed the survivor was befuddled at the absence of the other when he passed. Earlier, they had gained another lab (ensuring a house full of shed fur at all times!) and that meant that instead of a 3 dog pack it was now just the pair, which was probably easier than if it were just the two original dogs.
Love them dawgs, I do.

They are steadfast and loyal companions.

It's amazing what a big hole they leave in our hearts.
My condolences to you and your family.
Love without bounds, without conditions. A pure love.
DeleteThat's why I decided not to get a dog when I retired. I couldn't go through the loss of one again. Kipling's poem 'The Power of the Dog' sums it up.

After our last cat died three years ago, we decided we couldn't go through that again. Also, as we get older we were afraid of leaving them in the lurch.
DeletePass on my condolences. Losing a pup is always a sad event. I hope Bear bounces back quick.
ReplyDeleteWe're very worried about Bear.
DeleteAw, man, that sucks. The really good pets get to become part of you and losing them feels, no, is losing a part of yourself.
ReplyDeleteWe've lost two really good dogs over the years and we still feel their presence.
It leaves a big hole.
DeleteI'm so sorry! They tear a hole in your heart when they die. 💔
ReplyDeleteI do believe that they will be waiting for us when we die.
They take that piece with them and they leave a piece of themselves. Love can be hard.
DeleteLove IS hard; but worth it,even with the pain. Condolences.
ReplyDeleteBG
Yes, it IS worth it. Years of good memories, happy memories which I'll cherish forever.
DeleteI am so sorry to hear of this.
ReplyDeleteA sad time.
DeleteI am so sorry for your loss never quite covers it...but I am so very sorry. Pets are family too.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and your family.
Suz
Thanks, Suz. They most certainly are family.
DeleteDogs leave pawprints on your heart. Never forgotten and always near to our hearts.
ReplyDeleteYou will see him again. I do hope Bear soldiers on for all of you.

Always remembered with love.
