Title: One last long ride
Post by: Shed Stud on June 26, 2011, 09:05:20 AM: We lost our golden, Buck last Tuesday. Buck was the only male out of nine pups so Buck fit real good. My good friends sold all the females and then handed me this white furball almost nine years ago. I was lucky enough to take Buck to work with me every day. He was a truck dog, always in the pickup even if we were at home. No crate, kennel, or leash, he would sit or walk calmly by my side until we hit the woods. I never knew losing a dog would be so hard! Yesterday it finally hit home as I was a mess. I guess I'm typing out my feelings.
Buck past at home in my arms, one hard seizure took Buck from this world in a matter of minutes. I wrapped him up in his favorite carhart coat that he slept on since he was a pup, and loaded him up in the rhino for one last long ride to the top of our mountain. I really miss my old white faced boy!
See you soon boogie. We love you Buck!
Thanks for listening, Brandon

... I'm sure you have years of fond memories.
I've been in your shoe's and it's tough to loose a family member. We never have them long enough.
I have found that puppy breath helps.

Post by: RadSav on June 27, 2011, 07:10:31 PM: So sorry to hear of your loss :'( Our prayers are with you.

DON'T CRY FOR ME WHEN I'M GONE

Three score and ten are given to man,
But ours is a much briefer span.
So, though I give you all my heart,
The time will come when we must part.
But all around you, you will see,
Creatures that speak to you of me;
A tired horse, a hunted thing,
A sparrow with a broken wing ...
Pity - and help (I know you will)
And somehow, I will be with you still;
And I shall know, although I'm gone,
The love I gave you lingers on.
