Farewell to My Very Sweet Friend
-
It is with Sad heart and many tears that I had to bid Farewell my Very Best Canine Friend
Phoebe the Wonder-Hound
May 3, 1998 - December 19, 2010I raised her from a pup and she was always there to love and comfort.She was the sweetest of dogs. But time took its toll and she became very sick and in a lot of pain. I will miss her forever.

I'm sorry for your loss as a dog is truly a 'man's best friend'

Thank you very much.

Hi David,
Sorry to hear that you lost Phoebe. Like you, I am a dog person and have had one hanging around since I was a kid. People that have never experienced the great pleasure of having a canine companion for one reason or another find it strange that the master can go through a rough period of mourning and feel a lot of hurt but this is the case.
My present buddy, Jock, gets me out twice a day for a walk come hail or high water. I would be lost if I did not have him around as I know I would get lazy. The chances are that he will pass along before I do and I dread the day. I hope you will find a new buddy to take Phoebe's place in time to fill the gap.

We lost our dog of 18 years just a few weeks ago. You don't realize how much a part of the family they become, even if they are "just dogs", until they are gone. Truly sorry to hear about your loss, we know exactly how you feel. Hope you'll find a friend at the pound/adoption center when the time is right.

As another "dog person" I pass on my condolences for your loss. Think of all the good times you had and she will still bring you joy.

Hi David,
Until now, two dogs are gone from us. The third is now already 14 years old. Dogs give you a lot of joy. And then it is as a child had gone. My sympathy is with you and i feel with you.

Sorry David.
Life is cruel, but the worst must happen sooner or later.
I know, 2012 is barely 2 years away!But truly I am sorry, I am grieving on this side too.

Thank you all very much for your support. I appreciate it very much. One of the things about this is my son is right now in Russia and Kazakhstan serving a mission for our Church and he doesn't know yet. We will be talking to him on Christmas Eve and will have to break the news to him. that is going to be tough. Thanks to all of you again to help me through this.

The bad news keep on coming huh?
Take my advice and spread it among your family, tell them she would be more happy where she is knowing all of you are happy. Simple but true, don't let this event rule your life.
-
Oh no.. . you're absolutely right. All of our memories of Phoebe right now are sweet and dear to us. We laugh and cry with each new story. (She was sweet, but a bit of an outlaw as well. She has stolen more loaves of bread than Jean ValJean in A summer run of Les Miserables
)We'll get through this, but it's gonna take a bit. Christmas will still be merry.

Glad to hear, glad to hear...

I'm very sorry for your loss. We have gone through this now 4 times in our life's. We have no more tears left to shed. My wife and I have decided not to have another dog, Its simply to hard on our soul to go through another death.

Tomot,
Please consider going to your local dog pound AFTER Christmas and give some unwanted mut a good home. Dogs live for approx. 10 to 14 years, that's their innings and I imagine they are happy enough with the deal. It would be a shame for a dog lover such as you and your wife not to share your lives (again) with a hairy little buddy. You will be glad you did

Oh we are definitely going to get another Dog. it's just that right now we are in the process of moving and building a new home. (that could've been a great cause of anxiety to Phoebe --she has only known the home where she lived--who knows what she sensed?)
But suffice it to say that when we are settled in about a year from now or so, we will be adopting again.
