Nicky, that is a great tribute to a wonderful dog.  I have tears in my eyes, even though I'm smiling at Trav who just dropped his big red rubber bone beside me, and is looking at me with dancing, mischievious eyes and a wagging tail.  Yes, little buddy, I'll get off the computer and chase you....  

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

Every since we've had Monty these things make me cry a lot. What a nice tribute. One will never be ready for that day, but it's unavoidable.

Have to go blow my nose and hug Jackdoodle.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

I am sorry, but I only could read about half of that before bursting into tears. I am pregnant and really super emotional.  I cried the other day when I realized that Peri is over 3 and probably 25% of her life is gone. Tacky's probably over 1/2 way through.  Why am I being so pessimistic?  That was beautiful though. And I loved the part about knowing when it's time. I remember when mom and dad had to put our family cairn down 3 years ago.  He had the best last day - he ran for the first time in weeks and chased squirrels.  Mom almost re-thought the decision to let him go, but we all decided as a family, let's let him go on a high note.  It was time.  He had cancer.  Need to now go home and hug the dogs.  Thanks for sharing :)

[Karen & Lucy]

I wasn't going to read this b/c I am dreading that day when I must do this.  But I broke down and read it and, yes I am bawling.  People that are not dog lovers have NO idea of what a friend and companion our beloved dogs are.  As I look at Lucy through tears streaming down my face, I love her even more.  She is a part of me that I NEVER want to be separated from.  Thank you for posting this article.  ALL should read

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

This is such a moving tribute....thank you for sharing it.

What a tribute! Only dog lovers know the love between a dog and his owner. Stories like these always make me cry but it is a good cry knowing there are people who know and cherish the love a pet. Thank you for sharing!

[Jennifer]

I knew better than to read this. Beautiful. My heart breaks for their loss as I know the pain of losing a beloved pet... like so many of us unfortunately do.

[Jennifer and Jack]

Oh my gracious ......that made me sob....I can't understand why a dogs life has to be so short......what a tribute!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Wow - crying here but what a beautiful tribute to a dog's life so well lived!!!

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Thanks for posting this, Nicky.  It is a beautiful tribute, indeed - and a reminder of how important it is to enjoy every day with our "fur babies" as their lives are so incredibly short!

[cheryl & oliver]

Nicky, thank you for posting this beautiful tribute to a very beloved family member.  I was tearing up ast the beginning knowing what was coming.  But this was done so beautifully, and it is wonderful to know that this wonderful dog was so loved and appreciated by this family...I look at Oliver, and my heart breaks to know that somewhere down the road we have to go thru this with all our pets.  I am still not completely at peace with the loss of our Renny, Oh I know we did the right thing, it was time, but the hole in my heart is still there and I miss him very much.  Oliver still misses him and occasionaly I find him wandering around the house and looking for Renny.  Sometimes he will lay down in Renny's favorite spot...I guess he can still smell his scent....
