Longest ride home Ever

[waynieZ]

Monday afternoon my wife and I had to bring our Sweet Belle ( Westie ) to the vet and I had a bad feeling when we left the house. She was 16and 1/2 years old and going blind and deaf but still full of love. I held her in my arms until the end and she kissed my arm and was gone. I reverted to a 5 year old and when I got in the car he came out in full force. My wife and I sat there like un consoleable children and that was the longest ride home of my life. When we got home the grand children were there and were asking about Belle and when she would be better so she could come home. We got out of site until we could get our selfves together to face them and the questions, then they all went home and the silence and emptyness hit home. It feels like a sad empty place right now.

Love you Belle, I'll see you some day, save me a spot on the couch.

Sorry for your loss Wayne. We all know these family members only live a few short years, but it is so difficult when the time actually comes. And then we go adopt another little buddy, because our (and their) life is so much better with them around.

Wayne -- No words can console. This I know for fact.


Get yourself together and get out there and get another little bundle of love. It's the only way you can gain your since of peace and calm back. We all need that "friend" there to just put your hand on... or wake up to.... or half to get off our asses to let them "out".


I don't think I could have made it thru the last 90 days without Stella by my side. I was so sick and just laying on the couch and she'd crawl and move until she was up on me. Even though it wasn't really very comfortable to have a 60 pound dog on me.... I didn't mind one bit.

Sincere condolences Wayne, their time with us is far too short yet it creates opportunity for another wonderful and mutually rewarding relationship.

So sorry for your loss Wayne. Been through it far too many times, yet we all keep coming back for more.

Sorry for your loss Wayne. It's tough when we lose our best friends but our lives are so much richer for having known and loved them and having them love us...
