I am broken. Her death was so sudden and there was nothing we could do to save her from what we suspect was a ruptured spleen. If anyone would like to chat, please email me on dodabby(at)gmail.com and perhaps just talking about it will help. I lost my precious GSD girl three days ago. I am broken.

I lost my very dearest and closest freind; Scooter Doopers. She became ill on Sept 30th, 2009 and had to leave me faster than I ever was preparred for. She passed at an animal hospital on Oct 5th, 2009, she was almost six. That was truly my most saddest day. I would have traded years off my life to have been able to say goodbye as your pawents did. What they did with you and how they shared all of your experiences has helped my, especially this post. You would have liked Scooter and she would have liked you, she even resembled your looks a bit. Like you, she was able to make an incredible difference in the short time she was here. I was not able to give her the absolutely incredible time your family was able to spend together. But just knowing that there actually other people who put love and family above all is very, very uplifting. Thank you Jerry and to your family too. You all have made a difference in my life also. I would like to share a short tale with you if I may. It is about the final hours my Baby Girls and I spent together, I know that you'll understand. Our Farewell: The call came late; I already knew what was to be said. I rushed to you, to bring you back home. You were so calm. Seeing you without your light shining bright was so very hard, but I knew. As we crossed the desert the road opened up for us. Lying by my side, as always, we traveled slowly and the drive, our last, seemed to linger somehow. The night air was cool, and the moon shone brightly through the darkness. The clouds raced by across the sky in unusual patterns. It was like the whole universe knew that you had passed and that your spirit was being taken in. There was not a single sound to be heard, everything was completely still as the soil yielded. I laid you down under the grass where we played so often; at the home you were born and we made. At 2:00 am on October 6th, 2009 I said my final goodbye to your body. You were my closest companion, my dearest loving friend, and an intricate part of my spirit. I will always love you and miss you. Your Greatest Friend. .. .... .... When you see her please give her a thousand kisses from me, and maybe share some of your love and spend some time with her while I cannot, she would really like that. Very Sincerely, David Jerry,

Our Farewell:

The call came late; I already knew what was to be said. I rushed to you, to bring you back home.

You were so calm. Seeing you without your light shining bright was so very hard, but I knew.

As we crossed the desert the road opened up for us. Lying by my side, as always, we traveled slowly and the drive, our last, seemed to linger somehow.

The night air was cool, and the moon shone brightly through the darkness. The clouds raced by across the sky in unusual patterns. It was like the whole universe knew that you had passed and that your spirit was being taken in. There was not a single sound to be heard, everything was completely still as the soil yielded.

I laid you down under the grass where we played so often; at the home you were born and we made. At 2:00 am on October 6th, 2009 I said my final goodbye to your body.

You were my closest companion, my dearest loving friend, and an intricate part of my spirit. I will always love you and miss you.

Your Greatest Friend.
.. …. ….

When you see her please give her a thousand kisses from me, and maybe share some of your love and spend some time with her while I cannot, she would really like that.

Very Sincerely,
David

But, somehow the universe works its wonders to bring a new life into your arms, and you can smile and laugh again. Blessings!
