Offlinebethany, we are so sorry to hear of kobe's passing. his blog and forum posts were always wonderful, and we really feel like we got to know him through your words and pictures. you gave him a final selfless gift by ending the suffering and pain – and sadly you now feel the pain of losing a wonderful tripawd brother. hopefully with time the happy memories will push aside the sadness. love never ends.

OfflineKobe may have taken the sunshine with him to The Bridge, but he'll send a bit back down to make you smile again Bethany.
Run free Kobe!

OfflineOh Beth,
I'm so sorry to read about Kobe today. As other have said, I think this is an even tougher for us Tripawd owners having been and going thru so much with them..
Hugs to you while you heal…

OfflineBethany,
I am sorry to hear that Kobe's journey has come to an end, as always far too soon. As you said- you know that you did the right thing- but that does little to ease the pain of loss. I hope it does bring you some peace to know you did all you could for him, including the ultimate, unselfish act of letting him go.
I am just past 4 months missing Maggie, and each time I read one of these posts it brings a few tears. But I can tell you that with a little distance the good memories outweigh the pain.
Sending strong, peaceful thoughts to you and your family tonight.

Thank you everyone for your kind words – it means a lot to us! My husband and I are hanging in there but our house seems too quiet. One thing Kobe and I had in common was our love of routine and every time we pass a previously scheduled time (for feeding, walking, medicine) there is a tug that we should be doing something for him. This morning when I got out of bed I was careful to not step on Kobe and then remembered that he wasn't sleeping next to my side of the bed…..and then the tears.
All of you really help to make Tripawds such a helpful, comforting place and I really appreciate your kind words and comforting thoughts! You helped us through this process every step of the way and we both (Kobe too because he benefited from your tips and words of wisdom) thank you!!

OfflineBethany, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much Kobe meant to you and what a special dog he was. I wish you strength as you go through this difficult time and hopefully soon there will be smiles replacing those tears as you remember all of the fun times you had with him.
(((hugs)))

Oh Bethany I so so know what you mean. I am so sorry for your loss of Kobe….your words above took me back like a rocket to the first days after Magic went to the Bridge. I was awake and moving to the pill box at 4 am to start the daily meds when I realized there were no meds to give…and no one to give them to. It will be tough for a while and then tough at different times (a lot when you come here to help others starting their tripawd journey) but the journey was one that every one of us undertook knowing the odds weren't good but willing to do whatever we could for whatever time we had. We celebrate successes and we cry with every loss.
I am sending you a huge cyber hug…

Dear Beth,
am really sorry you lost your lovely boy. I know how you feel now,and there are no words that can provide enough comfort. Its always hard for me to read posts about someones pup passing,cause can really feel your pain,and relive the days when I had to make that heartbreaking decision and let my boy go. Its more then 6 months now,and it didnt get easier,just bearable. I even have a new pup now that really adore,but there isnt day I dont think about my brave angel Don,and can hardly look at his pictures without shading a tear.
Just take your time,cry as much as you want,its ok,they are worth every tear. But then just try and find some happy tear as well,for all the precious memories that will stay with your forever,and for knowing that Kobe is now running around again,pain free, watching over you forever.
hugs and prayers
