I am so sorry that Opies journey came to an end today.  He will be missed by all of us. He was such an inspiration to us, Thank You for sharing your precious boy with us.

Opie was telling you his time had come, and you had enough strength through the love you have for him to release him from his failing body, never doubt that.

Rest in Peace Opie

Jo Ann &  Tasha

Words cannot express how sorry we feel at your loss of Opie but hope you accept our sincere expression of sympathy at this time. Opie was a very brave warrior and was with us for far too short a time. Please know that you will never totally be without Opie for the gifts that Opie has given will live with you forever. We can only pray for the time that you will be able to remember Opie with a smile and not just the canyon of a hole of lonliness that now fills you.

Sending you long distance hugs through a river of tears.

You are right Opie, people are crazy.............crazy about you.  I will never forget you. 

You made my dark days bright.  You made me remember that laughter can make anything better.  Through your wit and friendship, I forgot about all of the hardship years of having a tripawd child.   

And if I lose you Mom, too - my world will be so lonely.  She impacted me more than she probably knows.  And thanks to you Opie, you brought her into my life.  And for that, I am grateful.  I am very sad, but grateful.

Your mom and pops loved you so and they loved you so much they didn't make you suffer.  They knew.  They just don't see it right now because of the dark cloud that is hanging over them.

Thank you Opie for making my world and Comet's world a better place.

Nancy and Joe,

I'm so sorry to hear that Opie has crossed over...  I know he wasn't doing well towards the end... but I think you made the right decision. You know your baby best, and you saw that he was no longer enjoying his life. You did the most loving thing you could do... Now Opie is no longer in any pain, and is running free...

You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time... We will never forget that sweet golden angel...

Rest in peace sweet golden angel... Hope you get to meet and play with my Jake while you're up there... Tell him I love and miss him too!

we are so very sorry to hear of opie's passing.  it's so hard to let go, but what you did for him was totally loving and he's now pain free, playing in 'angel snow' with all the other angels.  why does it seem the best and bravest always leave us with the largest holes in our hearts...  it's almost too much to bear...  blessing to you.  gayle and charon

I am so very, very sorry for you.......your stories sure made me smile.....

I base my pets lives on the day that they cannot enjoy their own personal simple pleasures....that may be a ball for some, a frisbee for others...some it's just FOOD! 

You made a hard decision today but it is the correct one.....

Opie, rest in peace.....  There is never ever enough time.....

My heart is breaking for you.  It is so hard to make the decision to end our dogs' suffering.  It sounds to me like you did the right thing for Opie.  I think when you look at him and can not imagine making him live like that you know it is time.  Before we knew Emily's cancer had spread to her spine I was reading an article on how to know when the right time to let go is.  This particular vet said 'better to let go two weeks to soon than two weeks too late'.   Trust me, the pain of thinking you waited too long is almost unbearable.  It is good you let Opie go before he suffered longer.  I know, it doesn't feel good.  Thank you for sharing Opie with us.  I hope you stay on.  New people need to hear from us that have gone through this before them.  Please know you are in my prayers.
