One Year
Thu Dec 16 2004


It's been one year ago today since our Robbie died.

I just wanted to note this and mention that hardly a day goes by that I don't still think of him. From the paw print we put in the front walkway,

to the thoughts I have when eating the last few bites of a meal that I used to share with his patient self, I am reminded day by day that he is not here any more.

He was a faithful friend for 14 years. And of that 14 years, we were hardly ever apart. He was a gentleman's gentleman of a dog with impeccable manners, and was beloved by many.

He enriched my life in ways that I appreciated when he was alive, but didn't know the true depth of until he was gone. And though I don't really know the theology of such a thing, I hope that one day we will meet again and roam the countryside like we did so often in life.

But even if that isn't so, I will never forget my furry friend,

    Wiping away a sad tear here for Robbie .
    Sigh ...we miss them so much when they are gone .
    Big Hugs

    He will be waiting for you when the time comes ..just this side of the rainbow bridge .
    Tail wagging and eyes sparkling ..as happy and as healthy as can be .

    Then you will be together forever in joy and perfect companionship.

    Do you know the poem Rainbow Bridge? I get a lump in my throat and a little teary when I read it. I think somebody sent it to CovertOps when she wrote about Murphy.

    I still miss my Miki and Squinchie. As pet owners, maybe we make a deeper connection with dogs. They're more likely to become "family," while cats maintain their independence.

    Ah, but it's hard.

    I know just how you feel. Dogs are some of the best creatures in the world and certain ones stand far above the others. My Princess was one of those dogs like Robbie. Well-mannered, faithful, and so very, very precious. I still can't think of her without crying. I miss her so...

    Robbie was such a beautiful animal. I know how much pets are part of the family and I'm so sorry for you loss, and happy for you that you have such wonderful memories of a special comanion and family member. The pawprint is such a sweet reminder.

    Thinking of you as you remember,

    Wow, that must really seem a long year since he hasn't been here. So sorry for you, still. ;-)

    That was such a sweet thing to do making a paw print of Robbie's paw. Now you can remember him always.
