the end of an era

Toby died while I was at work yesterday morning. It was raining, and I buried him under the apple tree. The rain brought apple blossoms down in and on his grave as I filled it. It was a bit of poetry in nature that helped me ( Read more... )

oh no Stub, *hugs* I can't believe I am crying this much for someone elses dog.

Toby sure was a very much loved dog. I know we have different beliefs, but I believe Toby will be with your parents, frolicking like he was a young pup. And he'll still be doing that when you finally join him in many many many years.

I often wonder how big heaven is..(I still call it heaven), and if Jeffrey is likely to meet Toby, and other people and animals in my life in some way. Maybe Jeff and Bindie and Toby are having a good ol' doggie meetup, before Toby says he has to rush off back to your parents, since he's only new and has missed seeing them for so long.

I know how much Toby meant to you, and I know that there isn't anything I can say that will make any difference. It does get easier though. I still miss Jeffrey, but Dora fills my life with so much joy now that I'm not sad about him.

I wish you peace, and much Burt love over the next few weeks. xx

I'm so sorry, Stub. My thoughts are with you as you grieve the loss of your dear old friend.

When I saw the news on fb it made me so sad for you Stub. I know how special Toby is. He will always have that spot in your heart. They say that no matter how many animals we have and love that there is always one that is "that special one" and I am pretty sure for you that is Toby. I know that Molly is mine and how hard it will be for me when she dies. I have had other dogs and cats but there is something between us that is different. I know Toby is having a great time with your mom.

Stub,
Your post brought tears to my eyes. I'm so so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you're going through. It sounds as though he passed easily, and I hope that gives you some comfort. I'll keep you in my thoughts, and I hope you feel better.
