My Best Friend / May you rest in peace Lobo
Lobo,
You were and are my best friend. When found you were the orneriest little guy in the bunch but I knew at that moment we were going to be together. So easy to train, extremely obedient and always at attention yearning for that next command. I have told the story about loading you up in a cardboard box lined with a blanket and bringing you home that evening countless times. When we first got together I was at the lowest point of my life and I needed some rescue. Raising you from a pup gave me the drive and responsibility to keep me positive, moving forward to rebuild my broken body and refresh my reasons for life. Even when you drug a nine foot Christmas tree a hundred feet, through the ice and snow, at only six months of age I couldn't be mad at you with that goofy face. While I was healing you hung out with me and loved on me unconditionally like no one else could. My most favorite memories are when we would fall asleep together in the recliner and when I woke you were still there keeping my thin body warm. You shared your love and affection without abandon to all you met. So sweet and gentle with the kids at Lowes when we took you out to socialize, they had to pull away to get you to stop kissing them. So handsome, so handsome. Everyone commented on your thick beautiful black coat and strong blocky frame. You proved countless times to have the strength of a bull but the playfulness of a child. All of that came in so handy when you snuggled in bed, played "under the bridge" at our feet and especially when guiding your friends Mikey and Max on walks around the park. I have owned many dogs but you will be missed the most. You were taken from us way too early but my faith tells me that you were needed elsewhere. I owe you a mountain of gratitude and respect for your undying faith and friendship that no other being could have provided. There is a permanent hole in my heart that will not be filled until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. I sure am going to miss you buddy bear. Your best friend, Marc

Sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel. I haven't had another dog since my boxer, Lola died 5 years ago. She was THE best.

Condolences, I understand what you are going thru, we lost 2 Greyhounds last year, Oppie was 2 days short of 15 years old, and Bo was just 6 when he developed a Brain Tumer. It is always hard to lose them, and we never get to spend the time with them that they deserve.

Sorry for your loss, my three min-pins are at my feet while I type this.
I've had quite a few dogs, never easy to see them go, but my Chocolate Lab Missy is missed the most. She left us back in 2003 after watching, guarding, and loving our family for over 14 years. I can barely type these words. I also agree that the best road to recovery is to get another one. When the time comes, and you are looking at a bunch of lab puppies sprawling around, there will be one in there just for you. Seems like we always know which one in the litter is going to be the right choice......Cliff

Marc,
Sorry for your loss. I write this knowing our last "baby" is nearing his 16th birthday. I have to agree with many here. The best cure for the loss of a dog is another dog.
