Maya looks to have been a real cutie ^_^

Sorry to hear about your loss remon :(

My parents had the dog before i even was there, so i kinda grew up with it,

When i was born, the dog was about 6 years old, a big german sheperd with the name Rex.

Ive enjoyed this dog always, so much, i still miss it till this day. Here's why

As i grew up, i found out that Rex was very strong, and kinda nuts, as i one day climbed upon his back, and went 'dog' riding with it. I 'drove' it trough the whole street, 2, 3 or sometimes even 4 times a day, and he loved it; and so did i.

As i got older i became to heavy to sit on his back, wich i regretted very much, but we found a new hobby, jumping off bridges.

It was a hot summer day like any others in that month, and i decided to go swimming iwth some friends in the creek a few hundred metres away from my house.

As always Rex went with us to try and catch the many fish that always swimmed in the creek.

At a moment we decided to all jump off the bridge to make a huge splash (the bridge was 6 meters high... lol) and like always Rex was again standing ontop of the bridge barking at us, probably warning us not to jump cause we could get hurt...

Ofcourse we'd done it many times and didn't really cared anymore, so we jumped, what happened next, i still can't really believe.

Rex, who'd always been kinda scared of heights, walked a few steps back, started to run, and jumped from the bridge in the water, and he just loved it...

Everyday we went swimming he went with us and even before we had undressed he was the first to jump off the bridge and wait for us in the water.

that continued for many years every summer, and we always had a great time.

Till the summer of 1999.

As the summer was at its height, it was unbearable in and outside the house, half of my friends were gone to vacation and only me, Rex and 2 boys and a girl were left. So i called them to go swimming again, ofcourse, they were glad cse they to had nothing to do.

I called Rex and as he always did, he immediatly jumped up and ran out the door, waiting for me at the yard across the street.

Suddenly i heard a car braking hard followed by a really weird sound that i only can discribe as a hard squeel.

I ran outside to see what happened but i saw nothing but a car racing around the corner, but a second later i saw our own dog, lieing in the bush beside the street.

I ran towards him and saw blood coming out of his mouth, he was still breathing, but not for very long.
I just stood there shocked, while my father, who had also come out to look what happened ran towards the car.

Half an hour later the pet doctor came back in the room, if we wanted to see our dog one last time alive.

We all stood around the table petting Rex on the head, and saw he was still barely alive.

The pet doctor told us that he had to let Rex sleep in, cause he had very much pain and wasn't able to get well again.

An hour later me and my dad had dug a hole in the backyard, while my mother had bought a huge stone for on the grave.

Untill this time I still miss Rex very much, we've got an other dog and a cat now, but I will never forget Rex, and the great time we had together.

Sounds like Rex was a great companion to grow up with vossejongk - thanks for sharing your memories of him ^_^

Couldn't agree with you more, him.

Even if nothing else about "the afterlife" is true, let the Rainbow Bridge be there
:please:

This our Black Lab, Brutus, who was born June 28th, 1993, and passed away October 18th, 2004 of a blood tumor on his lungs. He was 12 years old. Bru was a great dog and companion, as Labs always are. He looked like he always had a smile on his face. It's been almost two years, but it still hurts. We had him cremated, and have his ashes on a shelf next to an 8x10 picture of him. I really do hope Rainbow Bridge exists.

Just a little memorial for Bo, our Beagle, who was born April 1, 1993 and passed away on June 5, 2006. He was 13 years old. Bo was sick for a long time, until he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After that it was just a matter of time. I noticed him breathing hard on June 5th, and we got him to the vet. X rays revealed a gigantic tumor that circled his internal organs. He was in a lot of distress, and I made the decision to have him put to sleep rather than suffer. It really hit me hard because Bo was the first dog my wife and I got together. Bo was a gentle, friendly, and happy dog. We had him cremated, too and his ashes are on the same shelf with Bru, along with his picture. It will take me a long time to get over this loss.

So very sorry for your loss equestrian, its hard to lose a loved one or two so close in time, the important thing here is you gave them so much love and happiness in there life, nothing on luck, it was just their time.

Don't be depressed, remember the good times you had with them and i'm sure in time you will find a new friend to put all your love into they gave to you. :heart: :heart:

I'm dealing with the loss of my dog right now and can understand the pain you feel, just remember we are all here for you.

I lost my Best Friend on the morning of... - August 24th, 2006 -... My Handsome 7.5 yr old German Shepherd... My only companion... My Buddy Max.

------------~ :heart:

Everything seemed normal Tuesday, August 22 during the evening... we played out at the park and came home again... A couple hours later I went to bed and left him to lay in his box... the favorite spot of his in the kitchen like every other night.

He got up and started to wander around the house... room to room... I got up and told him to lay down... After going back to bed he got up and started to wander around again almost like he was disorientated... After telling him to lay down once more he seemed to stay there for the night.

In the morning getting ready for work he looked a bit ill but nothing I have not seen before... his stomach sometimes got upset and had a previous history of digestive problems... it happened a few times a year.

I gave him his food and went off to work... upon return it took him a lot longer to greet me at the gate... but made an effort to be there... he was there everyday waiting for my return.

When I went in the house and turned off the alarm... something wasn't right... he was not there at the back door but down at the pond laying next to it and drinking tons of water followed shortly by puking it up.

I took him to the vet where he was diagnosed with bloating and given a shot to relieve the pressure then taken back home with me including some medication for the morning.

He was not feeling well that evening (wednesday) so I comforted him and laid by his side in the bedroom talking to him and even saying my goodbye's if something happened... I don't know why... but I'm glad I did.

He was restless getting up and laying down... showing he was in discomfort and didn't want to stay in the bedroom... so I let him go back to his favorite place in the kitchen to lay down at about 1am.

I went back to bed thinking in the morning if he is not well I would take him to another vet to find out why.

When I got up at 6am Thursday morning for work and to see him in the kitchen, he was laying there on his side... I called his name a few times... without a response I went up to touch him... still very warm... but gone.

I tried everything to revive him... I had to try... I really think he tried to hang on as long as possible to see me one last time... but couldn't... I cried over him hugging him tight.

I had an necropsy done and he died of Bloat with Torsion... a twisted Stomach that extended to the intestine... not much could be done.

------------~ :heart:

I really miss him... it has devastated me... he meant so much and gave all he could to me in love... security... fun... companionship and brought me friends... He became a very well known member of the forum.

A huge thing i'm very grateful for is how he brought my first close zoo Friend to me... Dirtyfox.... My first contact which in turn brought me Tundra Wolf... Doglover4601 and Emmy... starting a more social life for me... He got the opportunity to travel with me twice to California and meet my first zoo members who got to meet him... bonding to his personality and looks instantly.

He brought me so much joy and happiness... I couldn't of asked for a nicer dog... he was almost human like in personality and so incredibly smart and handsome.

His life was cut short so rapidly... so unexpectedly... I'm having a tough time with this... sometimes you wish they could live forever.

Max... I'm going to miss you buddy... you were a great friend and companion.. You gave so much love... and I loved you just as much back.

I will truly miss you buddy and you will always have a place in my heart. :heart:

Rest in peace my Friend... I will never forget you and what you did for me.

Good-bye my Friend... Till the day we meet again...
