The only thing harder than loosing a loved pet is to loose a child from what I know. Thank God, the later hasn't happened to us. But, pets, yes. I'm still a bit weepy about "Buddy" a 12 year old golden retriever who died 10 years ago. We have another rescue golden, and two others, but Buddy was a saint. You both have my sympathy about your pet. <br /><br />I hope you're looking in shelters for another pet you can love who will share life with you. I found Logan, our golden retriever, in a shelter the day after Buddy passed. We've had others, but Bud was so unusual. He and I were firmly attached at the hip according to Karen.<br /><br />Logan was waiting for me at the door to go for a walk by the way. I adopted him right away, and then we got Thor from a family who couldn't even pay his vet bill. (A dachshund on steroids). Karen had Oscar by that time. He's a silky terrier. I do not recommend the breed by the way. He's a biter, dislikes all dogs, etc., etc. Had to take him to a doggy shrink to learn how to handle him. Never had one like him before.<br /><br />Again, you have my sympathy and understanding over your pet.<br /><br />Regards, Ed ThomasEd&Karen Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133717061051319149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-19872419501616176112012-03-13T09:44:43.530-04:002012-03-13T09:44:43.530-04:00Sean and Louise, so sorry to hear about your loss....Sean and Louise, so sorry to hear about your loss.<br /><br />We will be thinking about you in Death Valley and the fun time we had in Shoshone a few years ago.<br /><br />Jim and PatJim and Pat Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284990880239025031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-55841109748997371482012-03-12T14:45:56.616-04:002012-03-12T14:45:56.616-04:00I am so sorry to hear of Opal's passing.

I don't always check in...<br />I'm sad. <br />Opal has been such a part of your experience, it will be a long time before the hole is healed.<br />She had an outstanding life, and that's something you can be very proud of. You'll have all those photos and videos for eternity. <br />The scooter videos were especially awesome.<br />My heartfelt condolences.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-86037839854403122692012-03-12T12:20:09.666-04:002012-03-12T12:20:09.666-04:00Oh you guys, we send our condolences, we are out o...Oh you guys, we send our condolences, we are out of the loop and didn't know about Opal's passing.<br /><br />Our hearts go out to you, we know how hard it is to lose that one special heart dog.
