Good bye best friend..

What does " " mean after every sentence in my post that you quoted?

I did fetch the frisbee a couple times but then just decided Sunny knew best. I still have the frisbee in the trunk of the car.

 

Hello,

in html pages it means a _n_on _b_locking _sp_ace, in short it means to print a space at that position if you view the page in a browser. The posting editor does not seem to work as expected at the moment.

Maybe Sunny changes his mind some day .

Regards
Gyro

EDIT: Seems to have something to do with javascript, which I have switched off by default

 

Yup. A friend of mine had one like that. If you threw a stick for him he'd give you that look as if saying you needed a shrink and pronto.

 

It's Nice That You Are Devoting So Much Time To Adopting A Dog For The Future

Rather Than Dwelling In The Past,

Look Foward To Seeing A Pic Of Your New "Best Friend"...



Cheers Glen.

 

Alas, Sunny died January 2011 at the age of 13. He never did come around to fetching. He had many good qualities though.

 

Orison, I hope by now you're at a point in time when you can think back and only enjoy happy memories of the great times you and your dog had together.

 

I do, but sometimes it just hits me. I greet him everyday because his grave is in our yard. I talk to him often. I know his spirit is with me always. I have a ziplock bag full of his hair , I can nuzzle with him for as long as I live. He was always so white and red and his red faded much towards the end of his life. We now have a dog named Red, a pure breed German Shepherd she is. She is a smart dog. She will only come to me and dont like anyone else. She will tolerate others petting her but will bark in defense when others come near me.

Blue, he was vocal all the time only angry barked at strangers. Red barks at everyone but isnt vocal with me. After Red is fixed and some bills settle, we will be getting another husky. Maybe over the winter months. However finding the right husky is like finding a needle in a haystack .. Red was picked out proper like, comes from excellent breeders that continue to communicate with me about her progress. I didnt hastily purchase her, but I was getting strung out looking for another pet. I couldnt take it anymore. Felt like forever looking for a pet. Im happy with Red I dont want to make her feel second best because she isnt a husky.

 

I am sorry for your loss despite knowing that that is the nature of things. I, too, have felt such loss. When it happens, it's then that you especially become aware of the fact that they (dogs) are like the finest crystal vessel filled with the finest wine which, no matter how much you drink from it each day, is filled to the brim the next day, ready and willing to be partaken of once more no matter what.

When I saw her body on the ground, lifeless, there was nothing in the whole world but myself and the overwhelming presence of the concept of GONE, and my mind's attempt to wrap itself around the situation--to take control. I failed. That fine crystal vessel had broken, and the best wine in the world had simply spilled out and disappeared into the ground.

A well-meaning friend reminded me that death is not what I believe it to be. I said, "Be that as it may, I nevertheless feel very alone, and your words don't fill the big empty hole through the middle of me that is forcing me into this fetal position, so just leave me alone please. But time goes by, and the experience eventually fades and takes its place among the rest of the experiences that make up your life here.

 

Thought my dog had that - thankfully, she was okay. When I went to sleep she was wimpering any time her belly was touched, or made to move, and when I woke up she was energetically licking inside my nose to be let out.

 

I am so sorry Orison....... He was lucky to have you in his life ...... I know its hard!!

Peace and love to you my friend :grouphug:
