just shy of 11 years in our lives.
almost our entire married life.
he represented the bond we began, the union, and the first attempt at being parents.
he was the first dog that my kids knew completely.
he taught them unconditional love far more, and more deeply, than we could have.
he was a family member.
he was a true addition.
he was a phenominal dog.
he was a lover of life. and lover of all people.
he was a terrific partner, friend, silent warm blanket.
he always found my feet to sit on - just to check on me, and be sure he knew where i was sitting.
he was murphy. our first baby.
rest in peace. we loved you so very much.

:-( That makes me so sad. I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm also worried about what our first loss will be like. Our "baby kitty" is 10. She's healthy now, but will not always be so.
Why can't they just live forever?
Oh Karin,
My heart breaks for you, too!
It seems so unfair that such loving and faithful creatures have such short lives compared to us - and which means we have so many to whom we must say goodbye.
I'm so sorry, K. :(
Oh I'm so sorry Karin.
:(
Hugs to you.
Sad indeed. My heart goes out to you all, and especially to you. May you find the words (and the silences) you need to help your young ones through this. :(
