Dutchess, I miss you my friend

Postby Doggydaddy on Wed Dec 24, 2008 6:41 am

It is hard to believe that almost a year has passed since we had to put Dutchess to sleep. We should have done it a week earlier, but wanted her to have one last Christmas with us.Dutchess came into my life as a rescue when she was 4 and left for the "Bridge" when she was 7. She became very ill in late October and we tried everything, but she was in so much pain that my wife (Doggymommy) and I spent the day after Christmas last year saying goodbye to Dutchess. I only had the pleasure to be her friend for 3 years, but time is irrelevant when you have such an instant bond.

I miss you pretty girl, but I know you are feeling better and playing with all my past dogs. I will meet you again at the foot of the "Bridge" with all the others...and we will all cross the "Bridge" together... to be together forever.

Dutchess, mommy loves and misses you. Hang in there sweetheart, we will see you soon. Give Dakota, Axel, Wicht, Tarzan , Ajax and all the rest ( too many to think about or I will cry) lots of kisses from daddy and I .

I love you Dutchess.

Thank you all. Being a guy ( Gary will understand and Marco's Dad) it is hard to show or even admit we men have emotions. It was hard to do this, but Dutchess deserved a special mention.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments :)

I remember when she died, but not the exact time. It seems impossible that it has been a year. God Bless you Duchess!
I love my dogs, they keep me focused!

Hello,
I remember about Dutchess too. She was a beautiful girl and I know it is difficult for you. Think of the happy times you had and concentrate on all those blessings. Life is a blessing. Love, Elizabeth

Bless you for honouring your dear friend Dutchess. It probably still feels so new and will for a long time. "Until we meet again..." Wishing you and DoggyMommy peace and comfort, now and always. Deborah xo

Made me cry too :cry: We all love our babies as much as they love us-that's sooooo much love. You can't just let that go in a heart beat. It takes a long time before you can remember them with a smile and not a tear. :cry:

Hi Caramel, I remember the same. Chloe and Dutchess left at about the same time and I too think of your Chloe when I think of Dutchess. I am sorry to my friend. I know this is a hard time for you as well

Love, Staci

I just want to say that my thoughts are with you Doggydaddy, Doggymommy and Caramel. I couldn't help but cry when I read your tributes. One week, one year, or a lifetime, we never stop missing them and they will always be in our hearts. Hugs to all of you.

I am so sorry about your loss and I can imagine your pain. We just lost our small best friend on the 5th of January and I am scared how much pain we will still experience in the coming year. I hope you get through it in someway.
