1 year anniversary of my Konan's passing

[muchkin]

When we got Konan I didn't want another dog. We had a pit at the time and I thought that was enough. We went to "see" him as my husband said and he knew that I would fall in love with him instantly, and I did. He won me over at first sight. We had him for almost 9yrs when I found him laying as far away from the house as he could get. I was feeding them and he didn't come up to the house when I called for him. I looked at the other two puppies I have and said "where is Konan" and they went toward where he was at but would not go all the way there. So I took a look for myself and it became the most horrible day of my life. He never showed any signs of being sick and it was not cold enough for him to have frozen, I didn't know what could have happened. My husband was a work and I was by myself and I called him crying and trying to tell him he was gone. He came home to bury him and to calm me down. Well it hit me hard but the next day after it all sank in it hit him harder. They were best friends. If my husband was in the back yard then Konan was on his heels. He loved to be around my husband. He loved to play pranks on Princess by tipping her food bowl over after it was just filled. She use to harass him at the food bowls when they were younger. He learned that he was tall enough to reach the door bell with his nose and that he got a response from us when he did. So he would ring the door bell when he wanted to come in and when he wanted food. So you can imagine now how we feel when the door bell rings. He passed away Jan 31, 2008. This week end is the anniversary of his death and it is going to be hard on my husband and I. We still have our other 2 so that is great but we miss him.

What a rough week for you. I am so sorry for your loss. Konan sounded like a wonderful dog and I love the picture, it definitely shows the love. Take care this week and know that my heart goes out to you.

Konan sounds like quite the character! Thank you for sharing his story with us. It is going to be a hard week for your family so I'm glad you are remembering all the funny things about Konan. He was peaceful and at home. You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers.

It really bothers me when I hear someone say, "it's just a dog", no they are family members and a very loved, cherished pet.
My heart goes to you, this is something we all can relate and our deepest thoughts for you.

Thank you all for you kind words. Konan was not "just a dog" like some people do say. I agree with the post above this one. It kills me to hear people say that to. Konan was a part of my family. It is funny because I don't have kids and everytime my mom would call and Konan was around me I would ask him " Konan you want to talk to grandma?" and he would bark into the phone like he really was talking to her. He was the only one out of my 3 that would do that. The other two could care less. But they know who there grandma is. Again thanks so much for all you kind words and your thoughts.
