Sad Farewell

[Michael M]

Just a quick note to let all my friends, collegues and fellow posters know that my little Avatar passed away yesteray, after a short but valiant battle with cancer !

He was the most amazing animal I have ever had. He was just a little mongrel from the shelter that picked us out about 13 years ago...He was very quiet and the most gentle creature you could ever meet, but so incredibly smart.....he wouldn't even cross the road without sitting at the kerb first and waiting to be told to cross.

He will be very sadly missed...R.I.P, my little buddy !!

My condolences on your loss. Dogs truly are the best friend you can ever have.

 

[Michael M]

Thanks Colby
Yeah, they never whinge, or ask for much do they.
He was pretty special.

Really sorry to hear that. I don't have a dog myself but grew up with them and my girlfriend, who's a veterinary nurse, has a cross breed that someone bought in to the surgery one day. She too is unbelievably well behaved and does the same when crossing the road but is approaching her twilight years.

They don't live long but their stars burn brightly whilst they do

Michael sorry to read about your loss, we have a dog and in the past know what it is like to loose very good dog friends as they truly do become a family member.

My heart goes out to you and your family.

Thanks Dom, I appreciate your comments
Your girlfriend would understand perfectly...!
Regards M

Thank you for the message Trevor.
It's helping ease the pain knowing others are sharing it.

I see your from Tamworth, GB....I spent about 15 years in Tamworth, NSW.
Great place, except for bloody country music !!

Sorry for your loss Michael. I lost a pup a few months back myself. Amazing how quickly one can get attached too.

 

[Michael M]

Hey Jon
Yep, the little creatures get to you fairly quickly...and we had 13 odd years of the little guy.
Thanks for you comments...it really helps us !!

I'm so sorry. They really are a member of the family.

I tear up just thinking about saying goodbye to my dog.
