Lost My Brother

Barney on Grief - Thu, June 28 2007

My mom is very sad right now. She just had to put my older brother Barkley to sleep. He was the first dog she had owned since being a kid and he was like her first child. They had been through a lot together. She has been crying a lot, so I am doing my best to make her feel better. I can't replace Bark, (he had a good 30 pounds and several inches on me) but I hope I can help mom feel better soon. When we walked tonight, she told me how much she loved and missed him. Well, I better go snuggle mom right now. Thanks for listening. Barney Dog

You're a good dog, Barney, to take such good care of your mom. Tell her me and mom will be thinking of her. We're sorry for your loss.

I know how it is to lose such a longtime friend. It is the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Just take it one day at a time. My grief is still very fresh, so I wish I could tell you it gets better, but I am not there yet either. Hang in there!

We are so sorry for your loss. I know it is hard right now, but you will find that you will start to remember the good times with Barkley and that will put a smile on your face and still maybe a tear in your eye. Our beloved Boss had prostate cancer a year & 1/2 ago and had to put him to sleep. He was suffering so... It still is hard but we did everything we could and loved him so much that it seemed the most humaine thing to do. God Bless. You will be in our prayers tonight.

So sorry for you. We come into pet ownership knowing we have limited time to spend with them. It always goes by way too fast. I know you'll always look at this stage of your life...the "Barkley stage"...as a wonderful time. Now, you're on to another stage. Different, but still exciting...
