Dear fellow Hogs and Hogettes- Nick aka Grunt of Pork and I had to make one of the hardest decisions to put our Border Collie Sadie Girl to sleep today. The vet did surgery this morning and found so many tumors invading her sweet body and overcome her bladder and kidneys. She is greatly missed and we are deeply mourning her. She was a wonderful jeep dog and loved her daddy! She is now off Guard Duty and is up with all the other wonderful fur babies at The Rainbow Bridge. Please put us and Jessie, our Rhodesian Ridgeback in your thoughts in the next few days. I know you all have fur babies of your own and so I knew that you would grieve with us. Thank you for your time......

We love you Sadie girl :rolleyes:

Nick will be posting her pick up tonight :)

Here is pic of the Sadie dog. She was a fine dog and alot better than 90% of the people I know. She was always vigilant and never shirked her duty. All she wanted was to be petted, a treat or two , and the occasional car ride. She will be sorely missed.:( :(

RIP Sadie DOG

Nick and Kim, we are deeply saddened to hear of your loss as we are also facing a similar situation with our oldest cat, Jinx.:(

Our thoughts are with you,
Kevin and Jody
 
sorry to hear of your loss,, I know it has to be really tough for ya, I have a Chihuhuah named Brutus and it would be the hardest thing i had ever done if i had to have him put to sleep, so I can imagine your pains for the loss of that dog. :(
 
I'm not a regular in the Busse Combat Knives Forum but I usually check out all the forums at least twice a day. I'm sorry to hear of losing your Sadie Girl. I've had to put several of my dogs down over the years... led me to put my feelings to paper just over a year ago and after a few beers and my current 'fur baby' laying at my feet, looking up at me with his big brown eyes. Hope it helps...

A Remembrance...

We have had more good days than bad.
But my old friend , this one is very sad.
We must take this last trip to the vet.
This grieves me so, it's the worst day yet!

I'll be with you my buddy until the end.
My love & trust of you will never bend.
Please forgive me my friend; I hate to see you suffer.
Holding you in my arms has made our parting tougher!

I'll hold on to you as you lie on the table.
Hugging you so as long as I'm able.
As tears fill my eyes that I can not end,
I'll continue to comfort you, my best friend.

I'll hold you and stroke you while you leave this earth.
I'd like to think of your passing as a brand new birth.
I will never forget the day I brought you home!
All nervous and shy, you were ready to roam.

You didn't seem sure I was the 'human' for you.
I now confess that idea crossed my mind, too!
But soon we tested each other's strengths,
And found we both could go to great lengths...

To protect each other from what life sent our way.
All I can say is I'm glad you decided to stay.
You taught me to be patient, strong and brave.
I will always remember life's lessons you gave.

I'll cherish the fun we had on our walks,
And the uplifting feelings gotten from our serious talks.
You always seemed to listen to all I would tell
And give me that look that said... "I think you're swell!"
 
Thank you so much for all of your uplifting words and the beautiful poem. It is different around the house tonight with just Jessiegirl. She is at a loss to where her sister is and Nick and I are at one too. We are remembering the great times with her stealing cheese, sleeping on her back with tail up in the air and legs straight up, her riding Shotgun in the jeep, her first beach experience. I know she is up with all the other dogs at the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you all :)

Kim, Nick and Jessiegirl

Kim & Nick,

I'm sorry for your loss. We lost a 10 year old dog about a year ago, and got another one much sooner that we planned, and it really helped (although in 10 years I forgot how much work a puppy is ;) ). Nick, I know what you mean about the 90%; I have always thought that people talk about unconditional love, and a few people give it, but dogs always give it. Take care!

I am sorry for your loss. My 8 year old Golden Retriever died 3 years ago and eventhough my wife would like another dog I just haven't been able to put his memory aside to allow another dog to replace him. They bring as much grieving at passing as they brought joy during their stay with us.
