DanvillRob Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We've known he's been on 'borrowed time' for awhile now. He got so weak a couple of weeks ago, that I made this video in honor of his life on a trip to Boston. We were gone to a National Specialty, (Dog Show), last week and got home Sunday night....and we knew it was time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-FPTE3gEos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyReb Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 So sorry man. I know pets become as much blood kin as anybody. I almost lost my Jack Russell " lady bird" to parvo a couple years ago. I felt like I had a child dying in the hospital. She made it though. But I never woulda thought a little ole dog could made a 6'2 240 pound man cry. Lesson learned. Great video too. Loved the music. He surely lived a long full life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol fred Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Bob, takes a while...they really are just like your children. Not going to be long until I go through it again with my ol coyote. Hang tough pal. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Unless something went over my head, which is highly possible, Fred did u say you had a coyote?? There are certainly plenty of them in the hill country of northern Californis where he lives. I rode around the area with Fred in a golf cart a few months ago, and there's some pretty wild country in his backyard. He's even got his own personal gold mining operation--albeit on a small scale--just across the road and down in the creek. It would be just like Fred to have a coyote as a pet. He's a bit of a nature boy underneath it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvillRob Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Sweet, Bob. So sorry he's gone. Thanks, Nick. He was a great friend. So sorry man. I know pets become as much blood kin as anybody. I almost lost my Jack Russell " lady bird" to parvo a couple years ago. I felt like I had a child dying in the hospital. She made it though. But I never woulda thought a little ole dog could made a 6'2 240 pound man cry. Lesson learned. Great video too. Loved the music. He surely lived a long full life Thank God Parvo didn't get Lady Bird....it's an awful disease! Thanks for the kind words. Bob, takes a while...they really are just like your children.

I had a tough time reading your post about the Rainbow Bridge..... still tough to type even! Rob , get the bird out and right him a song ... I'm sure you will be able to come up with a beautiful song for him . and may you be together again in heaven God Bles JC Juan Carlos, that might drive him AWAY from the Rainbow Bridge!
