I’m so sorry about R’s passing and the unexpectedness if it. Know that he was very loved, admired, and appreciated for his love of life and gentle soul. Much love and support go out to you, the Runner, Shyla, and Hatchi during this unimaginable time.
KB and Runner my heart breaks for you. I am so very very sorry to read of your handsome R's unexpected passing. My word not at all what I expected to read when I came over for my daily reading and viewing here. My deepest condolences. So many hugs and love coming from NC to CO Cecilia
KB I just went back to Black Dog Sunday last week...what an stunning photo you capture of R...as you wrote he was an inspiration never a moment he was not happy and full of love. You and Runner gave him such an incredible life as a puppy, a teenager and a Senior. Love Cecilia
R sure was a very special boy. We loved knowing him from afar and can only imagine how difficult this loss is for all of you. Our paws are crossed and we are sending warm hugs to all your family.
Oh dear, we are all so very sad and shocked to hear about dear R this morning. Like so many others, we loved that dear boy from afar too. We can't imagine the hurt and the pain. Since there's really no words, we'll just leave you with our love and lots of virtual hugs. Run free dear R, you made the world smile with your courage and love.
KB my heart is breaking with yours. he fought such a valiant fight through all his issues. I loved him and I love all of you, hugs and prayers. i have cried for 3 days for my black dog and now i am crying for yours.
Our hearts are broken right along with you. But as R would have wanted it, he did it on his terms. He was SO loved and gave that love back SO much. We loved that dear boy from afar and felt as if we knew him like one of our own. We will all miss him and send our deepest sympathy to you and the Runner. We will hold him deep in our hearts forever.
Oh my god, I am so shocked and saddened to read this. My heart breaks for you too. I hope you can take some solace in the fact that he was so happy and full of spirit recently! He made the best of everything. Big hugs and love to your whole family. ♥♥♥ Jan & the crew at Wag 'n Woof Pets
I have my own tears this morning because I truly feel like I've lost one of my own dogs. I know that grief like this is deep, personal and individual, but R's loss is being shared by many like me, who loved him because you shared him with all of us. There's a well known saying... 'Death is never sad, if the gift of life has been well used'. There is no doubt whatsoever, that your Black Dogs life was one of fun, adventure, and he was loved and treasured, and 'well used' but I'm still very, very sad...
God speed to your most handsome Black Dog. I've lit our candle today in his remembrance, and to help him find his way to the Rainbow Bridge, where he will wait for you with your other treasures that have gone before him. ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Oh no...I'm so very sorry for your loss. Please know this community stands by you as you deal with this unthinkable loss and I hope all the beautiful memories you shared with your sweet boy provide a certain measure of comfort. 💔
If I could be reincarnated as anything in my next life, it would be as a dog in your family. You give your boys such loving understanding and sheer fun, every single day. I have loved reading about Black Dog and his brave and joyous adjustments to his new circumstances. He had a wonderful life, though it ended much too soon for us. We all share in your grief.
