One of my visitors last night did not shut the front door.

My best friend Tyler got out of the house with out me knowing.

When I realized she was not in the house we went on a massive search for her.

After 2 hrs of looking we did not find her.

Everyone left and said,"don't worry ,she will find her way home."

That was not good enough for me.

I stood on my front porch calling her name.

I thought I heard a whimper close by and went to see.

Ty was on the next door neighbors porch.She was hit by a car.

I guess she made it as far as she could get.I held her knowing it was not good.

While waiting to get her to the hospital I held her tight,letting her know it would be ok.

I knew it would not be ok.

The vet at the hospital kept her alive for me while i took a taxi home.

I made it back in time to lay my rosary on her before she crossed the rainbow bridge.

I'm sorry for posting this here but I just needed some type of outlet.

RIP TY daddy loves you.

BEST TO BOTH OF YOU

People who view dogs as pets don't understand us - these animals are members of our families. They love us when we don't deserve it. They are loyal beyond anything you can expect from a human.

Find peace in the knowledge that you gave Tyler the best life you could give him.

God has a plan and Ty will not be suffering and when you reunite the Joy will be overwhelming..

My wife and I are also mourning one of our little friends. Christmas eve day our 9 yr.-old tortoiseshell cat Phoebe died in my arms. I heard a crash in our computer room and when I ran in there she was under the desk in full seizure. She had a history of breathing problems and had been treated a few months prior. I was kind of freaking out and grabbed an Albuturol inhaler from the medicine cabinet just hoping I could open her lungs with it. When I got back to her with it she was gasping and unconcious but I tried a puff...to no avial. She breathed her last as I was holding her.

She was the most affectionate, happy little thing and we will miss her.

So, today I am burying her next to two other friends we lost years ago. I share in your loss, bro.

For both of you, I can only pray for peace.

(hugs)

I've felt your pain many times in my life and it is NEVER easy. But time will help ease the pain.

You may not think so right now, but a new puppy would certainly not replace Ty by any means, but it would fill a void and add a new member to your household! Give it some time.....

God bless you Chris and know that Ty would probably want you to remember the good times and not dwell on your seperation.
