I have always dreaded this day...

[Seravieve]

Beautiful tribute to a handsome man! Reading it made me cry, I must admit. It's so hard to be the one to make that decision. It helps some to know that you're doing it out of love.. and you know that he'll be happier when he's no longer suffering.

Run free and play hard, Duke!

I'm so very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute and Duke is so handsome.

Play hard at the RB Duke.

OMG! How I dread checking Dog Memorial, doing so, only out of love and respect for our beloved babies.

My heart almost leaped out of my chest. How I also prayed that Duke would be around longer. But the spirits at the Bridge had a different plan.

i can't start to explain how sad I am for you. I loved your endearing memorial for Duke. It's obvious he had a happy life and loved you dearly, and visa versa.

Have a safe trip to the Bridge, darling Duke. My Cody will greet you and protect you. Your memory will be with us forever.

Our inability to completely protect and keep from harm those we love is a painful but inherent part of the human condition.

Let solace be taken, however, in knowing that we gave the best we had to our little friends, and that they knew, without an inkling of doubt, that they were deeply loved.

For, beyond all else, that is the greatest gift we give to them, and in turn, the greatest gift they give to us.

Thank you for giving Duke such a great life!

Omg, I am soo Sorry for you loss of Duke! It never gets easier. I could only imagine what your going through. Your a strong person and will get through this. Duke will be there with you.

Someone once told me.. The reason pets don't live as long as people is because they are here on this earth to teach us something. Once that has been taught..and they know it.. They go up to the Rainbow bridge to watch over what they have done.

You learned love. You learned unconditional love. That is what Heart dogs and cats do. They teach us the love we never would have known without them!

He was a beautiful and amazing dog! I know I am not on here often. But I Always seem to remember you and all 4 of your beautiful dogs!

I am here for you if you need someone to talk!

*hugs*
