SeeksOnlyOne -> in memory of my furry friend razor (7/11/2007 4:28:39 PM)
suddenly last night, he was limping......then we went to bed and he slept by my side as always......i woke up to him struggling and discovered he couldnt move his back legs....i carried him into the living room and loved on him, watching his eyes as he struggled and look at me like whats wrong mom.......i hugged and cried and my son came in and stayed with him while i grabbed a quick shower......we rushed to the vet, hoping against hope, it could be fixed...... sadly, it couldnt be..........we had a long time to sit with him and love him, but the look in his eyes told me it was time......something had gone very wrong neurogically, and there was no cure...... my son and i had as long as we wanted to say goodbye.....then my son left the room sobbing... and i stayed, rubbing razors head and telling him i loved him, as they gave him the shots........he peacefully went limp and i cried more, then spent a few more moments with him before they took him to prepare him for me to bring him home to bury...... my son held him in his lap, the entire way home, tears rolling down his tough, 19 year old face....no words were spoken........ we got him home and laid him on his loveseat for a while, i rubbed his still warm body through the cloth he was wrapped in and cried more...... my son took his body, ever so gently, and took it outside.......i stood at the door, watching, crying, as my baby dug the hole to bury our friend, the one we got when he was just 5 years old......my son cried silently, then as gently as i have ever seen him move. placed our razors body in the hole, sat there for a moment, then covered him with the dirt, using his hands only..... when my son walked up to the door, we hugged and cried and i told him i had never been prouder of him than this moment.....going with me, holding razor through the journey, refusing to lay him in the back seat alone for the journey home...... so now i will sleep alone, for the first time in 20 years......razor became my snuggle buddy when i got divorced 5 years ago, and i cant imagine going to that bed without him. so heres to my best friend of 14 years, razor.....r i p 7/11/07 and to the hope i can find comfort for my self so i may offer some to my brave son, who is for today anyhow, my hero.

thanks to all of you......typing something here made more sense than taking a sledgehammer to my house.....my brains fried and those are the only 2 ideas i could come up with.... thanks again[sm=flying.gif]

Rainbow Bridge time again.....I hope you can find some comfort in it..... Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. 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....

i love the Rainbow Bridge...it always helped me. SOO, i bawled my eyes out for you and your son. my heart goes out to you both. Razor was a very lucky dog to have owners who cared so much about him.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like you gave razor a great loving lifetime, that a lot of pets dont get.

SlND3R3LLA -> RE: in memory of my furry friend razor (7/12/2007 12:37:09 AM)
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your story about Razor made me tear up, so sweet and loving. I love my pets like they are my kids, and sometimes it's good to have the reality in your face they won't be around forever. I will make sure and give my little ones an extra hug today in his memory. ~sin

I had to put a beloved friend down in 1997 and I still cry over him. The dog who came after him just died of natural causes a few months ago, and I still cry over him. It's ache that never goes away, although it will become smaller in time. That's why I like Rainbow Bridge so much. I know we'll all be together someday. [:)]

DommeChains -> RE: in memory of my furry friend razor (7/12/2007 5:59:24 AM)
My heart aches for your loss of your beloved friend. The love our animal friends share with us is a gift without limits and continues forever. We are all better people for having loved and been loved by an animal companion. Hugs to you and your son at this time of grief.

SeeksOnlyOne -> RE: in memory of my furry friend razor (7/12/2007 7:49:39 AM)
they are so good for the soul......its been 16 years since i felt this pain.....after the loss of my previous furbaby i swore no more.....then the kid talked me into razor.......i have already cried more for razor, than i did when my ex left.........and i am again in the "never again" frame of mind about pets..........time will tell if i stick to it this time......

slaverosebeauty -> RE: in memory of my furry friend razor (7/12/2007 9:48:29 AM)
{{hugs}} I had to go through that last month when I had to have my cat put to sleep, your pet is not just an 'animal' they are a family member, they are where you go when you need unconditional love and cuddle. {{hugs}}
