Dear Sheebo

IMG_1826web
 
And you left. You left me, you left us empty handed. With your sad eyes and waggling your tail (and without knowing), you walked with the doctor who took you to a room where you were given that fatal shot that ended your life. We were all crying, but with the understanding that there was no way to prolong your life. Dr. Sessa – the best and more human veterinarian you can find in this world, told us your kidneys didn't work anymore and (after 14 years), your back legs no longer held you still. He did his best during the last 2 years but said that at this point it was painful for you; so with Walter we decided: enough. 

During the last 14 years you, dear Sheebo, gave us more that we could ever imagined:

  • pure happiness, 
  • pure joy, 
  • pure loyalty, 
  • pure honesty,
  • pure innocence,
  • pure benevolence,
  • pure bravery,
  • pure compassion,
  • pure contentment,
  • pure cooperation,
  • pure empathy,
  • pure generosity, 
  • pure gratitude,
  • pure kindness,
  • pure obedience,
  • pure serenity,
  • pure comradeship,
  • pure goodness,
  • pure nobility,
  • pure friendship,
  • PURE LOVE 

and you showed us how little you needed to be happy in our family… a little food, a little water, a small petting, and to let you lay down close to us. 

I have your ashes now, and they will rest on our backyard where you were so happy running around… Don't worry. We'll not be apart. Like a family, always together.

I thank you Sheebo, you were the best dog I ever had. And you know, I said this without fearing all my other dogs think I'm a hypocrite. You really were.

I MISS you. I LOVE you and always will.

 

Pat

    My heart hurts for you. Just went through the same in Nov. Still hurts so much, but the joy is so worth this period of grief. Memories are precious.

    I am really, really sad. First, Ami’s Madison; then my sister’s Kalia; now your Sheebo. But you know what? They’re all having fun showing each other their very special expertise at the Forever Doggie Park.

    Wow, this is such a hard post to read. My 6 year old corgi has had two seizures in the past two weeks. Nothing in the lab work is showing why. So, these pets that make our lives whole are fragile. Yet they are the most giving and ask for minimum care – just a bit of food, a pat on the head and some general kindness. They are so excited if you shut the bathroom door, go to the bathroom and come back into the hallway. They are happy to see us and excited that we choose to spend time with them.
    Cheers,

    There are no words that I can say at this very moment that will help heal your pain. I know because I have been there many times. I always tell myself that I have to remember that each kiss, each time his tail wagged, and each loving moment spent with him was worth it. I know you know that too. Only time will make you feel better, and with each passing day it will get easier to walk through the front door.
    No matter what, my heart goes out to you and your family. Oh, and no matter what anyone tells you the best way to overcome the depressed and sad moments is to rescue another poor dog at a shelter!

    Awww… So sad for your loss. My heart really goes out to you.
    Amazing how these creatures come in to our lives and touch us in ways not experienced in any other facet of life. We become caregivers, companions, translators. They give us so much and do it so whole-heartedly and purely. And in so many ways, our pets… these animals… teach us to become more human and humane.
    They truly leave us with some of the greatest gifts in life.
