Sir Remo Bonham Ludwig 5-8-93 / 8-19-08

My Remo crossed the bidge this morning. I decided Monday afternoon that I was going to take Remo and help him cross Tuesday. I've made appointments and cancelled twice. He was having a really bad night so I stayed up with him. Around 2:30 am he passed away on his own. He had severe arthritis we fought for a couple of years but he had never really been sick a day in his life so this took me by complete suprise. I did however get to hold him close to me when he finally let go.

Instead of focusing on the pain of losing Remo and the rough past few months I want to take this opportunity to honor his life. For 15 years he was my baby, my friend, my confidant, my protector, my clown, my world. He was not perfect, in fact he was quite a handful his first few years. However, I was blessed everyday I was given with him. I taught him sit, down, stay. He taught me paitence, boy did he ever. He taught me acceptance, loyalty, trust, and to love with all my heart. He taught me it's ok to have a bad hair day, eat ice cream before bed, growl at people you don't trust, and that sometimes acting goofy enough can get you out of doing something you don't want to do. I learned that having dog hair on your clothes just ensures that you get to take you baby with you everywhere you go.

I miss him so much already but I celebrate his life and the knowledge that he is "Free at Last"!!!

Thank you all for being there for us the past few months. Your support and concern has meant more to me than you could know.

I am so very sorry. What an empty hole you must have. Hang on to all those wonderful years of memories with him and remember the good times.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful sheepie boy. Remo. He sounds like he was such a wonderful sheepie.

Strength to you during this time of loss.

Tears,
So sorry for you as I know you will miss him..wonderful you had him for so many great years. Words can't say how we feel for your sadness :hearts:
I just popped in to see how Remo was, and I am so so glad you were with him at the end that must be a real comfort to you. He sounds like a right little soldier, I am so pleased you had him for 15 years, and he had the most wonderful Mum. Ok I need to go now as I am crying and hubby will think I am mad. So sorry Remo has gone but he is now free with all our other sheepies running over the Bridge.

Hugs to you....xx
I am so sorry..from your previous threads and now this one, you have given all of us a peek at what a wonderful life Remo had--what a sweet sheepie!!! He was a very special furbaby and we are all saddened by his crossing...but I think that heaven is just a little brighter because your Remo is there.

Rainbow Bridge will never be the same...REMO has arrived!!! And now he can run and jump and play painfree and I do believe all of our furballs are just waiting to greet us when our time comes...waiting for us to throw that ball and run the fields--together once again.

Again, we are here for you...we have all been down the road you are on .... :ghug:

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll bet Remo knew how hard it was for you, too and he made the decision for you to pass. Some how, I think it's a little easier when you know that it was definitely the right time. Well, it's never easy but you know what I mean. :ghug:
I am so sorry for your loss. How lucky you both were to have fifteen years together. May your happy memories sustain you in the difficult days ahead.

:ghug:
I am sorry for your loss of Remo. It is clear to me that you two shared a very special relationship.
I am so sorry for your loss of Remo - He sounds like a wonderful fluffy friend. You are very lucky to have had him for 15 years
Your writing is so beautiful! You have given me a new insight on dog fur on my clothes. Thanks, I will remember it always.
So happy for the 15 wonderful years you had with Remo!
Sending you hugs.
Im so sorry for your loss of Remo! He sounds like he was the perfect sheepdog (well as perfect as a sheepie can get)...a trooper till the end, knowing you couldnt let him go....

kisses remo....bless the bridge with your big smile and rambling gate!
I am so sorry for your loss of your precious Remo. :oops: Now he can keep Drez company until we see them again.
How blessed you were to have shared your life with Remo.
Remo sounds like a wonderful sheepie and a great friend. I am so sorry for your loss. :ghug:
Wow-15 wonderful years together...what a gift. I am sorry for the pain you are feeling now. It is the price we pay for the love that they give us. Goodbye, sweet boy.
I am so sorry. He sounds like a wonderful boy.
Ashley, I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. I too just logged in to check on Remo. You spent so many great years together.

Remember that the best relationship is the one where the love for each other far exceeds your need for each other.
Your final journey with Remo was very much like my own with Merlin, who crossed just short of his 14th birthday. Like Remo, Merlin died in my arms at home.

I will be thinking of you--I know how big a hole there seems to be in the universe right now. Remo sounds as though he was quite a remarkable dog--and a very lucky fellow to have you.
Run free Remo. I am sorry for the loss of your wonderful sheepdog.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Remo lived a wonderful life!
I'm so sorry for your loss.
What a wonderful gift Remo gave you, passing quitely in his sleep, with you close by. He sounds like a great companion, we too will miss him with you :(
Love to you at this sad time, Remo was one special boy and may he run free and young again over the bridge.

It is never easy when we have to say goodbye, when the sadness subsides a bit Remo has left you with the most glorious memories that will always be with you in your heart forever of the years you both spent together.

Hugs & Bless dear Remo.
You are so lucky to have shared all of those years with your dear boy. I hope his memories bring you happiness for years to come. I am glad to have gotten to know him through the forum. He was a very special boy.
So sorry to hear about Remo...sounds like a great friend.
I love the name...you must be a drummer.
Run free Remo!

So sorry for the loss of Remo. It was a blessing he went with you holding him...and that the decision was out of your hands. :ghug:
Yuck, I sorry thet you lost Remo he sounds like a great friend. Syd died in our arms and will always be with us. I can not think of a harder thing we ever had to do but it is what a caring owner/friend has to do. He will never be out of you heart. But there is always room for more love.

Bella is love incarned and I can not imagine our lives with out her but Syd will always be there too.

I sorry for your loss. Fifteen years of love is a wonderful gift, keep that gift in your heart.
