Barkus we miss you and will always love you

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to post that my OES Barkus passed away last week. He was mine and my families best palin the world. I brought him home when I was living at my parents before I got married and he ruled the house. Five years ago my husband asked me to mayrry him and Barkus was the one that ran up with the ring tied to his col;lar. When my husband asked my father to marry me he said it's bad enough that your taking my daughter but you are not getting Barkus. We palnned our wedding around a place where Barkus could be a ring bearer. he went with the guys and was fitted for a Tux and even made the paper. My parents kept him because he was very spoiled and they live on a lake and he went boating every night with my father in the summer and loved his life. Everyone on the lake knew him and loved him. He had hip problems from a young dog but they got so bad that we can to carry him outside to go to the bathroom the last few weeks and last tuesday he totaly lost control of his legs and couldn't even stand or get up at all any more. He stopped eating and started to get sick. We had no choice but to call the vet and have him put to sleep. It wasthe hardest phone call we ever had to make but Barkus couldn't hold on any longer and we knew that it was time. The vet said that he would not be able to get up again. He was would of been 11 in August and we miss him so much that words can not explain. I have pictures of him in every room around the house and cry and cry every day and lay awake at night and think about how much we miss him. My parents are so sad and are having a really hard time without him. He was so special and he will miss him forever. We are soooooo lucky to have him as our dog and will miss and love him forever...

My two cats and Tumbles ( my other Oes) are helping with the pain but Barkus was one of a kind...

Hi Jodi,

I understand your grief. Sheepies are such life forces their loss is stunning.

The pain in your writing comes through very clearly. How much you loved and miss Barkus is obvious. The hole in your heart will never completely heal, but time will dull the pain of your loss and you will be able to think of him again with warmth and fond memories. And smile, just like he'd want.
God Speed Barkus.........
You were so loved, I can tell....

Jodi,
Barkus will always be near on silent paws.
As much as you miss him he is watching over you
Jodi, I'm so sorry for your family's loss of your precious Barkus. We all know how unbearable the pain is when we lose one of these special dogs, but his memory will live with you forever. Barkus would not want you to be sad and he knows how very much he was loved. You will be in my thoughts as you go through the grieving process.
So sorry for your loss :(

I am sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss :ghug: I know it may not seem like it, but you will get through this with time. I had to have our beloved Molly put to sleep on Dec 1, 08 and still not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I still have what I call bad days where I cry over missing her, but mostly those days are fewer and fewer in between. I mostly now remember the fun times and good memories we had together. Good luck to you and your family.
