Goodbye my sweet Wendel

Goodbye my sweet, sweet Wendel. My time with you was far too short. I'll miss your impish character, sweet disposition and your amazing love for me. My heart is so broken and I feel so lost, but I know you don't hurt anymore. If there is any justice or good fortune in this world, you'll be reincarnated back into my life so I can love you for that much longer. Sweet dreams, my love, mommy misses you terribly.

Harley Wendel Watson 1/1/2006 - 6/3/2012

Six years is not enough. There was so much more love to be shared. But rejoice in the total love he gave you and the sunlight he shared. Run free, run without pain.
I am so sorry, at least he's not in pain. I'm sure some day he will return.
:( :( I'm so sorry, Erin :( :(

He was such a sweet boy and love bug.
A lifetime is never enough, and even more sad when it is cut short. :( :(
I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Wendel. Such a handsome and devoted boy, I so wish that you had many more years with him. :ghug:
Oh, Erin...I am so sorry...Wendel was such a sweet dog, Pearl will be waiting for him at the bridge..he is not alone...and you are not alone.. :ghug:
I am so sorry Erin. :( :( :(
I'm so very sorry, Erin & Josh. :cry:

:ghug:
So sorry Erin. My Bella is there to boss anyone she can. It's been over a year but it's like it was yesterday. He will live on in your heart.
Erin,
So sorry to hear about Wendel.
I can tell from your writings that he was a special boy and was loved dearly.

Godspeed Wendel.
Rest in peace sweet Wendel. We hardly knew you.

Losing a friend after a mere six or so years is very tough. As we all know it takes but a fraction of time to get under our skin and embedded in our hearts. Wendel is with many of our old friends and will be well watched over until you meet again. Many of have been in your shoes, some recently and sadly some frequently. You're in a great group who knows your pain and will be there when ever you need anything. When that time comes, don't feel bad; don't feel vulnerable; and don't feel like you shouldn't ask; just ask and your 'family' will be there.

Oh Erin... I am so very sorry about the loss of your sweet boy. :cry: :cry:
Erin, I am so sorry for your loss. No time is long enough with our fur babies but 6 years is far too soon. We are all here for you. Wendell is out of pain and playing with all his furry friends who have passed over. Take care of yourselves.

Much love Debs, Geoff and Cloud xx
6 years is not long enough, our Katy was just 6. He is out of pain now and will be playing over the Bridge with all our sheepies. Hugs to you. I am so sorry xxx
so sorry for the loss of your baby. My heart hurts for you. :ghug: :ghug:
So very sorry :-(
Oh no :( I am so so sorry. Lots of hugs to you! :ghug:
I am so sorry for your loss, far too short a time :cry: :cry: :cry:
:ghug: :ghug:
I am so sorry!!! :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: Please visit here often because it is a healing process that does help. It helped me very much. :( :( :( :( I can imagine him playing and running with Pooh....
Erin an Josh...so sory to read about the loss of Wendel :cry: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family :ghug: :ghug:
My heart feels both empty and yet eviscerated. I called my breeder and we both cried and reminisced over our impish boy. Our tears were intermingled with laughter and good memories of our devilish blue-eyed boy. As much as I know there will never EVER be another dog in the world like my Wendel, I wonder if he's still with me. Asterisk has been sleeping in Wendel's spot all afternoon and Levi has been crawling in my lap like Wendel always had. They are grieving in there own ways, I think Asterisk moreso, she and Wendel have always had a special bond. Thank you, everyone, for being so empathic and kind.
Oh, Erin, I'm so very sorry for your loss of your precious Wendel. I remember when you got him, and the stories that went with it. He will always live in your heart. I hope the happy memories will soon replace the pain you feel right now. :ghug: :ghug:
Wendel is always with you. Stay open to the signs because they will be there. I have had a few in the past year since Pooh has been gone. One just last week. I know people may think I am crazy, but there can no other explanation to what has happened during those times. It is a comfort to me. Once again, I am very sorry about your loss of Wendel. :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
I'm so so sorry for your heartache Erin.
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
So very sorry Erin. Wendel was a special boy and will be with you in your heart and memories always. Hugs to you Josh, Asterisk and Levi. :ghug: Rest in Peace sweet Wendel.
Erin and Josh, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Wendel was much too young. May he rest in peace. Hugs to you all.

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

Awwww such sad news. That's just way too young. My heart goes out to you. That picture is incredible. I would miss him forever but that means you'll remember him forever too.
I'm veryyy sorry for your loss and the pain :cry:
Erin, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of Wendel.
Wishing you a peaceful heart and happy memories. :ghug: :ghug:
Goodbye sweet Wendel, run free.

I'm so sorry for your loss
Erin, I'm so sorry :cry:

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

Kristine
Wendel will be missed :ghug:

Our thoughts are with you :ghug:
I am so sorry for your loss. He was certainly not here long enough.

:ghug:
Erin and Josh, I'm so sorry for your loss. Wendel is still with you and will always be with you. I hope your heart stops hurting soon.
I had hoped you had more time with your sweet, special boy, and am sorry that he had to go so soon. We also lost our first OES to a sudden illness when he was young (5), and we just felt robbed of time with him. The way we all love our dogs, I guess we never really get enough time with our pups, ever.

:ghug: :ghug:


Laurie and Oscar
We send our deepest condolences on your loss of Wendel. It's doubly difficult to lose them
so young. You gave him the ultimate gift, as difficult as it was for you. The memories of the good times with him will be with you always.

i am SO sorry to hear about Wendels passing....it just makes my heart lurch...the feeling of loss is so deep and so cutting....i wish i could take some of the pain away, i know how much it hurts...

much love to you...
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet sheepie boy, Wendel. He was such a special boy. RIP sweet Wendel.

Tears,
I'm so sorry to hear of Wendel's passing :cry: It never seems that they are with us long enough but Wendel's time was much too short.

:ghug: :ghug: Erin and Josh :ghug: :ghug:
I'm so sorry Erin. :ghug: :ghug:
We all understand the intense pain you are feeling now. I felt like all my insides were ripped out and I was hollow inside. Was listening to the radio this morning and the Patty Loveless song "How can I help you say Goodbye" played. Made me teary eyed. After we lost Pooh Bear I was constantly hearing that song on the radio and would burst into tears. I think Pooh was sending me that song to help me. It still brings me to tears. We are here for you.
I am so sorry for your loss... :ghug:
Thank you for letting us know. RIP Wendel. Our thoughts are with you.
Erin I'm so sorry for our loss of Wendel. :-(

You're right, Susan... sixteen, even sixty six years isn't enough. Six is just unfairly short and my heart aches for Erin.
He was a wonderful boy and truly loved. I'm so sorry for your pain, my heart aches for you.
I wish there was more that I could say beyond "I'm so, so sorry". The loss of a beloved companion is always so hard. But when it happens unexpectedly, and to one so young, it seems so unjust. I wish there was more I could say, but there really isn't anything beyond how very sorry I am that you're going through this, Erin. I'll miss the photos and stories you'd post about Wendel; he was such a character and a shaggy love.
:pupeyes: :ghug:
Thank you, so much, everyone, for your sweet words. It's the funniest thing. Wendel was never a very loud dog, but he was such a huge presence. It seems like there is too much carpet, too big a space on the sofa, the window looks too big without his huge mass at his favorite spot in front of the window, and it seems far too quiet.

Asterisk has been circulating her body in everyone of Wendel's spots. Everytime I look at her, she's moving from one spot to the other. Levi seems to be taking on Wendel's traits, either from watching Wendel do them or because he's just trying to be a comfort. He's been jumping into my lap (he's not nearly as dainty as Wendel was about gradually sliding into my lap) and being glued to my side. He seems pretty sensitive to Josh and my presence lately. I filled he and Asterisk's bowl today and went to go into the basement to the cat room to fill theirs. Levi must have looked up and saw I was gone. He panicked and began scouring the house for me. Once he found me he did his happy dance and twirl and went back to his bowl.

Neither one of them is touching Wendel's bowls, which I haven't had the heart to take down yet...

I have been thinking about having some paintings/drawings made of my Wendel. Wendy was so sweet to have drawn my Wendel in the past, and I love to look at those pictures. I'd love to have one done of him with his full coat to really capture the full beauty of his gorgeous eyes and his sweet self. Are there any artists on the forum who may be interested in drawing him for me? I'd gladly pay you for your time and talent.
I would be honored to draw Wendel for you. Please PM me some reference photos (or links to them) and an address I can ship the final artwork to you at.
Erin,

So sorry to hear about the passing of dear sweet Wendel!

I hope you find comfort in knowing that he's no longer in pain.

xoxo

I know how you feel wanting something to look at. When we picked up Angus at the rescue home, she offered to do this statue for my garden in Pooh Bear's coat pattern. I had him in the garden last summer and brought him in for the winter. I haven't put him out yet. It just makes me feel good to have it around even when I know it isn't Pooh.

I am so sorry. I know words are not help, but you and your family have our prayers
Erin I am so sorry for your loss.

:ghug:
Special man huge loss, so sorry to hear :ghug: Love and hugs to you all at this sad time :ghug:
I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace.
