Saying goodbye is the hardest part

As some of you know, Beau has suffered from synovi sarcoma for almost two years. He has had surgery and radiation during that time but sadly another sarcoma appears to be forming next to the existing one. On Monday he will be uthanized. He can no longer stand by himself and is not interested much in eating.

It may seem strange but I believe the other dogs know, they are very subdued. When I sit next to Beau on the floor Daisy watches intently, her eyes are filled with sadness that mirror my own. Even Rosco is quiet, as if being respectful. Luke hangs around in the background observing.

Beau will be buried next to Flash in a beautiful oak casket my husband is building him and will have a marble headstone with his name and silhouette engraved on it. In the spring we will plant flowers for our boys and be happy for Beau that his pain is over.

Saying "I'm so sorry" doesn't begin to tell you how I feel about this, Holly.

I hope you have a peaceful weekend with Beau and I'm sending you all my love and would gladly take some of your pain on myself if it were possible.

This was never a fair fight but at least Beau can rest for this last while and will soon be able to play and run again.
This place has become one big family. We bond together in joyous times and like this, in the sad. We are all here with you now as you go through this. If we could divide this pain up, we would all take some on so you didn't have to bear the whole burden.
We are with you in words since we can't be there in person.

Those darn Duke boys always were heartbreakers.
Please have a peaceful and loving weekend. He knows you love him and are doing what's best for him although hard for you. XOXOXO
I'm so sorry Holly.... :(
Poor Beau -- and poor Holly.

Give all of your "guys" a big hug from me.
Im so sorry Holly. As the rest said, have a peaceful quite weekend. My thoughts are with you.

Words are so insufficient at a time like this. Please know that my heart is breaking for you and I share your tears. :cry: :cry:
Hi Holly,

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Just this evening I came across a beautiful poem called a Dogs Plea and thought of you and Beau, The last line especially touched me and I wanted to post it in honor of your beautiful boy.

"Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands"

Holly, I'm so sorry...
I've lost several furry friends over the years and it never gets any easier. Just take comfort in the fact that Beau lived a full life, filled with love and happiness and that you WILL see him again.

God bless.
I'm sorry Holly. It's been a rough few months for you. I hope you find peace.
Very sad to hear about Beau.
I thought about you today. This is the saddest part of having a four-footed friend. You are putting what is best for him first - a true friend to him. I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry to hear about Beau, I wish our best friends could be beside us for ever.
We're very sorry to hear about Beau. Letting go is never an easy task.

Receive our closest hugs while you go trough these difficult times.
