Woofers... 1991-2006

[Aaron L]

My doggy Woofers died last week, November 1st.


I'm not sure when he was born, but it was some time in the summer of 1991, we got him when he was a few weeks old. He was so small he would crawl under the space between the the bottom cupboards and the floor in the kitchen. When our parents went away to choir practice, my brother and I would take him into the living room with us to watch TV and put him in a clothes basket and play with him.


He was a happy doggy, and I hope his last years weren't too bad for him. He had a seizure last wednesday morning while I was away in Pittsburgh, and when I got home he wasn't able to move and my parents had him in the garage so his condition wouldn't upset my little neice; they were taking turns sitting with him to try to comfort him. He couldnt lift his head and he could barely breath. He died later that night. I went and sat with him for a few hours; I dont know if he was conscious or not, his eyes were closed. I just petted him and talked to him and cried.


I have back surgery again at six in the morning, and as I sit here trying to get to sleep I just started thinking of Woofy again. I just wanted to let people know that he was a good dog, and a good friend. I really miss him.

I'm sorry hon. He was cute. It's hard to lose an animal. They are family, ya know. Good luck tomorrow.

Thanks


Woofy had quite an appetite, too.

My condolences...I've lost two dogs and a cat to old age, and will probably be losing another in the not-too-distant future, and I know how hard it is.

15's a good long life for a dog, and it sounds like he had a lot of good years with you and your family.

The pain of the loss does fade in time, and it'll be easier to remember the good times.

(And, good luck tomorrow.)

My condolences, losing a pet is always hard.
