Our beautiful amazing dog was suddenly attacked Tues. morning protecting us at our home and then passed away late Thursday night. He had such sweet eyes and was a gentle soul...we love him very much. He was so good to us and all the other pets that share our lives.
I imagine him happily running on a beach.
His fave thing to do...
This poem really touched me:
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep, I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep, I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear "It's me I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour your tea, You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me. I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to reassure you that, that I'm not lying there. I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key I gently put my paw on you , I smiled and said "it's me" You looked so very tired and sank into a chair I tried so very hard to let you know , that I was standing there. It's possible for me, to be so near you every day To say to you with certainty " I never went away" You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew.. in the stillness of the evening I was very close to you. The day is over.. I smile and watch you yawning and say "goodnight, I'll see you in the morning" And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide. I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand side by side. I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out.. then come home to be with me. Anon
Layla and Pasha always hung out together
Pasha was 9 ~ the boys have grown up enjoying
his presence in their lives.
Our new puppy Bella just loved him up!
You will be with us forever Pasha!

Oh MY, Michelle, I'm so deeply sorry to read about your loss of sweet Pasha. I'm sitting here w/tears streaming down my face, thinking of the sadness you all are feeling. We lost our Maggie (a 16 yr old kitty that I'd raised from birth) last year and I'm still grieving. Brave, Brave Pasha! What in the world happened? What or who attacked Pasha?? ~deep sigh~ it's so hard to try to make sense of things like this that seem SO senseless. The poem you found was so touching, and set off another wave of tears. How are all of you doing?? I am sending lots of love and heart-healing thoughts to you and your guys.
Thanks for all your kind words Denise...much appreciated.
I'll PM you with more details.
Michelle - I'm so sorry about Pasha. I, too, had a 14 year old dog that was attacked and killed. It was 4 years ago now, but I still grieve for the best friend I ever had. I cried when I first read your post and couldn't even respond just then. I'm crying now. I want to let you and your family know you aren't alone. I am thinking of you and sending you all lots of love.
Kathy
