Sam My Heart Dog

I can write this now, but I may not me able to later or on another day.

Sam was the first Boston Terrier I ever had and not only did I fall in love with the breed I found I loved him more than life.

On January 17th, 2007 he was having some trouble breathing around 430 in the afternoon.  I called my vet and got a message to call the emergency clinic, which is around a 45 minute drive from my house.  I had been going to him long enough that I felt comfortable calling him at home.

His wife answered and told me I would have to take him to the e-clinic even though I told her he wouldn't make it that far.

I ended up finding a very good vet that helped him so that his breathing was almost normal.  She told me to bring him first thing in the morning and we'd get him in LSU.  I could tell that she did not feel he was going to make it that long, but there was nothing else to do.

I woke up at midnight and found him laying on the floor and I held him for 15 minutes, which was when he took his last breath.

    I guess there is a word limit so I'll make this short.  Sam is now a resident of Rainbows Bridge and if anyone would like to sign his guest book here is the information.

    www.rainbowsbridge.com and go to the visitors area.  Put Sam in the name box and 70726 in the zip code box and it should bring you to hi.

    Thank the "many" of you that took a few minutes to sign Sam's Guestbook.  I now know how many true animal lovers are in the Pet Group.

    Couldn't find where to post on the Guest Book, my my Boston, Buddy, is my heart too.  He's around 12 now.  I don't know what I'll do when he's gone, but I do know I will get another.

    My best friend of 16 years passed onto the beyond last month.I saved him when he was 2 months old and he was truly my Shadow. We had a bond like no other. I had promised him that I would always be there for him right to the end. Well the day was coming fast last month, and my work knew that I would not be in the day Shadow was going. That day came, and I knew...but there was a crisis at work, and no one to handle it........I had to leave for a while. I told Shadow to wait, please hang on..I'll be back!!!! I was gone 5 hours!!!! I drove home saying out loud I'm on my way wait for me. I rushed through the door, dropped everything on the floor and found Shadow laying there, I called to him saying I was here and he started breathing heavy and labored. He waited for me.....I got down on the floor with him, stroked, petted, held talked to him telling him how much I loved him until he crossed over which was only 20 minutes from when I got home. He let me keep my promise. I miss him dearly.

    These tributes break my heart, but also re-affirm that the pleasure of having these creatures in our lives is worth the pain. I have had to say goodbye to so many animals, but they have all changed my life for the better.

    Here are my two doggies:

     

    When the time comes to let them go, I'll be devastated ... but pictures like this will help them live on.

     So sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you. I had to put down my female Golden Retriever a few years back and I went in with her when they did the deed. Cried like a baby. She was my baby. Now I have Jack. A 120lb. chocolate Lab that I found running loose on a gravel road and I also have 2 cats that I found after they had been dumped in the country.  Put an add in the paper but no answer. People can be very very cruel. Jack is about 7 now and stating to slow down already. Hate the thought of losing him but have reassured myself that I provided a decent life for him and gave him all the love he could handle.
    Rest assured that the love and companionship you provided will not be forgoten and not go unrewarded. I might advise you to consider adopting another pet. Makes all the difference. Lots of homeless animals out there just waiting for a loving person like you to care for them. Peace.
