Today is a Sad Day
A few weeks ago, my dog Henri was diagnosed with Lymphoma.
He fought it hard, and won every battle.
Until today.
Overnight his conditions suddenly worsened.
By dawn he was in dire straits.
In the grey light of early morning, his eyes seemed to whisper “it‘s time”.
By afternoon, bright and sunny.
Henri was no longer with us.
He’d passed away peacefully, in our arms, surrounded by love.
He’ll have no more pain, no more suffering.
And that’s a good thing.
But today is a sad day.
A day that Lisa and I will spend at the park, with the girls.
Watering the grass with our tears.
And then we’ll share some of our favourite photos.
From Henri’s life with us.
It was shorter than we’d wished.
But long enough to bring us more joy than we could have ever imagined.

Sucks.
Hang in there.
As chemists say, sometimes alcohol is a solution.
Start thinking about a pup.

It hurts.
Re: Today is a Sad Day
It's hard when one of our dogs passes in old age, but when it's a young dog it is so much tougher. Condolences to you on your great loss. Marysburg
Re: Today is a Sad Day

Re: Today is a Sad Day
Condolences from our house to yours.
Re: Today is a Sad Day
I'm crying with you man. Lost my Pevo last sumer after my baby sis passed from leukemia. I cant say which one made me cry the most.. I miss him so much, he was always right there watching me do whatever I was doing. Made me a better man tho. I try to be as nice as possible to others so that dog taught me something no one else could.
Re: Today is a Sad Day
Looks like he lived a great life. Awesome photos.
I wish there were words that could soften the hurt but I have never found them there is only tomorrow and the next day and the day after that.........
