LouiseF Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) I wasn't posting in January, as I haven't been back to this forum for a long time. But on the 23rd January this year, we had our old bully X APBT, Diesel, put to sleep. He didn't eat for 3 days, couldn't walk or stand and also had the signs of kidney failure. He was also having seizures. Diesel was born in 1988, and purchased by my husband at 6 weeks of age. It seems he was always with us, and it feels so wrong without him. I don't believe in Rainbow Bridge, but he's still in our hearts. Those who know us, know that we do not have children, and don't want any either - our dogs are our family. The girls miss him too. But we're glad he lasted to such an incredible age - he would have been 18 later this year. Edited December 2, 2007 by LouiseF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouiseF Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 The other night, in my dream, Diesel came back to see us. I am not spiritual or religious in any way, so I do not view this as some kind of visit from the afterlife. It was just a dream. But it was a nice one. I bawled with happiness to see him, and gave him lots of hugs. And I woke up happy from it, not sad. It was just so good to see him, even if it wasn't real. And he was all fit and healthy and energetic, not skinny and exhausted like he was at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouiseF Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 It's only weeks away from this anniversary and I'm dreading it already. I was watering my garden the other night, and I always water the plant we put on his grave, but try not to water the headstone in case I damage it A date shouldn't make any difference to your grief I suppose, but I know that this one will. 23rd January. It'll be one year without my baby boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegownchick Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 That is one beautiful face! I can see why you miss him so! There is something extra special about the bully breeds, that shnozzy face. What a gorgeous boy. RIP lovely one. I will think of you on the 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
