What a beautiful and kind looking dog. Reminds me of some of the big dogs I see guarding the flocks each spring near where I live in Central California.
S0 sorry about your beautiful dog. I read your post with some dread as my own Arthur (Golden Retriever) was born March 14, 1995. That dread came true today as we lost our boy too. Good long lives for both and both sadly missed. Robyn
Dear Marcy,
I am so very sorry to hear of Oley's passing. I know this is a bit late, but my heart and thoughts are with you. Wish I could give you a hug. Nothing I can say will help, I know, but you are not alone. Big hugs and warm thoughts,
Ercil
So sorry for your loss of Ole. Such a beautiful loving dog he looks to be. May your hearts be comforted in remembering how happy a life you gave him and how much he gave back.
Virtual comfort isn't the same as IRL, but it's all I can get to you right now. Blessings on your Oley, may his path onward be smooth and swift. And you, hang in there. We're all here for you.
Marcy, we are sending you love and support. I am so sorry. I lost my cat this month and it is still too quiet here. Take especially good care of yourself, try to keep busy. It will ease with time. It is perfectly ok to be that upset for losing someone that close to you. A huge hug to you. Wish I could be there.
Oh, Marcy, I am so sorry! I always considered it a priviledge to have met Oley and David still asks after him, even though it's been 5 years since he saw him last. Big hugs to you during this sad time; he was well loved, as all dogs should be, but it's still sad when we have to say goodbye.
Darling lady, I'm thinking of you. And I just scared the SHIT out of my husband with that sheep noise from your site. Take very, very good care of yourself, and know that I'm one of the many who are here for you.
I am so, so sorry Marcy. He was a wonderful companion and loyal friend to you. I cannot imagine the loss you feel right now. Sending much love and hugs to you. You know how to reach me should you near an ear or shoulder.
Oh Marcy!!! I am so, so sorry!
I hope that, wherever he is, he's keeping Ruth company.
