Goodbye My Beautiful Boy

We said goodbye to Cole today. He was still getting worse and the pain meds were working for shorter and shorter amounts of time. He was so weak he could barely get up and it was time. We are all heartbroken.

“It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.” -Unknown

    Ohhhhh I’m so very, very sorry. Our collective heart of the Tripawds Nation is broken to pieces, your sweet boy fought so hard — as did you. We will never, ever forget the journey you had together, and will always remember Cole as one of the biggest inspawrations ever.

    The end of life choice is the toughest decision we’ll ever face and it’s so ironic how it’s also the most compassionate. I hate that cancer speeds it up for many great animals like Cole. Our brain just doesn’t grasp our decision during the first few weeks, months even.

    Give yourself time and TLC to heal. We totally get what you are feeling. If you want to talk, share more stories, whatever, we are here by your side, now and always.

    Be free Cole, live on in spirit and light up the universe for our Tripawds Heroes. We will love you always.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Run Free Cole until you meet your family again. This part of our journey is one of the toughest we make. No one can tell you when that hurt will be gone. One day it will be there and the next not. One day it could be slight the next more painful. You gave him the best gift we give our babies is the pain free life and healthy one that they gain at the Bridge.

    Watch for signs. They maybe hard to see at first but he will give them to you that he is ok. He might even have to sometimes hit you hard for you to know they are from him. But there will be signs whether or not it will be a “penny” from heaven , a cardinal or butterfly. Something that he always loved. You will know.

    hugs

    I have to come back my dear friend. I’m just too much of a blubbering mess right now to even try and find words. I’m just so very sorry, so very, very sorry.

    I am so sorry to read this! I know I have no words to make you feel better at this hardest of times. Your beautiful boy enjoyed all the spoiling and loving you showered on him throughout his entire life and especially these last months. He’s at the bridge telling all those warrior princes and princess’ how wonderful his life was and how much he was loved here on earth. In these days coming I hope you will find the peace your heart needs and someday in the future your good memories will allow you to begin to heal. Hugs to you and your family.

    Godspeed beautiful boy! I am so sorry for your loss. He was truly an inspiration for all the big and giant dogs! What a heartbreak. 🙁

    My heart is breaking to hear you had to say farewell to your beautiful boy, Cole. I know your home is feeling too large, too quiet and somehow foreign – a dog like Cole, with such personality, well, a dog like that fills the space. Fills it with joy.

    Wishing you the comfort of knowing you did all you could to give him more time and that he felt treasured and loved for all of his life with you.

    I will read his whole story – but I can already tell he had the heart of a lion, but was gentle as a summer rain. Sweet dreams, dear Cole Porter; dearly loved and keenly missed.

    Ahhh, hell. I’m so, so sorry. My heart weeps for you. He was the best and so incredibly beautiful.

    I read somewhere that when you die and enter heaven every dog you’ve ever loved runs to greet you. I sure hope that’s the case. Wouldn’t be heaven if they’re not there with us.

    peace

    I have been following your blog and fell totally in love with Cole.

    Although I never posted I was right there with you all along

    It was so shocking to hear the news about his passing … far too soon …

    I am so, so, so sad for your loss 🙁

    There are no words that can relieve the pain at moments like these and even if we did everything possible it never sounds like a consolation in the end…

    I have been where you are now and have no idea how long my baby Eurydice has, just like your sweet boy Cole.

    There is another star shining bright in the star right now and its name is Cole.

    He will be watching over you for ever and stays right there in your hearts.

    Memories never die and one day we will be reunited with all of our furry friends, they will be greeting us, tails wagging like mad and the happiest look ever in their eyes.

    Sending you all my love, my heart is with yours
