Lost my Beloved Oggie.

You sure know how to pick 'em. Not only is Buddy cute as the dickens, he's also so attentive. I love how he looks at you. He's not lacking in the brains department, that's for sure. Love how he patrols the stacks! Enjoy, I'm so glad things worked out

people can spend their whole lives not knowing true love, dogs are gifted to us from God. they simply are unconditional love in a furry package. I feel for ya bro, having had dogs all my life each and every time I lose one it brings a pain unlike any other. but its a pain tempered by the remembrance of knowing that our friends have given of themselves the full measure of devotion from start to finish and they know full well they are loved just that much in return.

all dogs go to heaven

stoveguy, you echo my sentiments exactly! My Oggie will forever live in my heart and I think this new guy, Buddy, is going to as well.

And that's what it's all about

The Creation
When God had made the earth and sky
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds and bees.

And when at last He'd finished
not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name."

And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until it's strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth
and in the sky and sea,
the little creature said, "Dear Lord,
there's not one left for me."

Kindly the Father said to him,
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you dog, My friend."

Kindly the Father said to him, "I've left you to the end. I've turned my own name back to front and called you dog, My friend."

Truly God had a special plan for his creation, the Dog. Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks Dix.

No problem, any time you get something as cute as Buddy .

 

[Beer Belly]

It's like he's been there his entire life.....now that is one special pup

 

[HollowHill]

Thanks for the pics, tdfchief, they warm the heart. I really look forward to seeing them. It's as if he knew he had a job to do and stepped right up to the plate. Better be a special toy AND treat in his Xmas stocking

tfdcheif - the golden in my avatar (Bear) adopted me @ 12 years ago, and cancer took him 2 years ago in January. We used to call him the Christmas dog 'cause he got more excited about the tree and the presents than any kid I've ever known (especially the stocking with the treats in it). He was a brat, best sock thief on the planet, natural born bird dog, and my shadow who went everywhere with me. He wasn't expected to make it through Christmas that last year with us but he had the strongest spirit imaginable and hung on until he had nothing left. I said goodbye, and his "little" sister, also brokenhearted, stepped up to help heal our hearts ever since, but we still have a hard time this time of year especially when the stockings go up.

Your new pup found you, that's no accident. Dogs and "dog people" finding each other is a necessary reminder of whats right with the world. Good on you for giving Oggie such a good life, and for welcoming Buddy in to his new home and into your hearts.

Thanks BH, you obviously understand my grief. Sorry for your loss. Sounds way to familiar. Steve

 

[tfdchief]

Buddy is so loyal already. When I go to my Den he comes in and lays down and waits for me.

 

[Beer Belly]

Now that will put a smile on your face.....what is the breed ?

Beagle Shih Tzu mix is an AKA approved Designer Breed and very common and very desirable.....good health, character, manners, and longevity. They are called Bea-Tzu.

 

[tfdchief]

You guys will have to tell when you want me to stop. I love this Dog and as long as you all want more, I'm good.

 

[begreen]

That is a smart and very empathetic dog. He knows you're hurting and is there to help ease the pain. I'm sorry for your loss chief, but sure am glad you have a good companion to share the loss and move on. We did the same thing last year when we lost our cat of 16 years. We were heartbroken until we adopted a big lunk of a cat that needed a home. He has turned out to be quite the character and has a lot of love to give. Animals can be special that way.

 

[tfdchief]

BG, you have truly hit the nail on the head. Buddy has truly healed my heart. And I am so glad that you found the same peace that I did.
Thanks,
Steve
