Sorry man, tough stuff losing a buddy.
I am sorry for your loss. I know your pain. dogs are truly a blessing in our lives
Been there, prayers for you Raymond..
My prayers are with you and your family.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Prayers sent Ray.
Sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss, it can be as painful as losing a family member. How old was he?
Sorry for your loss.
Prayers for all of you. May Willie find rainbow bridge and be waiting there for you someday. Oakie
Same here, Ken. I talk to my dogs as if they are God's gifts to me and my wife. Because they are.
And @4205raymond , that's a really nice pic you shared to start the thread. 😊

Our prayers are with you and your family. So very sorry for the loss of Willie, hard to believe that something that small could leave such a big hole in your heart.
Ray, run to the nearest shelter and get yourself a new buddy. You shouldn't be alone. Diane and Willie would want that. Really.

Sorry for your Loss. Sometimes losing a beloved pet is harder then losing a Family member.
Willie was only 11 years old. ----------------------------Ray
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers.
It was always my dream to return to my second home in Kents Store, Virginia with my sweetheart Diane and Willie. I had time to prepare for Diane's passing which did not come as a shock to me. Her situation was very similar to Smitty's June. I vowed never to put her in a nursing home and it was 24/7 for me these last two years. It almost killed me.
Just when i was starting to get my bearing and leave this Godforsaken Anti-Gun Socialist State of NY, I lost my little Willie. It was bad loosing Diane but loosing Willie tore a hole in my heart so large that i don't think it can ever be repaired. I appreciate all that suggested that i get another dog/puppy but at my age, I just don't think i am up to it. Willie's remains are being cremated and i will not let them reside in this state, Our new Governor trampled on our Bill of Rights and spits in the face of our US Supreme Court. The Attorney General has vowed to destroy the NRA of which I am a Endowment Member like it or not. Almost every function I perform through out the day reminds me of Willie. I did not sleep for three days and were it not for my daughter Heather I would have lost my mind. Yes, i prayed many, many times.
I worked for my last boss for 17 years and he was the President/CEO of the Alumni at West Point. He was a Chopper Jockey in Nam and missed a roadside bomb by the Red Brigade in Belgium as General Haig's aide. He had the big "C" just like Miss June and my Diane. I went to see him a few days before he passed. I hugged him and we both cried. He said "Ray don't worry about me, sometimes life throws you a curve ball. Be prepared if you can". I never saw the curve ball that Willie threw me. He gathered up all the strength that he had in his little body stood up
looked me straight in the face and i think he said hug me Pa. I have to go to Heaven now to be with Grandma. I hugged him and he was gone.
The picture is a happy time in my back yard under huge oak tree in Kents Store, Virginia. I believe Willy was about 2 years old. --------------------------------Ray

As long as they are remembered they are not gone, but are alive, and live within are heart. Again I’m sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss
Hope i am not being a nuisance by extending thread some. My son/daughter/grandson and I are all devastated over Willies passing. Picture was before Diane got really bad off. The little blue blanket that Willie is laying on was my 18 year old grandsons when he was a infant. Willie had been sleeping on it every night for 11 years.
My son says the only thing that makes Willies passing bearable for him is that Willie left us because Diane needed him in Heaven. Son
is a ME Grad from WVU. He is smarter than me.
My daughter stayed all day with me the day after Willie passed away and i gave her the blue blanket to give to my Grandson. He was overwhelmed. ------------------------Ray
