I feel your pain. I've lost many family members but it seems I've grieved more over my old buddy than anyone else. Sometimes I think its just a pressure valve for all the grief that has gone on before. I was at the park the other day with my husband and my little female dog. I stood off by myself and began to cry when I thought of him running in the park. I didn't even know he was sick. The old boy was with me through a lot of the grief I had gone through,I think sometimes their silent comfort means more than we understand. I'm sorry for your loss. At least we gave them a good life and friendship in return.

Animals are precious! God created them for His pleasure and they're an awesome pleasure to us as well.
I can't imagine your broken heart but I'm crying my eyes out just thinking of your little solider. Ooooh man... I'm really sorry, Willie.
I pray the Lord bless you and comfort you with a beautiful vision of your precious doggie. I pray Christ Jesus fill your heart with a great quiet peace and soothing light.

I've had cats all of my life till I moved to Texas. My landlord here says no pets. But I got permission recently to babysit some friends' cat for 9 days while they go on vacation.
I have taken almost 200 cell phone pics of him in the past 2 days. He's so beautiful to me!!! He nudged me last nite and crawled in to sleep near me. I was so blessed by his warm furry body purring under my arm. He's so lovable and follows me everywhere! I will cry my eyes out when they pick him up next week. I'm crying now thinking about it....

Willie...
I don't know in detail who you're referring to,
I could speculate, but that wouldn't be fair,
and it's probably not necessary for me to know, anyway,
just know that he did not march in alone, for the Lord,
our Captain, led him and is always with him.
Father in heaven, please bless Willie with your comfort and grace
and take his tears upon your lap and cool his brow.
Take his sorrow, Lord, and replace it with the joy of thy salvation,
show him anew your empty tomb and strengthen him in your promise
of eternal life.
These times of separation are so hard, Father,
but we thank you that we don't go through them alone,
for you are with us, and the reunion will such a blessing in that day.
Bless us all, Lord, with more grace to bear,
and patience with joy, as we know we can trust you completely,
and your Word and promise is yes and amen.
While we wait, Lord, help us to be about our Father's business
with greater resolve and excitement as we see your day approaching.....
and Father....
on a personal note,
please forgive again all my sins, Lord....
I know it is done, because of Jesus,
but I often allow things to accumulate,
and don't always cast off those sins and weights
that so easily keep me from running the race
you have laid out before me,
and as a result,
I tend to get bitter, sarcastic and thoughtless,
and fear and doubt creep in where faith and love
should be in abundance, and what I give to others and You.
Forgive me and cleanse me anew so I also can learn
to be a faithful and honorable soldier in the army of the Lord,
as I do hope to hear one day,
'well done, thou good and faithful servant',
Lord, I ask your forgiveness that I haven't
done a very good job of that,
especially of late, and I ask for another chance,
and your grace and mercy
to help me arrive at an expected end
without shame or regret, all because of you,
Jesus, my Lord, my God, my Saviour,
Dear Jesus, if I may say,
my Friend... help ME, Dear Lord,
to be a faithful friend like you.
Lord, please bless Willie, and all who read this prayer,
as it comes with tears and a heart as sincere
as my broken, fallen heart has ever been,
and I pray to You the only true wise and living God
in the name of our wonderful, beloved,
precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Thank you, Jesus,
Amen and forever, Amen. ♡

I guess I kind of hardened my heart with all the other deaths I've known, (and at my age, more and more drop all around me), and I actually had some times of being awfully angry at God. But this one was all me... my choice... and I feel so much a Judas, even though I know, in my head, that we had to do it.
It was somehow easier going through a period of blaming God. With little Gordy, I can only remember that I led him into that cold office, all on my own.
I dunno. It's all kind of weird to me.

Hold on, Willie. That ticks me off "it was JUST a dog".. It wasn't just a dog, it was your child, part of your family. God gave you that dog to care for, just as he gave me Tequila to care for, for the last 15 years. Honor the dog as family, not "just" a dog who happened to be a pet. NO ANIMAL is "just a dog" or "just a cat". They are God's gift to us and should be treated as such. Your doggy and my kitty were God's angels in animal form, and we entertained those angels unawares.
