Broken Heart I have no words that will heal the ache, all I can offer are my deepest condolences. He died in your arms, feeling safe and loved. I am so sorry. God speed, Flapjack.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Alot of people just don't understand the pain of loosing a pet. I compare it to the loss of a child....everyone I know who doesn't have pets get angry when I say this but it is true for me. When we lost our Bull Mastiff Meka after eight wonderful years with him, I truely thought I would never recover or my hubby either,for that matter. Just know that you made a wonderful impact on his life and he will be waiting for you at those pearly gates when you get there......Smiling and telling you all of those things he wanted to say when he was alive but couldn't. Don't laugh but there is this county song call Almost Home...He says in the song how he just climbed out of a cotton wood tree, he was running form some honey bees.... he says boy if you'd left me alone right now I'd be fishing. Anyway before the man woke the guy he was almost home...this song reminds me of Meka for some reason, I'm not sure why but it makes me smile everytime I hear it. You'll get there.....It took us two years, we finally got new dogs... And just like kids, you think you could never love anyone that much and then you do.

You did SUCH a wonderful thing adopting him - saving him from that horrible existance, showing him what REAL love is. I'm so glad he had those 10 months with you and I'm sure he had more love, attention, affection and real care in those 10 months then in his entire life before you. Its so hard when they have to leave us; take solace in the fact that you gave him more in 10 months then he could ever imagine possible - for the first time he really got to LIVE. I'm sure he's telling all his new buddies at the Bridge about all the wonderful things he's seen, done and smelled during his time with you -- I'll bet he's got all the other dogs wondering how THEY can get an ATV ride too !

Thank you all for your kind words. I do appreciate them. I posted a little tribute to him in the rainbow bridge section, and if I could figure out how to post pictures now I would add some. The house is sure quiet today.....even with 6 still here, his energy is certainly missed.

Oh Angela, my heart is breaking for you but it's also joyous for Flapjack. He crossed knowing LOVE! That doesn't lessen your pain in any way but boy oh boy what a HUGE gift you gave him.

I'm so sorry to hear this Sad !

We've never "spoken," but I've seen some of your posts about Flapjack, and you gave him such an amazing gift. It's little comfort at the moment, of course, but thanks to you he had a chance to know what happiness feels like. My thoughts are definitely with you!
