One Month Options

[Shadow Dancer]

Tonight is one month since we said goodbye to our Beloved Thunder. The pain of losing him is still gut wrenching. We just couldn't face picking up his ashes when they came back to the vet clinic, and put it off for two weeks, we brought him home on Monday and I put his collar around his urn, because Thunder didn't like not having his collar on.

I look at his picture and it's so hard to believe he's been gone a month. I take our other dog Storm out and I remember Thunder running and playing in the back yard and the tears start falling.

A friend of mine made a memorium for me, we are going to print it out and frame it and keep it by his urn.

I just miss him so much.

Oh Shadow Dancer

The memorial to blessed Thunder took my breath away! And filled my eyes with tears. The words are so beautiful. Then I read the words "passed suddenly" after only a few years. Both of my labs, Gretta (the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived) and Rufus (my Big Black Dog with the strong back) passed suddenly. They showed symptoms only for a single day. And I can so relate to the picking up of the ashes. The Vet School who had Rufus's ashes had to call me several times before I could pluck up the courage to go and get them and then I had a meltdown in their lobby. He passed when I was half a continent away so I had no chance to say my last words to him.

Thunder is SUCH an elegant dog. Rest assured that he is ALIVE and living in the Perfect World, loving you just as he ever did. And one day you will be reunited, never to part again.

God bless you, Thunder.
