    RIP Henry


    I understand that there is so much worse that has and will go on in the world, but thank you for letting me get my thoughts out.

    Even at the end i still called him "Puppy Dog." He was an American Cocker Spaniel and my best friend and I miss him so much already. Got home an hour ago and I cannot go to sleep. He had a wonderful life and I'm happy for that, but 16+ years seems so short now. My wife and I had just been married, we went to the mall to get a floor lamp at JC Penny and came home with a puppy instead. He was my first dog ever, while my wife had grown up with an English Cocker named O. Henry in the 70s & 80s. In 1995, this little puppy in the window caught our eye and when we found out that he was born on July 31st (The same birthday as the original Henry) we knew we had to bring him home. And we named him Henry in honor of the shared birth date. My favorite moment with him was many years ago before my wife and I had kids. Just he and I were out for a walk on a cloudy day and were on the walking path by our house. One of those driving rains that you can see roll across to you headed right at us. Like out of a movie, we both seemed to stop at do a double-take to each other, I yelled "run!" and we both turned and ran towards home getting soaked, but I remember he was happy. The communication I saw in his eyes will be with me forever. Good night, pup-pup.
    It's all good!

    Man, That really sucks losing your pet/family member/best friend. so sorry to hear that. At least you still have the great memories of Henry to cherish forever. May Henry now RIP while he waits for you until you are reunited once again in a much better place.

        Sorry. I dread the day I have to face this situation with my own dog.

          So sorry for your loss. 16 is a good innings for a pooch though.

          My furball is also on his way out and it's a similar story to yours - we were supposed to be shopping for a dining table.

              Lost a great dog, also at 16, several years ago. It really is like losing a family member. Great that you have some pics and memories to cherish. Feel good knowing you gave Henry a happy life! Too many dogs don't have a family to love them, which is a real tragedy. They're noble and sweet creatures at their core. We're lucky to have them as a part of our lives, even if it is for only a short time.

              Take care!

                    Man... That teared me up. I am so sorry for your loss. Just know your pup is with all other pups in Heaven, chasing one another around and waiting for the day when you can see him again. My deepest sympathies.

                            Been through the pain of that loss too many times, but it always hurts nonetheless. My deepest sympathies to you on the loss of not only your friend, but a member of your family. The pain will subside with time, only to be replaced with loving memories of the time you spent together.

                            Rest In Eternal Peace, Henry....
