- Go to My son is home from Iraq three days and his dog dies.
OMG I am Bawling My Eyes Out
That is one sad story. I have two great dogs and they are old. Any day I expect to wake up and find Sophie eternally sleeping which will tear my heart to shreds. That annoying dog is part of my family. I cannot imagine her dying, much less knowing that she died suffering like your sons pup.

Swftfox, What a darling picture. So sad. The poem expresses so well the fact that we can only wonder why when things like that happen and then go on. Tell your son that I'm sorry it happened.

Thank you both. Jeremy is settled down now and O.K. with things. He still
has his beloved Jack Daniels No. 7 (110pound Chocolate Lab) and my dog, Sapphire, the blue eyed wonder Siberian Husky. So he is coping fine. Thanks again.

least IMO.

Once again, thank you all for the kind words, thoughts and prayers.
Jeremy is gripping as am I. You wouldn't think a pet would hurt this much, but like I said in my last comment..... Anyway, I put a picture of her on my computer as my wallpaper in a tribute for Jeremy and I etched a nice glass slab "tombstone" for her that says Abigail - Jeremy's best friend, finally free forever". Now she can chase all the rabbits she can find! Thank you all again.

I do understand and I feel for you. this is really heartbreaking.
life seems to be full of these "why" moments that we will never understand, all we can do is continue on. I'm thinking of you and your son, will say a prayer tonight.

Thank you all. It was not really my intent to bring sorrow
to any of your evenings/days, but it does re-affirm what I have always known. That Blogit is the dwelling place of compassionate people. Jeremy has come to grips with the situation, just sad that it happened is all. At 2 in the morning, in a steady drizzle of rain, we buried her out by the creek she loved to run when she escaped. I etched a white Belgian glass panel to lay on the site and we went inside and began the healing process. Thank you all again for your kind words. Isn't it strange how much we love our pets and yet, not so much so. I believe that an animal, especially a dog, is our only example besides Christ, that show TRUE love. They don't get mad when it doesn't go their way, they want nothing more than our attention. You can discipline them for barking or tearing something up and they'll be so sorry it tears your heart out and five minutes or less later, they are back begging to be petted and played with. They don't complain if you aren't constantly buying them things and they pretty much usually eat whatever you put in front of them. I love my Sapphire and I know my day is coming to cry. I hope it is not soon. Here's her baby pic again.

Where's the logic, justice, or God's message in this event? What a sad story - senseless really - but maybe there IS a message in there somewhere. My condolences to you and your son....

Swftfox..... I am so sorry
about this, it is quite shocking news and very sad. As you say we don't know why but bravely go on...I may not understand, never owned a pet, but still I feel sad for both of you and the poor dog. I really cannot dwell on this, it is too haunting.
