Saying goodbye is never easy. 18+ years of companionship and joy.
Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective. The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad, It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

The vet and his team, made a house call. Velcro got to be in his favourite place to be, watching over his domain and waiting patiently for his family to come home. Just as the procedure was taking place, a red cardinal came and sat outside the window in the living room where I saw.. looking in and where Velcro was with the vet, He stayed there till the vet walked away back to me to say, Velcro had passed. I knew, because just before he came to tell me, the cardinal flew away, It was 11 a.m. on the 21st. the day of appreciation and gratitude.
He was my husbands “buddy” they were constant companions., I like to think that they are back to hanging out now,.. It is a sad time for me even if intellectually I knew/know it was/is time,,.
Don’t be sad with me… Velcro is no longer in pain, his spirit lives on in my heart. Keeper (my ten year old) and I will soldier on. She best of all knew how much he suffered.

The passing of pets is a horrible feeling because they give us so much without asking for much in return. Peace and strength to all.
My sincere condolences.
It is hard to lose somebody. Mentally we understand that it’ll happen, however you cannot cheat your heart. Sorry for your loss!
So sorry you lost your friend.
I remember him well. He was a lovely dog. I know you are relieved that his pain is over but, of course, you will miss him. I’m sorry. Sending love.
Pets are members of your family
Sending you love as you navigate this time of loss. RIP dear Velcro. 🙏🏼💜
So sorry…such a beauty
Condolences on the loss of your companion. Losing a pet is so hard.
I am sorry for the loss of your friend and family member. Pets are part of our family, and they are sorely missed when gone.
Thanks Dan.. I heard the Penguins were here, I have not idea how they did, it has been a blur…did they do well?
I’m not sure. They haven’t been having a great year but they have moments of brilliance.
Rest in peace, loyal companion. A hug to Velcro’s loving family.
thank you.,..
