Our beloved companion and family member, Silky, lost her battle with cancer Saturday night. I am thankful that she was at home with us and we spent a lot of time with her that day. Also, thanks to many readers for your kind comments over the past month or so.
I cannot really express what Silky meant to us, especially after the kids had moved on to college and a career, leaving us with the "empty nest". She was a wonderful dog and Linda and I are trying to slowly dig out of the deep hole that is left here. The feeling is made more bearable, though, by fourteen years of great memories.
I told Linda I think I'm good for one more dog, but not for quite a while. This last one left big paw prints to fill.
We miss you, girl.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Chris and I have lost four kitties over the years, and I know how their passing leaves a huge whole in your heart.
Once there was a dog
Who used to romp and run
Now there is a graveyard
In the setting sun
Oh good ole shep was a good ole friend.
Loyal good ole shep
He was loyal to the end

...and I didn't want to read.
I am so sad for you both.
I know that feeling too well.
Take care.
I'm sitting here reading this with my two curled up next to me. I cannot imagine the grief when I lose one of mine. I have never had to experience that yet.
I'm so sorry Ben. You gave her a fantastic home and life for 14 years and in return she loved you unconditionally.
Thanks, everyone. Passage of time starts to heal these things and it leaves good memories.
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved pet. I have experienced this several times as well. Time and the memories do help the healing.
