Today our Australian Shepherd, Brodey, passed away due to illness.  It has been very hard for my kids to deal with the circle of life and saying goodbye.  We love you Brodey.

  • So sorry to hear of your loss. Dogs become such a huge part of our lives, they're so much more than "just a pet". Brodey looks like a great friend to have. You're in my thoughts.

  • I know the heartache well . . . dogs know how to love us well, and it is so hard to say goodbye. With all the "designer dogs" being bred today, I am holding out for the ones who have a life-span the same as ours! Hugs and sorrow for your loss.

  • May Brodey always have his favorite toy in his mouth, and his favorite humans in his heart.....so sorry for your loss. I unfortunately deal with this on a daily basis, and it's never easy.(I work at an animal hospital) Feel at peace knowing that you were able to do this for him, and stop his suffering in a humane way. Peace to you and your family.

    Hi, I know all too well that void. I am never without my friends at my side. I want to share with you this poem. I'm Still Here Friend, please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see I'm right by your side each night and day and with in your heart I long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near. I'm everthing you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart as long as you keep me alive in your heart. I'll never wander out of your sight - I'm the brightest star on a summer night. I'll never be beyond your reach- I'm the warm moist sand when you're on the beach. I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around and the pure white snow that blankets the ground. I'm the beautiful flowers of which your so fond, The clear cool water in a quiet pond. I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring, The first warm raindrop that April will bring, I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine, and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine. When you start thinking there's no one to love you, you can talk to me through the Lord above you. I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze. I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep. I'm the smile you see on a baby's face, Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace Author Unknown This was sent to a lady for the loss of her beloved pet, I send it to you and your family. Let his memories comfort you.

    - love, mandy:)

    This is such a difficult time. Eventually your son will understand that Brodey is not suffering any more, but for now, the expression on your boys face speaks volumes about HIS pain.

  • I am so sorry to hear about Brody. The picture says a lot. I can see in your son's face how much dear Brody means to him and how difficult "letting go" is for him. My heart goes out to all of you. I am glad Brody has been in all your lives... he looks like such a good, good boy. Give your son lots of hugs from me... I hope his pain is replaced eventually with long lasting happy memories of dear Brody. He is in a better place now and no doubt waiting for his beloved owners when it is their time to join him.

  • We lose our animals too soon, but they live on in our hearts. Some people won't keep pets for the fear of losing them, but better to have loved and lost... as they say.
