I just got back from running a few errands with Ma this morning. We wound up doing a few extra things. Kind’ah trying to keep my mind busy.

When I opened our thread. Reading all of your heartfelt condolences, and thoughts of me and the boy. It left me speechless!


It was a really rough 5 days. When the decision was made that he couldn't recover from his illness. His DOC for the past 5 plus years, came in on her day off to meet me and the boy at her clinic.

While he was laying on his favorite blanket. I had him in my arms, while she was sending him off to the Man Upstairs. She had a great connection with the boy.

On that note; Calvin left me his small tin, holding all of his saved allowances I gave him (I tell yah, I should'ah cut back on his allowance ... :E). The boy left a note, asking me to purchase a Koa Wood keep sake box for DOC (similar to the one Harlee bought DOC when she helped her cross the bridge. What was unusual, was the coincidence. DOC came in to the clinic (where she was working at that time) on her day off to help Harlee).

So, per the boy's request. I'll order one, then take it to DOC. I think she'll be surprised and happy at the same time.

BTW, did I mention I should'ah cut back on the boy's allowance!.. :S

PS Roy and Carolyn, thank you very much for the poem!

PPS I'm confident Harlee, Shredder, and the boy are chasing each other, playing, and enjoying the World the Man Upstairs' prepared for them!

Tears... I am so sorry Pops. Hopefully Shredder will find him up there cause she had a HUGE crush on him.

Take comfort he is happy, chasing bunnies, and free from any pain. May your heart be healed quickly and only precious memories remain. Hugs

We will all miss hearing about Calvin so much.

I'll never forget posting a photo of my girl, a Labrador hearing dog from Dogs for the Deaf, and you replied that Calvin was in love. I think Raylene and Calvin even ate the same kind of dogfood. I'd like to think he'll reserve a cozy spot for her, for that "someday" long in the future, I hope, when she crosses the bridge, too. They fill our hearts and we know they'll break them eventually, but it's worth it.

Sorry for you losses... Our beloved animals are so much a part of our life...

I found comfort in the Rainbow Bridge Poem. I learned about the Rainbow Bridge and Animals when we was living in the Phoenix Arizona area.

Some folks believe in reincarnation...me, not so much...but if I'm wrong and it really exists, I want to come back as one of your dogs. You give them your wholehearted love, support, and affection...things we all need. Calvin will be missed by all of us. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way.

You and Calvin have been a part of my life since you first began the stories of his adoption. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. May you find peace in this difficult time.
