Remembering the Greatest Love of my Life

I'd like to start this on a happy note... so Happy National Dogs Day everyone ☺
We lost our 16 year old baby last month and it's been the hardest thing I've ever had to come to terms with in my life so far.
His name was Rufez and he was (is and always will be) the GREATEST love of my life... my heart my soul my everything.
I still remember the day he came to us..I woke up opened my eyes and there he was...he was so tiny he fit in my mum's palm!
It was love at first sight and I knew my heart would always belong to him no matter what.
Each memory of his 16 years with us is so fresh in my mind...like he cane to us just yesterday... hmmphhh... and there isn't a single waking moment I'm not thinking of my boy...he was my ball of unconditional love... boundless energetic love.... 100% loyal love...
I pray with all my heart that he's in the happiest place he's ever been and that he's chasing the winds in heaven... and I know he'll be waiting for me on the other side ☺
I love you Rufez... with everything I have...

My heart goes out to you, Ankita. Losing a fur baby is so so hard.

Rufez was beautiful and precious in every way, Ankita. The love and bond that you shared is too great to put into words - and so was his loss. Dogs are better than people, and they imprint on our lives forever. Cherish the memories.

What a wonderful pup. I lost my kitty cat last year; she was also the sweetest feline around and I miss her a lot. Hugs to you.

Mona

HUGS! Such a big loss for you.

Angie I really do believe with all my heart that animals are God's most beautiful creation and there is nothing compared to them.
I'm so grateful for the years we had together because I know he got the utmost care and love.

Ankita, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Gaea in April and feel the loss every single day.

Beautiful memories. I lost a furry friend last October. It still brings tears to my eyes to remember him and all that he added to our lives.

Aww. So beautiful, heart and soul. You can tell.

Rufez was so beautiful, and, after 16 years together, you must miss him terribly. You will also have lots of precious memories, too.

I lost a very special dog last year and I still miss him so much. We have adopted another beautiful Labrador who has already claimed our hearts, and who has eased the pain greatly, but we will always miss and remember our special boy, along with all our previous pets. Their antics and funny little ways still make us smile even though they are no longer with us.

@Summer: I do miss him terribly and even though I'd never have the heart to get another pup,I do babysit for a friend who recently got a beagle and boy she's stolen my heart!
I'm so happy you have a baby that fills your heart with joy and yes I'm sure you'll never ever forget your other babies ☺

Suz

What an absolute beauty. No wonder you miss him terribly. Our love for our animal companions is very pure and it takes time to heal from this loss.

That's so true Suz...
Thank you, he really was a darling ☺

I'm so sorry for your loss - and I totally get what you are talking about. I lost the love of my life (a spunky little cream colored Persian cat) 13 years ago - and I have not ever really recovered from that loss - I've just learned to live with it. There have been many pets since then, and they have all been wonderful family members - but, that little Persian cat owned a part of my heart that none of the others will ever touch. I'm so thankful that she was in my life - and so deeply sad that I had to let her go (she was only 7 years old at the time of her death.) Take care - and honor your grief rather than pushing it aside or trying to ignore it!

Oh Marley, my heart goes out to you...
I know how it feels and exactly what you mean when you say that nothing or noone else will ever own that part of your heart.... its the exact thing I feel for Rufez.
Sending out a big hug to you ☺
