We lost our family dog just before Thanksgiving. I told Emma that she was probably licking her predecessor somewhere right now. I suspect that she’s trying desperately to do the same to Argo. She was a licker.
I never met Argo, but I sure felt like I had. Your love for him transcended the boundaries of distance, and print, and pixels. I know it will cross any other barrier between the two of you.
Sending you and your family (furry and otherwise) peace combined with all the memories of your time with Argo. He was obviously loved so much and I grieve with you.
Allie- I’m truly very sorry. If all of us who never knew Argo personally saw only a glimpse of how much you loved him, then I can only imagine how much love Argo knew and experienced throughout his life. No matter how much, or how little, there is never enough time with them.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Allie. I’m sure Argo understood how fiercely he was loved, and I know he’ll be keeping an eye on you, J and Stella from doggie heaven. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers right now.
I am sorry for your loss. We have a 10 year old German Shepherd, Callie. So dreading the days you are having. Argo was surely a lucky dog to have such a loving home. And you certainly are a lucky family to have had him. I hope your memories will comfort you. My thoughts are with you.
I chatted with you at a book signing about german shepherds in general and Argo in particular, and your love for him came shining thru even that brief moment in time. So sorry for the loss of your beloved dog.
I’m so sorry about Argo. He was a beauty and so obviously happy and loved. You gave him a good life. My sympathies to you and your family; please give Stella an extra head scratch from me.
So sorry for your loss. Even thou I didn’t know Argo it sounds like he had a wonderful life. Argo will be looking out for you from heaven above. I am glad you were there with him to hold him. God bless you and your family
I’m so sorry, Allie. I just looked at the previous post “Wagging our Tails,” and I love the smile on Argo’s face there! (And on yours). Your puppy died happy and loved.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing my dog Moxie was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through and 6 months later, it still feels a bit empty without her. I hope you find comfort in the happy memories you have…
Hi there,….found by accident your blogg and read your sadening but beautiful story bout your dogs.
I just recentley had to put my beloved dog Shiva to sleep and know how you feel. My thoughts are with you.
Aw, Allie…..so very, very sorry to hear about Argo. They just don’t live long enough, do they? What a special dog and what a wonderful life he lived. Here’s hoping you take comfort in the memories, pictures, stories and mementos. If you haven’t already read it, might I suggest “Dog Heaven” by Cynthia Rylant? I do believe that our beloved pets wait for us on the other side. Hugs to you……
Oh, Allie, I’m deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Your boy will live on forever on your book and in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know him. He was one lucky boy to have you! Hugs….
