I expect to see him again some day. Max never even got to say goodbye.

Thanks everybody who helped me through this bad time. I prob. won't be talking about it all for a few days--It hurts thinking about him right now.

I am so sorry Barb. You did everything you could have done for him and you should be commended for that. He is in a better place now, heaven. You two will meet again some day. Just think of the fond time you had together. He was sure lucky to have such a great owner as yourself. Again, I am so, so sorry for the loss and you both will be in my prayers. I will be lighting another candle in honor of him tonight.

Barb:

I'm so terribly sorry. I haven't been in the forum much lately and just saw this. You did everything you possibly could have done for him. He was so lucky to have had you for his mom.

Thanks everyone. My biggest problem is that I have very little faith in anything so I find it hard to 'truly believe' he is in a good place and is happy now. I want to believe things but wanting and doing are 2 different things. Maybe as time goes by and I am not so sad right now--Corky will have given me this thing called faith--a present I really need in my life. I started to reread 'All Pets Go To Heaven' (by Sylvia Browne) the day I took him for the bloodwork---I figured the news was going to be bad and that he would be gone that day. The few days after the draining of the fluids from his stomach he was 'better' than he had been for quite awhile but after that the kidneys sure got bad in a hurry. The last 24 hrs. of his life he was in terrible shape--never ate at all and was really weak and the bloodwork told the story--I had to let him go and I am having a hard time not crying. I dug a grave for him in my back yard by the patio and close to my bedroom window last night and this morning. My daughter picked him up from the vet's this afternoon and we buried him. I am going to plant lilies there. He was such a good dog and I love him so much--I just have to believe I will see him again some day.

I have no doubt you will be reunited some day. Consider daily prayer or even attending church if there is one near you. Ask God for faith. Look at the world around you and realize that all of us and everything was created by one superior being, God. I have no doubt you and Corky will be reunited in heaven some day.

Sorry Todd but I will never go to church--I do not believe in church at all. Man has messed up 'the teachings' from what they were originally meant to be so church is a big 'turn off' for me. More spirituality and faith is what I need. I am a Taurus and they have to have their feet on the ground and being 'the bull'--It is hard to convince me of anything--I have to see proof of everything--My sign--my make-up is very cautious. (and yes, I do believe in astrology!)---but as with everything else--It is more wanting to believe but if I could see proof --I would be 100% there. I have for years read (and own) many books by Sylvia Browne, Ruth Montgomery, Edgar Cayce, Seth books and many, many astrology books to name some . That is where my mindset is but even a little proof would be so wonderful and I am hoping Corky will/can help me with that.

I firmly believe that wherever Corky is, he is happy, healthy and running through fields of beautiful lush green grass chasing rabbits and squirrels. What a nice way for him to pass the time until the two of you are reunited!

Barb,

I just read the sad news about Corky. I am so sorry. My heart aches for you. Just know he is now free from pain and running with the big dogs.

RIP Corky

Hugs,

[Tucker]

Barb, I also just read about Corky - I am so sorry. I also don't go to church often but I do have faith - I just feel that there is a plan to all this madness - I guess it is basically a feeling of spirituality and do believe that all of us will be reunited with our loved ones, including our precious pets. While Corky was here with you he enjoyed the best life possible so please try to take some solace in that. You did all you could for him and you can be assured he was aware of your love.

Barb, I am so sorry. Just read about Corky and my heart is very sad for you. :cry:

[CorkyMax]

Thank all of you (Lara's Mom; CherylMartin; Tucker; Gracieownsme) for the kind and encouraging words about faith and how Corky is hopefully 'happy' right now. (Sorry, I am trying but I am a hard sell on faith--Wish I wasn't as it sure would make me feel a lot better right now).
I talk to Corky all the time as if he were still here and I sure want to believe that I will see him again. I do think that Corky was in my life to teach me something. But I sure do miss him.

You seem like nice people. I'm glad to hear Corky is feeling better. I was just going around, checking out the forums when I saw and read your post.

Best regards,

Paul, Christy, Prince and Charlie - Woof!

Thanks for the comments but you must of read this thread wrong. I had to put Corky to sleep on June 10th. I hope Corky is feeling better where he is now and I hope he is waiting for me and we meet again. He was my baby.

[Clrex]

I hope that I am not too late to offer you my condolences. I totally understand how you felt. I had a similar encounter just like yours about a year ago and my heart still aches terribly when I think of him.
Well when I think of him waiting at Rainbow Bridge, I feel much better

[german sheep]

it is always hard, when we have to let go one of our beloved babies.
We know that lifetime ends with dead, but this doesn't make things easier.

I hope, you will learn to live with the loss and in our thoughts they still live with us and always be.
