Good bye my friend

Pejay · Guru

Milo, at this point in time, words really won't mean much, and to be honest, don't know what to say anyway, but our friend... our thoughts are with you.

Oh Milo, I am so sorry mate, he sure made you smile and his memory will continue to do that for you.

Happywanderer · The Master

Oh milo, you brought tears to my eyes. I know how you are feeling and wish you well. The wonderful memories with your mate will never fade.

My best friend close his eyes today
As his head was in my hand
The doctor said he was in pain
It was hard for him to stand

The thoughts that scurried throught my head
As i cradle him in my arms
Were of his younger puppy year's
And OH his many charms

Tomorrow there be no gentle nudge
With the intence "I love you gaze"
Only a heart that fillled with tears
Remembering our joy filled years

But a angel just appeared to me
And he said "You should cry no more
GOD also loves our canine friend"s
HE'S installed a doggy-door

REST IN PEACE BEN

Think we all bonded with Ben the last couple of weeks.
Feels like we lost one of our own.
Hang in there Milo. You did the best you could in the circumstances.

Read Lilly's poem, it is magic, and true, !! It takes a lot to make me shed a tear, but you and Ben, have managed to do it. !! R.I.P. Benny Boy Rgs dazren.

Yes Milo a sad day indeed. As I sit here my german shepherd (in ashes form) looks over me on the computer and 5 years later it is still very hard. I hope you can get some consultation from your wonderful memories. Your precious pet was lucky to have you.

Thinking of you at this sad time Milo but at least you were there to hold Ben in your arms as he passed peacefully away. Remember all memories will be happy ones!

Dunmowin · Guru

What can I say that has not already been said. Milo, you stood by your Ben to the last. We would do the same for our Brodiel.

Gday...
Milo, we haven't met you or Ben ... but we have been reading about Ben over the past weeks.
We echo all the thoughts said above and as we too lost a 'best mate' we know how you feel. Choked back a tear.

R.I.P BEN

Although we never got to give you a pat or a scratch, Ben.
Our tears of sorrow are very genuine.
Time heals and the pain subsides.
But the many happy memories will live on for many years to come.

Thinking of you Milo,

Robyn & Ted

Milo, I am so sorry to hear your sad news.
I know that there are no words that can ease your pain but I am sure that you will take comfort from knowing that so many of us truly do care.
You and Ben were fortunate to find each other and be such great mates.
I have been there too and I am crying with you.

howdrink · Senior Member

Sorry to hear that news Milo our thought's are with you
its hard when you loose your mate just think of all the times you had with him
that's one thing that they can't take away good memories

denninelli · Veteran Member

I also am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you were there with him. He knew you loved him so.

Cee · Senior Member

So sorry to hear the sad news Milo. Not that it's any consolation, but I'm glad that Ben had a peaceful passing with his best mate by his side.

Allara · Senior Member

Milo, I am so very sad at the loss of Ben and of knowing what you must be going through. Your hurt will pass with time, but Ben's is over, he is out of pain, he is a happy dog again, up in heaven. He will watch over you and possibly send another friend for you to love.

Remember all the good times and know that God needed a good dog, so Ben is happy.

RIP Ben

Allara, Maggie, Susie, Remi, Teddy and Missy and Bobby

So sorry Ben lost his battle, Milo -- we've been through just that too -- but he was so lucky to have you by his side. Our thoughts are with you.

Thank you every one , once again.... nice to have your thoughts and prayers.
I just got a call from pets at peace, I should be getting Ben Ramsay's ashes back
on thursday, at least its some closure for me I guess...
I'm aslso considering making a nice card with a pic of ben on it and giving that to our vet, who was so great with ben all these years... it was hard on him too..
and im backing up all my pics n videos of ben too on disc, so i hope i never loose them..
I'm going to the Uk in feb with my dad for a few months , and then maybe if i dont sell my house inbetween time i may have a little friend again.. I'll give myself plenty of time before i do that though, as much as it hurts to not have my fourlegged buddy around and find myself still talking to him,... 4 years on and i still talk with my mum..... i guess its normal.??

milo...
