Rosmar

[Gill]

A very sad post . I hope nobody minds.






This is me and Rosmar on top of Malvern Beacon a few years ago.



In those days her muzzle was black and she could run through the hills all day. Time has passed and her muzzle has grayed. She slowed down a lot with arthritis too, but last night she still enjoyed her daily walk through the local woods. It was great having her with us and giving her a fuss, even if she could no longer chase the squirrels or run around the way she used to. After all, 15 years is ancient by Alsation standards.

This lunchtime I took her dog biscuit into the living room, one of her little treats. She was sleeping very soundly and wouldn't wake up, not even for her biscuit.

Bless you Rosmar. You've given me so much love and joy over the years that you'll always be with me, even now that you're not.

Gill,
You are definately in my thoughts! Rosmar was lucky to have you as a friend and companion.

Gill,
My thoughts are with you, I too know the sadness one feels with the loss of a four legged friend

Grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you.
I loved you so -
'twas Heaven here with you.

Oh Gill!!!

I am so sorry for your loss, I feel for you.
I read your post, and... well


My Aïsha, a GSD, is somewhat in the same situation, she just turned 10 and also has some arthritis.

I happened to be looking at some pictures of her last night when she was 2 and now; the graying of the muzzle was what hit my wife and me the most when we saw them.

I have a big hug for you in my heart,
May she rest in peace and run free with the spirits.

Your friend Marcel

Gill,
I'm sooo sorry to hear of your loss. I'm owned by a German Shephed and I do know the special bond that forms.

Gill,

You definitely have my sympathy. I've been thru this too many times and it's tough. I have an idea that you had a very lucky dog to share her life with you. I'm sure she had a very kind master and comfortable home and that should hopefully console you some. She lived a very long life. I'll be thinking of you today.

We are all sorry to hear of your loss Gill.
You and yours are always in our thoughts, even more at a time like this.
Rosmar was very lucky to have such a loving companion.

The ones we miss are always in our hearts and only a thought away.

Bless you both.

Really sorry to hear about your dog Gill. BTDT and even though it was 2 years ago, it still hurts.

Gill,
My thoughts are with you in this really crummy time. I keep thinking I will get old enough that I won't have this to go through again. Somehow, the everyday companionship and unfaltering acceptance of a pet makes it (at least for me) harder to bear than the death of many people.
As I'm writing this, I'm stroking the head of my 11-year old sheltie, Chaddie, and trying to ignore the greying muzzle, the slowed gait, and the slight but noticable loss of hearing. I look foreward to seeing all my best friends at the Rainbow Bridge.
Please give yourself a hug from me.

My dearest Gill,
My heart is with you my dear. I to lost a very loving, caring friend. Her name was Sammy. I won't call her a dog, because she didn't know she was one. She thought she was just like the rest of the family. Which she was. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her and I know that when my time comes to leave here, she will be there to greet me as will your beautiful Rosmar.

Gill,

I'm so very sorry.

My 3 dogs are my kids and I can only imagine what you must be feeling. My heart goes out to you.

Gill,

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our GSD (Ben - 14 1/2 years old) over 5 years ago, and not a day goes by when I don't still miss him.

Remember the good times that you had together, and console yourself that Rosmar's passing was gentle, and that she is at peace now.

My thoughts are with you and your husband at this sad time.

Gill,
As others, I am deeply saddened. I went through the same experience with our "pup" not too many years ago, and after 17 years with her by our sides we were deeply grieved. To have to struggle with this once is bad enough, but you've had to endure this twice in such a short period of time. I know you won't forget them. God bless.
