You were deaf, but it didn't matter.
You were as handsome as a prince.
We were poor at first. Neither one of us had any toys.
But you played with flies on the screen door with me.
You even found a paper cup in the street and we spent hours rolling it back and forth in the garage.
I remember when I was so excited when mom was finally able to buy me a new pair of shoes for kindergarten.
You chewed them to pieces. I was upset with you.
I cried.
And you licked every single tear from my face and then licked me until your mouth went dry.
When we lived behind the high school, so many kids would cut through our backyard.
You'd get so excited when you saw new people.
But they didn't know. They didn't know you couldn't hear them.
It was okay. When that boy yelled at you and you didn't listen, he hit the side of your face with a stick.
I jumped the fence and punched him in the mouth.
Did you think he deserved it? I bet you didn't.
You were the absolute sweetest.
I wish I could be more like you.
I cried again today after you died. You weren't there.
You couldn't get those tears off of my face.
But you would have. You would have.
And knowing that is the hardest thing.
My Jojo. I miss you.
(I'm sorry, but I had to write something somewhere. No one really understands what that animal meant to me.)

I'm sorry to hear that man. I cried when we had to put my dog to sleep back in high school when she was only 2.5 due to some rare autoimmune disorder I truly pity people who have never experienced the pure joy of owning a dog.
Dogs are so awesome, and yet they're gone so soon.
Got any pics of happy times with him?

Even if all dogs don't necessarily go to heaven... sounds like this one would.

you were good friends
i bet the dog enjoyed your company as much as you enjoyed his
he must have been happy
if our dog died i'd feel just the same.. he's really caring and always there to lighten my mood if i'm feeling bad - family

Really sad, pets are best friends.
Reminds me of the poem Nada wrote when his dad died...this style is just really touching.

What the fuck? Maybe take a break and think about being more respectful of pubbanana who just lost a dear friend.

I've been wanting to own a dog myself and I'm really beginning to consider it after realizing how many people are able to have such a close relationship with their pet.
I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure you've made many happy memories, though!

Very touching, sorry dude. =(
|
Apart from his name being incredibly annoying, his posts are also of the same substance.
|
I couldn't imagine how I would feel if any of my dogs died.
Sorry for your loss man.
|
dogs do not cost 20 dollars and you are an asshole

Sorry for your loss. Condolences. I've had several dogs die now (we always get ones nobody wants from the rescue centre) and it always hurts. I feel for you.
|
I really hope my older dog doesn't die soon... I would miss him so very much for the rest of my life. If only they could live at least twice as long as they do. T_T

o wow =(
I'm sorry for your loss...
