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.

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...
|
Beautiful elegy for a wonderful family member.

it's a real shame. sorry man.

Stop derailing to talk about shitty posters, he's already gotten banned over it so you don't need to keep pointing it out.

='( Poor pubbanana. I feel upset just thinking about it :O Still, I think it's beautiful that it existed in your life, and that you've been able to have these feelings.
I truly pity people who have never experienced the pure joy of owning a dog.
PITY ME! Mother is allergic to fur :O But one day I will get a bunny... Much joy will be that day.

hahah cute!
poor doggy

I remember when I was 16 my dog died. He was 17. He was always there, ever since my birth. When I was younger I'd always cringe at the thought of life without him =[
and when it came I was horribly lost =[ =[
|
i remember my wonderful siamese cat that was there ever since i was born, and he always slept in my bed with me and was always nice to me. one day when i was 15 i came home from my dad's house and my mom had put him to sleep T__T
|
Aww gee, I never had an animal that could be as good a friend as a dog, but I feel for you. It's sad when they die but it's always worth the times you have with them. :']

there is no loss that i fear more than that of my dog. perhaps it is simply my human weakness that i am often so troubled by life's lack of absolutes, but the one truth i've always held dear in the most private of my thoughts is the pure friendship i share with my dog. i truly believe i am who i am today because of a $300 investment that on the first day chewed on my shoelaces and slept in the palm of my hand.
may your memories of your times together always bring a smile to your face

sorry for your loss
had a dog who was put to rest last year after being 12 years old. most loyal and sweetest animal i had :[
|
omg
RIP!
I have a cat who I love!  It's my best friend.. if he (not it!) died I would
|
sad to hear this, my sympathies are with you
i love my dogs and i'd be devestated if i lost any of them.
dogs are some of the best friends any human can have. raising a dog truly is a life-changing experience, in the best way possible. for every lick of effort you put in to build the relationship, they'll always be willing to put in twice as much.
RIP

my dog had a stroke the other day
hes still alive though
sorry your dog died

This really touched me, surprisingly. I've never owned a dog even though lately I've reallyyyy wanted one for some reason. I think a big reason was because I was scared of the pain of losing him/her eventually. I'm sorry dude ;(.

I parents got rid of my Hannah when I was about 11, I felt like someone had just punched me in the stomach as hard as they could, to be honest I didn't even know how to feel, I was too upset to even cry about it... if that makes any sense.
I don't think I'll ever get another pet because of it.
|
=( im sorry dude, poor jojo TT im sure he loved you the same way you love him
|
This is so sad. Im sorry for you.
When i read the text my eyes became watery/wet(dunno the word).
Thats because i can really feel how that hurts........

I am sorry for your loss as well.
Happy Birthday?

I feel you.
There was time time when my dog (Sophie) got sick, like really sick, she was really bad. She had eaten some posion and we all thought she was going to die, I couldn't believe how hard did it hit me. I cryed for hours just hugging her and all. She didn't die, but that day showed me that I love my dog more than I know, and I will always.
She's still with me, and I'm sorry to hear that yours is gone. Sounds like you were really close together.
I'm truly sorry for your loss.
|
sorry to hear. i kept reading the blog title telling myself i wouldn't read it cos it would probably make me sad. read it made me sad . shitty even to think about.
|
Wow really nice poem man, thats really sad.
Just so happens some of the saddest music ever turned on as I read this, made it even worse.
|
Nice writing man, I'm really sorry for your loss. It made me think of my two dogs that passed
|
|
|
Nothing much to say except my condolences.
You can't quite connect to many pets like you can to dogs. So lovable.
Feel better.
|
sorry for your lose ;(. i personally would be devastated if one of my dogs died. your writing makes me sad, and it wasn't my dog.
|
haha i call you a pussy...
+ Show Spoiler +j/k i was worse. My dog, cocker spaniel named Uno, died Feb 7 '08 and i kept my family up til like 3am crying and punching the wall cus i was pissed.
was at a friend's lan party that night... RIGHT FUCKING AFTER my lil bro told me to spend some time with Uno.
nice poem, btw. Not many people are capable of actually expressing themselves in written/creative ways.
|
R.I.P.
Losing pets are just as painful as losing a family member or friend.
|
Wow, sorry man. I don't know what else to say...
|
Sad
I know the pain of putting down a beloved pet. Hope you find a new companion soon, friend.
|
Fuck. My eyes are moist... My heartfelt condolences.
+ Show Spoiler +Beautifully written. Very touching. Frame your memory of him within your heart.
