Good By Sweet Orbit


With a heavy heart I write this good by to my Sweet Orbit. Yesterday I had to let him go....I put him down at 6:30 last evening.

I miss him...My shadow who had become a part of my space. It feels so empty now, the vastness of him now gone from our lives.

Funny how much they become a part of who you are and who you've been. Orbit was there with me during some of the darkest times of my life. Always at my side....and now he's gone.

As simple as that....gone.

Its been a hard three days, but I feel better now. He got sick very quickly and he was suffering at the end, I had to let him go, for his sake, because I know he would not leave me, and would of held on until the bitter end.

Good By Sweet Orbit....Don't wait for me, go....play....and be happy. Don't worry about me, I'll be okay

I'll see you on the other side...be at peace.

I love you Sweet Orbit...

Oh my god! I'm so sorry. *hugs you tight*...I've been there before too. It's so sad and lonely even though you know it was for the best. But it still hurts horribly.

*waves to Orbit too* Bye little fella! Be sure to look up my little red dachshund Gretchen on the other side and hang out with her. She's lots of fun and will show you around :)

*hugs you again*...I'm sorry, Holly.

I'm sorry for your loss. We just had to put my parents doxie down a couple of weeks back. It's hard losing your best friends, your most loyal companions. But I have hope that we'll all be reunited again, somewhere on the Rainbow Bridge. Hang in there.

Oh Holly I am so sorry. It does sound like it happened in the best way - like you had enough time to say good bye, but he didn't have to suffer long. Still, you never want to have to lose a pet.

I don't doubt at all that you'll see him again one day, and he'll be like he was when he was young and energetic.

Hope the other dogs aren't too confused, I know the loss of Orbit must be affecting your whole household. :(
Take care!
