Today My Baby Lost His Best Friend

Today was the saddest day of my baby’s life.

He lost his beloved pet, his hiking buddy, his most loyal friend.

He lost Tucker.

4/8/2008 ~ 6/10/2009

Tucker was around a year old when he came to live with us.  He was a stray that showed up at the home of my parents in April of last year.  So the day he came to live with us is the day I have listed above.

He so loved the woods and every day (except trash day) he was allowed to roam free in the woods.

Each evening and numerous times throughout the day he would come up to the front porch to sleep.

He knew where to come for love.

The forestry behind and surrounding our home was his playground.

. . .and that is where I found him today.

He was injured badly.

We have the sweetest country veterinarian who allowed My Christopher to hold him in his arms during his passing and to bring him home where we laid him to rest in a very small clearing in the forest.

He will always be in his “happy place”.

May you rest in peace Tucker.

    Oh Kimber my heart just goes out to you guys and especially Cade. I know what its like to loose such a close friend at such a young age. Our last dog we had when I was young (about 13) was hit by a car and was barely alive. We took him to the Vet and he explained that if he tried to fix all his internal injuries that if he could my little buddy would live a horrible life. My dad left the decision up to me as the vet recommended putting him down. It was a very hard decision for me at such a young age but I knew what was best for my friend.

    We will have you all in our prayers.

    Love and Prayers,

    Tim

    I know it’s hard as I’m dealing with the loss of my cat who was my first pet. My thoughts are with your family and especially Cade.

    I am so sorry to hear that Kim. I will keep Cade in our prayers. Mady lost her dog a few years ago, we had her for 9 years. That was so horrible, so I feel your pain. Take Care!

    Oh no…that is so very sad. I am sure Cade is just devasted. That is so heartbreaking.
    I am so sorry for his loss.
