az_shooter Report post Posted November 7, 2013 Rest in peace Yogi, you will be missed more than i could ever explain. You were my best friend and you brought so much joy to all of us. It's a shame you had to go but i swear you will never be forgotten bud. You didn't understand "no" very well but you know that we will always love you and you will always be with us. We buryed you at your first hunting spot so you can forever be lazy under the shade tree and chase the cows when you get bored because I'm not hitting the birds as they fly. In the short time you were with us you taught us so much. I could go on for days about things I could say for you but I'll just leave it at I love you and will never be the same without you. I hate to say good bye so I wont, I'll just wait for the time I see you again. R.I.P. Yogi November 7, 2012 - November 6, 2013, you'll always be in our hearts 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesPursuit Report post Posted November 7, 2013 It's sad and hurts but I like to read these 10 things every once in awhile, from the dogs perspective. Kudos for you coming through on #10, been there and words can't explain. So sad to hear and sorry that #1 didn't apply, it didn't for my first best friend either. I live by these now. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me. 2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 3. Place your trust in me—it is crucial to my wellbeing. 4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment. 5. You have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I only have you. 6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice. 7. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget. 8. Remember before you hit me that I have sharp teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you. 9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting too old and weak. 10. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old. Accompany me on difficult journeys. Never say: “I cannot bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there—even my death. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
