Default one of the hardest days for me.

Today i lost my best Friend, buddy, and the best K9. Lightning was amazing Lab, from day one when i saw him in the pound i knew we would have amazing life together. His name was Shaq at the pound but once i saw him running around chasing tennis balls he was quick Lightning, so that name stuck. He was amazing listener and loved other dogs and people. he not once bit or bark at other dogs bt just sat and watched. He was also a amazing stepbrother to Minnee. when she came home the first day from the rescue he took her under hs wing and showed her the ropes. Lightning as touched so many people from one side of te US to the other side. Have fun in Heaven playing ball and getting all the treats you can eat. I will forever love you my boy Lightning, i will see you soon in the frield of green grass.

thank you for your comment (and others comments that have been posted)

i know he had a long and lovely life. i think he did more things as a dog then most people would ever do. he lived in three states across the country and had touched so may lives.

he was trained as a therapy dog for about 4 years or his life and loved visiting children and letting them touch his fluffy fur and soft ears. he would lay and listen to children read him books while they learned new words..

he loved being on the boat and on the ocean but he hated to swim lol. i never met another lab that didnt like to get wet ha.. that just made him one of a kind.

today after i cried my eyes out when i had to feed his sister. Minnee and i went to Lightning's park that he always loved. this was his park from which he visited when he was a puppy and each and everytime we visited back to Maryland. i moved back to Maryland with them almost a year ago and started taking him back to his park. i swear to god that he remember every tree and area from years before. i could tell me loved being back.

this also was the last park he visited yesterday morning before everything went wrong. he stated having seizures about 1 hour after his walk and when i took him to the ER they xray him and saw that he had cancer all over in his body. he never showed any signs. he never turned down food or water and he alsways had energy. the doctor stated that he must have had cancer in his brain and that caused the seizures.

i just cant believe that within 12 hrs yesterday i lost my best friend.


this park and trail will never be the same without my boy walking next to my side. i know to day he was walking next to me and his sister. the sky had not one cloud and the tress were blowing and making it so beautiful. it made me cry the whole time we walk it..
Minnee

Sorry to hear you lost your Best Friend. I lost mine September 14, 2010. Ralphie and I were together 15 years.


I know the hurt you must feel......it will get better...but it takes a long time.
