Baxter and I have a pact. That he will never leave me and I will never leave him. And I know it's official, because we shake on it every day. Shaking multiple times, using both paws and hands to be extra sure and even sealing it with a snackie and a kiss. Because it is that important. Because it simply has to be.
Yet despite our best efforts, I know there will come a day when one of us won't be able to hold up our end of the bargain. When one of us must say goodbye and join his brothers before him. But I hope it is not for a very very very very long time.
Rest in peace, sweet Maggie, and the warmest of hugs to Joey and his dad.

What a beautiful post...
pawhugs, Max
A tough day for Carson indeed. It isn't easy saying good-bye to a friend, no matter how many legs they have.
I agree, a beautiful post, made me tear up just a bit...
Oh no! Poor sweet Maggie. Tears in my eyes. Kirby will get extra hugs and kisses and treats tonight.

I know exactly what you mean because Oscar and I have the same pact. I feel so sad when someone loses a special dear fur friend. :(

Molly was in the midst of begging for my breakfast (she finishes my cereal everyday) when I read your post and then Carson's. Boy, did she make out like a little bandit today... (not that she would deliberately use tragedy to her own benefit or anything ;-)
I made Baron and Duchess promise me that they would stay with me forever last night as I cried for Maggie and Joey and Carson. If it only it was that easy and a promise would keep them with us forever.
oh soooooooooo sad!
mom and me have tears in our eyes... sneef sneef

I feel so terrible for Maggie's family ... it is such a horrible thing to experience, temporarily over-riding the years of joy and love. I've been through it myself a few times- and the heart pain never changes.
I pretty much expect that I'll have to be medicated when the time comes that Milo and I have to say goodbye. But like your momma, Baxter, I wish it to be a very very very very very long time away!
For now he'll just have to put up with some extra hugs, kisses, and cookies.
amen....
'nuff said.
Hi Baxter and Baxter's Mom and Dad - thanks so much for the beautiful post - love the pact.
It's been a tough couple of days, but all the support certainly has made things a little easier. Maggie is so missed.
