February 13, 2012 at 11:30, I lost my beloved JRT of almost 16 years. Though he was old, it doesn't change the fact that I didn't want to lose him. He was the best dog ever. I have a clip of him on Youtube saying 'I want one!' He was full of life, too smart for his own good, and the best friend I ever had. T-Bone was spunky and not afraid of anything. He made me laugh, he made me mad, he made me feel loved, and in the end, he made me cry. I feel some guilt for choosing the time he had to go although I know it was time and it was so peaceful. It doesn't take much to start the tears pouring out. I can't look at his picture without falling all to pieces, and I surely hope it gets some easier. He can never be replaced. They all have their own personalities and whether some think it isn't possible, I believe they have souls. T-Bone, I love you and will never EVER forget you..... you were one of a kind!
Losing a dear family member of 16 years is indeed heart wrenching.
Please don’t beat yourself up over choosing his time to go. Such an act takes the greatest courage and love. Never forget this.
I too believe that all living things have souls. JRT is waiting for you in the next step of your journey together. Until that day, take refuge in your loving memories together.
