Our Sweet Beloved Slidell has gone to the further shore to join Patzky and Kali to romp in eternal delight. He came into our lives 11 years ago this past June. We loved him so. He and Patzky were brothers and I am so saddened to have lost them both this year. This is a hard one…he was Richard's dog…mine too…but he was Richard's…..the memories of him sleeping under the desk or jumping on the couch and his wagging tail knocking things over…we have been so blessed to be with him…yesterday he could not jump on the couch and I felt how skinny he had become…he had an inoperable tumor in his throat…we were going to try and fatten him up…he had a great last meal…but he could not keep it down…he was in the studio and I heard him trying to vomit…so I let him out the door and he went down into the garden…Carlos and the guys found him this morning….Slidell….Sweet Slidell is gone…his Spirit will always be with us….this is a tough one……
I am so very sorry to hear this, especially since it has been such a short time since you lost your dear Patzky!!! Isn’t it amazing how our fur and feather babies burrow into our hearts forever?? I just lost my 31 year old cockatiel, Patch, on July 4th. He was with me more than half my life!!! I miss his greetings and his special little whistles. I will keep you all in my thoughts. I wish you peace!!!
Slidell is resting peacefully and lovingly in your hearts. My condolences to you both.
If I ever had a favorite of all the doggies(and that was hard)Slidell was the one, and I am so sad for you both and right now, and crying with love for dear Slidell. Big big hug to you and Richard. Thanks for writing your above beautiful conclusion to dog of doggies.
How difficult to lose two beloved pets in the course of a few months. Thinking of you…
Our Beloved Eternal Friends…each one missed, celebrated, held high & remembered…only to be found again one day…together!
Teary reading this two years later!
still tears….bittersweet……
