How very sad. Thank you for sharing his story with us. He was a lucky guy to have you cradle him in your arms when he died. May he rest in peace.

I know, even when they're sick and you know they're going to go does not even compare to the feeling once they're actually gone. I lost my yellow lab in February, I was also holding her and she died. I knew she was sick and she could have passed away, but she was such a little soldier. Once she was actually gone, I couldn't put into words how I felt. It was like my world had just changed beyond what I expected. I know what you mean about the ashes. It almost made it worse for me when I saw them, because I realized she was really gone...her body, her beautiful blonde fur, my pretty blonde girl that I used to brush, and wash as she would run away from the house...it's no longer here.

I know I will never "get over it" and no one ever does, but it just becomes more of a dull pain. The pain doesn't go, because the more you love someone four legged and furry, the more it hurts. I'm sure in 5 or 10 or 20 years of for my whole life, I will still cry when I think about the loss of Mackenzie.

Vito fought, and he was so brave, and so loved. He's now running fast than ever up in the fields. He's waiting for you up there at the Rainbow Bridge...where we will all meet again.
