I am so sorry to hear such sad news. To lose a cherished loved one is heart breaking.He gave you joy just as you gave him joy. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. My heart goes out to you.
Oh, I am so very, very sorry for the pain and loss of your beloved Rigel. May God grant you peace until the two of you are reunited again someday in Heaven. Hugs,~Marilyn
I am sorry to here this Belinda,my sympathies go out to you.On the lighter side,you got to spend 18 years with your best friend,and for a shepherd to live that long is pretty miraculous.
Thanks. It was actually 14 years. He was 4 when I adopted him. I loved him so much. We took care of each other. I saved him from the pound, but he saved me in far more heroic ways. I feel like part of me died with him.
Just came back to tell you I am thinking about you and your loss, I too have lost many furbabies, you will never forget and I choose to believe that we WILL see them again , over the rainbow bridge...
doggone! At least he had a good run. I had a Alaskian huskey that had more than a bit of wolf in her that we think she may have come from one such wolf sanctuary. She was such a beautiful dog and she died just a few years ago. I miss her! Great vid!
I'm so sorry for your loss. They are never with us for long enough. The pain is real enough to break us up into little pieces. However, we must pull it together eventually and perhaps find someone new to take their place. My thoughts are with you. I too have been there before and face going through it again many more times as we have 7 beloved animals in our care at this time.May your dear dog rest in peace until you meet again.
I am so so so sorry for your loss, i can only imagine how bad this hurts. I know Rigel is over the rainbow bridge waiting to see you again my dear. Cried thru this whole tribute
We are VERY sorry for your loss however we choose to CELEBRATE all the wonderful many years you and Rigel had together. When the day comes you decide to welcome another companion into your life, I hope in Rigel's memory the new one comes from a shelter and is given a second chance at life.
Hi Bazzaland. It's hard to celebrate in grief, but I'm trying. My celebration effort is in donating to WOLF sanctuary. I hope others will honor him this way as well.
Very sorry to hear of your loss, my deepest condolences, he was a beautiful dog. You had 18 wonderful years with him and nothing can ever replace that, these memories will never go away. God bless.
A beautiful tribute! I am so sorry for your loss as I know how strong a bond the two of shared. Rigel will be with you always and not forgotten. (((Hugs)))
that was truly beautiful RIP Rigel, i know how your feeling alot of people just dont understand that they are more then just animals there family and losing them tears us apart.
Belinda, I share your pain. I never knew Rigel, but I know too well that empty feeling. I've outlived a few treasured pets in my own life. The most recent: a little lady who gave me 18 years of total devotion.
The best I can offer is: cherish the memories, and go on. We have to. We're stuck with it... Dammit...
So sorry you have lost your dear friend. I read the story linked to this video. He was truly a beautiful and special animal. It is obvious the two of you shared a very specail bond. You will be in my prayers.
Very sad. I'm sorry.

18 years for a dog is pretty long. Our dog is 6. Fortunately, she's still pretty energetic. Maybe she'll live to be that old. :D
