We had to let Woodie make his way to the Rainbow Bridge today. We will miss him terribly, but what a blessing to have had him in our lives.

He'll be waiting for us.

Sorry, bro!  :'(

Is he a Corgy?

Great friend wasnt he.

Remember him and make him part of you.

Mike

Sorry to read about Woodie's trip over the bridge.  Nice to know he is young and full of enery as he awaits for your future arrival. :'(

So very sorry, Bill      :'(

My love and vibes to you, Pat and the Jr. Brew, sweetie.

Jean

Sorry to hear that Bill. I know how much you guys loved him.

:'(

Thank you all for your sentiments.

I'll post a few more details later on about what led us to this point. It's just a little raw right now.

You guys are the best.

My heart hurts for you. :'(

 Amazing how these furry beings, get under our skin and into our hearts.  I am so sorry for the tears you and Pat and Roy are shedding.

As soon as you are able...please tell us all about him.

Linda

I keep thinking about the woodie travelogue - I'm so sorry Brew.  

He made us all smile with those pics, seems he was quite a character.

Oh, but our dogs are so wonderful, as are the memories you will hold. It's so sad they can't stay with us longer.My sympathies are with you and your family. I am sooo very sorry for your loss.

Well, Linda, since I don't have to write this myself, I will pilfer Pat's tribute from her Corgi list:

It is with desperate sadness that I announce that my beloved Woodie was helped to the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon.  He was 10 1/2.

He kept declining after the nights spent at the emergency vets several weeks ago.  Nothing seemed to stop the weakness in his legs, and then the neurological symptoms began, tics, head bobbing, eyes not blinking, falling, walking into houses and trees, walking in circles . . . . .  We made the decision this morning to let him go and were all with him this afternoon giving him goodbye loves and kisses.

He then had one long seizure which hastened our trip to the vet.  He passed peacefully in our arms and is no longer scared or in pain.

I will miss my buddy like no other.  He was a stoic, well-mannered gentleman of a corgi who came into our lives by accident and enriched us beyond measure.

Rest in Peace Pup.

Can this woman write, or what? She has taught me more than she'll ever know about caring and compassion.

Oh Brew...my heart aches for you all.  Our beloved pets become so much a part of us...we love them so.  I'm not sure Blake and I will ever get over the loss of our dear Rocky.

Woodie was a special pooch...a world traveler he was too.

Wish we could give you all a comforting hug.  Please know how sorry we are and that we're think of you.

Much love to you all....
Jackie



Modified to add:  Just read Pat's tribute......how beautiful and touching...

Bill:

So sorry to learn of the loss of your family pet.  They worm their way into our hearts and stay there.  The pain will give way to joyful memories of times spent together.

My sympathies,

Ray   :'(

Awwww... That's just awful. Bill, Pat and Roy I'm so sorry for your loss. Woodie looked like a little champion.

RIP Woodie.

with warm regards,
Tony

I am so sorry for your loss.  

Beth

I'm so sorry Bill.  

I'm so sorry... They just aren't with us long enough.  So much unconditional love in such a little package.  :'(

-Dennis-

So sorry :'( :'(

 Barry&Angie

So sorry for your loss.  :( :'(

Pets are people too. We love them like they are children. A lost of a pet is
very hard. You have a good way of looking at it.

They are so special, but like you said Woodie is no longer in pain. All animals go to heaven ! Your right Woodie will be right there at the gate to  lick your hand.

So sorry !

Sorry to hear the news, Bill. I do hope the rest of the crew is doing well!

Woodie IS resting in peace, cuz he was loved so much by you***
Only one who has loved and been loved back by a species other than ourselves could understand fully the grief***

Woodie is playing with his pals now, and you will meet again***

Blessings,
Kim

I am so sorry to hear about Woodie. I remember my two dogs, and it's not easy. He's in doggie heaven chasing rabbits, and happy and healthy. If he was with you, I know he had a good life.  [smiley=hug.gif]

Bill, thank you  :'(for sharing Pat's tribute to Woody with us.

And yes, that woman can indeed write.

   :'(

Really sorry Bill and it looks like Woodie lucked out bunking with you though.   :(

Charlie

:'(  My deepest sympathies going out to the Brew crew.

Rest in peace, Woodie.

hugs, nani

Sorry brew and family....

There are some things I hope for, some things I believe in, AND some things I know..THAT'S one of 'em...

So sorry for your loss.  It takes a lot of courage and a lot of love to make that choice for your pet.  Many hugs.

Langa

I'm so sorry to hear about Woodie.  He'll be in a happy place now and will wait with tail wagging to greet you again one day.

Hugs to you all
Carol

Bill...Pat...Roy...

Sorry to hear about this.  Sounds as if he was a great friend and companion.  Pat really said it well.

All the best,

George

I'm so sorry for your loss... [smiley=cry.gif]
That was a beautiful tribute.

Sanna

Sorry, bro!  :'( :'( :'(

Lord help me to be the man my dog thinks I am. All that love in a furry package, amazing how bad it hurts when they leave ya. Our love to you and yours.

Guiseppi

Bill, Pat and Roy,

So sorry to hear about your dog, you have our sympathies.

ouch   :'(

I'm so sorry for your loss. Rest well Woodie.

Its amazing how pets can touch our hearts.

Sorry to hear it Bill, Pat and Jr.

Jimmers

I, too, remember Woodie's travelog, Bill. He really was a special part of your family. I have this lil shitz-tsu named Hawkeye waiting for me as well....... he'll greet Woodie properly, and they'll keep watch over us all.
To me, it's like hot dogs and buns.....if there are 10 hot dogs, there should be 10 buns......if people live to be 80=90 yrs old, so should our beloved furry friends.........

My sympathy to all 3 of you.

Cathi

I am so sorry  :'(, you know I feel your pain...Woodie must be playing now with my Misty in heaven...

                                      Hugs

                                            Rosy  :'(

I am so sorry for you all  :'(

:'(  

Bill, Pat, and Roy,

I'm so sorry for the loss of Woodie.   :'(  Our pets really do have such a hold on our hearts.  It is such a tremendous loss to lose a beloved pet.  He will definitely be waiting for you, wagging tail, and smile on his face, for the day when you join him in Heaven.

Much love,
Carrie
