The worst day of my life RIP Riley
There is nothing peaceful about putting your loved one to sleep. The vet couldn't believe Riley has made it this far. He couldn't find a vein to put the shot into because there were so many sores. God it was horrible! Riley cried as the shot went in I just held him tight and kept telling him he was the best dog in the world and I loved him. I couldn't let him go my parents had to drag me out. We brought him in in his favorite blanket so that made me feel better. I had to be there for him I couldn't let them put my best friend down without me being by his side and looking into his eyes!
At least a good thing was when we got home this plant that never bloomed had two giant white flowers on them..like Riley was letting us know he made it over the rainbow bridge, he is in doggie heaven now. I cant describe the pain I feel its unbearble...My parents dont want to get another dog for awhile..my dad even said maybe he should get a cat because he never wants to go through this again...Please pray that god will comfort my family..we need it.
A funny memory I thought of today was that whenever Riley had gas and farted he got up and looked at his butt and then ran..like he didnt know where the sound came from. That used to make me crack up.
Sir Riley of Pembroke Rest In Peace April 25th 2000 to September 27th 2008. In a few weeks we will get his ashes and I have made up a special place to put them along with some of his toys and photos.....I hope he can be reborn into the next dog we get if we do.

I am so sorry for your loss! Riley was a well loved corgi and he looked so very happy. It is never easy to lose a best friend. My Courtney is waiting for Riley over the rainbow. My heart is with you during this time of sorrow.

Glad to hear you got through this hard day. You were so strong at the vet, and it was great that he had his favorite blanket there as well. I'm shedding a tear here, thinking about Riley. I am sure he is looking over you and your parents now.

Animals with as much personality as Corgis must go to Heaven. I know your dear little Riley is there having a grand old time chasing birds and chewing on bones. I will pray for you and your family... you have given him the best life he could have ever wanted!!

Thank you for being with Riley and holding him during his journey. He loved you to the end and in his own way will help you in the coming days and weeks to realize what a wonderful life he lived. Remember, that fourth day will come and you will feel him there beside you very faintly. They always have a way of letting us know, it's okay and thank you.
Hugs to your family. Someday, when the time is right, Riley will help you make that decision on another pup. It may be just days from now or could be years, but it will happen. For now let the tears flow and know that we are all here for you.

I hope you feel my hug from across the miles. I prayed for you and dear Riley. You were always there for him and that takes courage when they are so ill. I commend you for your strength, especially today. These wonderful, precious gifts we are given in the form of pets, to become family, know when they are loved, and they love unconditionally in return. Riley knew your love and will be with you always. Bless you.

Patti and I are weeping with you; tears of sorrow for your deep, deep loss and tears of joy for your wonderful memories of precious Riley. Oh how I know that pain of watching the vet try to find a vein! I've been through it with my kitties and with my dogs. It's never easy when it's one of your "children." Goddess bless you for carrying Riley over the threshold of that Bridge. I feel as you do: I walked with them through this life and I will walk with them to the end. Many of my vets have not understood that in me. It speaks volumes not only about your love for Riley but for your character. Our most heartfelt prayers for comfort as your mourn. I will be sending along a private note. Rest in peace, precious Riley.
