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.

My heart breaks for you!!! I will certainly pray for comfort for you all. I am sorry that it was such a rough ending. Now he is in peace though. May God comfort you....write me anytime.
Don't even think about whether you should or should not get a dog now...it is too much. Decision making is stressful and now is your family's time to grieve and to somehow come to an acceptance of why bad things happen to great dogs. My deepest condolences for your huge loss.
I hope you keep your page here, even though Riley has passed on. I am sure that we all want to stay in touch with you and help bear your burden of sorrow. You have many people that care for you here as I am sure you do in the "real" world.
Take care, Joy and you're welcome if anything I said or did, helped. Ecclesiastes 3:..."There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven:...a time to be born and a time to die....a time to weep and a time to laugh...a time to mourn and a time to dance...time to tear and a time to mend." " Right now is your time to weep and mourn and through this you will mend (heal).
You prayed so hard for his healing and I like you believe in miracles. I often worry when I pray that I maybe didn't say the "right phrase" but God is sovereign and he knows what are deepest intentions are. I don't know why God didn't perform a miracle for Riley but you were faithful in praying for him. God will be faithful in fullfilling his promises to you...to be your Rock and Anchor through this hard time.
God bless you and yours this night and through the difficult days ahead. Joy

A Parting Prayer
Dear Lord, please open your gates
and call St. Francis
to come escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.
Assign her to a place of honor,
for she has been a faithful servant
and has always done her best to please me.
Bless the hands that send her to you,
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing her from pain and suffering.
Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of her life
with the love she has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor her
by sharing those memories with others.
Let her remember me as well
and let her know that I will always love her.
And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,
please allow her to accompany those
who will bring me home.
Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of her companionship
and for the time we've had together.
And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the strength
to give her to you now.
Amen.

My thoughts are with you. 3 months ago I sat where you sit and felt the same pain. But this too shall pass. Riley wouldn't want you moping for long. And there is always room in your heart for another Corgi.
