I Died Today. By Duke Roberts.


And I ate a lot of hamburgers. We had a party.


And I laughed.


And I thought about how much I’m going to miss it here.


We told jokes.



***And here’s Dukey’s adoption video from three years ago

8. Don't worry snotcicles.

Tomorrow is Monday and it is going to kick your ass.

13. I thought I was the only one

who thinks Sundays are sad. They always get to me, and I find myself humming Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down".

Hang in there, Snotcicles, it won't come around again for another six days.

[Snotcicles]

15. Thanks for the cheering up. I think I'll make it. nt

but it is Cash's voice I hear. I just heard Kris' version a few weeks ago.

I did bawl that day and I cried for month after.

5. cannot watch...already crying

I miss my girls so much. Yet, it's always Heartwarming to know that others consider their furbabies true family members.

11. Bawling my eyes out.

God I miss my dogs so much, the dearly departed and the ones that are at home, oblivious as to where lady human has gone (I'm on a three month research trip).

Dogs are simply the best and their lives are not near long enough.

I wish I hadn't clicked on this thread.

12. even though i posted it -- i know how you feel.

the big love of my life is a dog who's not here any more - and i always miss him.

they're kids who never grow and leave home.

[MissDeeds]

14. Same here

I'm a puddle. I knew I was going to bawl, but my love of dogs took over. Lord, how I miss my precious "Nathaniel" (named for Hawthorne), a twelve and a half year old bichon that went to the Rainbow Bridge December 10, 2012. He was my best buddy and showed me constant and unconditional love. I think he read my feelings more than any human ever has. I miss him each and every day.

Thank goodness sweet Duke had a good and loving family. I don't know how they kept it together for his final day, but I am glad they did.

RIP, Duke

16. Oh, goodness.

17. Couldn't watch the video and can barely see to type.

What a sweet guy Dukey must be.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Nooo! This is so heartbreaking.

I know that dogs can't live forever, but I just can't bear it when they have to go. I think they are the most wonderful creatures in the world. I wish they could live forever. Poor baby!

20. My baby girl turns 15 in a month and is showing it. I can't bear to even think about it....
