Chewbacca , Forever Missed , Never Forgotten
Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2010 6:10 pm
Although I have read many posts here on this board over the years , I have never posted until now , which is
Truly the saddest day I have experienced in a long , long time .
14+ years ago we rescued a Chow Chow from a couple north of us , who , although they had a Basset Hound ,
They just had to purchase a puppy Chow Chow . Well after being regulated to the garage ( according to the Man ) ,
The Man convinced the rest of the family that if they were not going to treat both dogs the same then they needed to do what was right for the Chow , and put him up for adoption . Both My wife and I felt the desire to assist this Golden Lion . Thus We adopted 1 year old Chewbacca . Sadly after giving both of us the Joy of his companionship for the last 14+ , We had to euthanize him early this afternoon here in our home due to medical conditions arising from his age .
The Joy that Our little " Chewy " brought us will never be forgotten and He will always be missed . We knew this time was coming over these past few months , but it sure did not make it any easier . I truly believe he also knew it was time , as the vet first gave a relaxer , which Chewy did not mind . He then walked to the window and took one more look around his kingdom , then came to me and laid in my arms as if to say " O.K. " . A 50 year old Truck driver crying like a 2 year old as I held my little man .
He is now buried in his favorite spot on our 5 acre little place , so we can always watch over him and he can watch over us .
I truly hope there is a Heaven as I want to be able to reunite with my little Lion when my time comes .
