* 10th commandment *

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS.........

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

...you herbie...

*
your big curious eyes...
&
completely busted expression
your
....humongous paws
soft kisses...
....silly love of musical stuffed animals...
~steve the gorrilla..joe the monkey ..dewberry the strawberry~

...the way you swam like a majorette in a parade...

...the soundtrack that played in your head
i heard it when i looked at you....
* do-pidee do-do-pidee do *

...you...
so
happy..

...you were perfect to her...
...even when you pulled her tail...
*she adored you *

herbie
you kept her ears cleaner than i ever could have*
*THANK YOU*

...you loved my boy from the second you met...

you comforted & loved us
* during our most challenging times *
the kisses you gave us as we grieved
my dad/grandpa

Sobbing over here. My deepest condolences, Maggie and Colman. I love the pictures of Herbie, especially the one of him as the "shadow". How adorable. You'll see him again someday and be able to look into those beautiful eyes again.

Maggie, my heart aches for your loss of Herbie. I am surprised but know all too well the difficulties with this beloved breed.

Sending hugs, prayers from Nancy

Gwaycee especially will miss her Herbie, her dear boyfriend.
