**Celebrating Otis**
I had two litters of Labrador puppies, and I held Otis in my hands when he took his first breath, and I held him in my arms when he took his last.
We've had a few dogs over the years, but none compare to Otis. He was one of the good ones! He wasn't a barker or in any way mean or nasty. He didn't need to be leashed in the front yard because he never ran after people, or left our sides.
He lived for walks, playing ball, and for swimming, until he could no longer run or swim. Otis was greatly loved, and he loved us unconditionally in return. He lived to a ripe old age of 14 and half years.
Otis sounds wonderful. It's hard losing a cherished pet. I miss my dog Jessie. She lived a good long life too, and she was one of the best dogs I've ever known.
ReplyDeleteWe do love them
DeleteI'm sorry! Furry friends just don't live long enough. He was a great member of your family.
ReplyDeleteHe was.
DeleteAww! Otis sounded like a wonderful dog. I'm sure you gave him a great fourteen and a half years.
ReplyDeleteI think we did.
DeleteAww, I'm so sorry. I'm glad Otis had such a wonderful life with you and your family. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie.
DeleteI"m so sorry, Cathrina. I know how sad it is to lose your pet. No one can take away the memories he gave you. You gave him a beautiful life and he loved it as much as you did.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deanie
DeleteI'm sorry Otis had to go. He sounds like an amazing pet. Glad you have many memories to cherish!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI'm so sorry you lost Otis. He sounds like a wonderful dog and perfect for your family. At least you have fond memories and great pics to remember him by. :)
ReplyDeleteIt always hurts to lose a dog you love. Sending sympathy and hugs your way.
ReplyDeleteThey bring so much into our lives and expect so little in return. It sounds like Otis had a great and happy as well as a long life with you and you know you'll never forget him. When they go it is such a loss so my thoughts are with you. Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteSo sorry about the loss of Otis. Losing a pet always hurts so much. Celebrating his life is a wonderful thing to do. He'll live on in your hearts forever.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say goodbye to a pet. We lost our dog, Cezar, after 15 years, and we still miss him.
