Scruffy.

Yesterday our family dog died. Even though I wasn’t as close with Scruffy as my sister was and even though I don’t live at home anymore, he was my dog for over 10 years and I’m sad that he is gone.

Moko lost a friend too. Before we moved out of my parent’s house, they were pals.

    10 years is a long time for a dog, it’s like 70 years old. I’m sorry to hear Scruffy died. : (

    Awww Caity!!! I’m so sorry! *hugs* I know what it’s like to lose a pet. My first cat I had since I was 4 and I lost her when I was in the sophomore year of hihgschool. Anyway, I’m so sorry for your loss.

    I sympathise with you :( When I’d just finished year 11, the cat I’d had for my entire life died, and it was so saddening. I hope you’re all right!

    I’m so sorry, Caity! Losing a pet is like losing a family member. None of my pets have ever died, but one of my cats ran away, and I missed him terribly. Hugs to your family.

    I’m so sorry :( *hugs*

    I had a dream last night about Princess. She was there with my dead grandmas and a bunch of old people I didn’t know and she was jumping on me and kissing me and running in the snow. Buffy’s sick and I’d like to think this is Princess’ way of telling me Buffy’ll be OK even if it’s bad.

    Caitlin, Thank you so much for blogging about Scruffy! What you wrote is beautiful and very touching! It will mean so much to Corinne when I show her. QUESTION: I there any way that you can print this blog? You know me (low-tech)!! I have no idea if this is possible. If it is possible, would you mind printing it for Corinne? ALSO, one last favor . . . would you please print those two photos for Corinne to put in a frame? She’s been pretty devastated and I think this would help her a great deal. SORRY FOR ALL THE REQUESTS, and THANK YOU, in advance, for your help! I LOVE YOU! Love, MOM XOXO

    Hi Caity — thinking of you, and letting you know you are currently Friend Of The Day at the top of my sidebar. (I lifted one of your photos off Flicker to make your button.) Kelly says it’s her favorite button I’ve made yet.

    After I post “kommint” this I am off to peruse JoyChristin’s site to see what photo to use for her link button. The she will be in top spot. Your button will move down a spot a day on my sidebar, to drop off after 21 days, but then reappear in a re-cap post on my site!!

    And “mutch loves” from BB.

    xoxo

    Aww, Caity. It’s always a terrible thing when a family pet passes. :( I hope he lived a great & full-filling life!

    His eyes look so deep and soulful in the first photo. Very charming little guy.

    I am sorry to hear about your dog. He looked really cute on the photos. Rest in peace Scruffy.

  26. Damita July 27, 2010

    Sorry to hear that hun, so sad :(

  27. Katarina July 27, 2010

    Caity, I’m so sorry about Scruffy! I have had to put 2 dogs down, give away 3 birds, and put down a horse I’ve had for my entire life </3. I know what it's like to lose a pet, and how upsetting it can be. Even if you aren't that close to them. But it'll be okay :). I'm sure Scruffy is in a much better place now…wherever that is.

    Anyways, sorry I haven't been commenting lately. I've been busy, and just got a new domain, so I haven't really been commenting back to many people on my blogroll. So, hello again ♥.

  28. Ashley July 27, 2010

    Aww :( I’m sorry honey. I can’t imagine my dogs dying and I don’t want to. I mean I’ve had dogs die in the past that I was extremely close to. For me it’s really hard losing a pet. Especially, ones you’re close to. :(

  29. Becca July 27, 2010

    :( Very cute puppy dog.

    R.I.P.

  30. Olivia H. July 27, 2010

    Wow, sorry to hear about Scruffy. He was adorable.

  31. Julie July 29, 2010

    I’m so sorry to hear about your dog. We lost one of our family dogs on Tuesday, so I know all too well how you feel. He was 15 and a half.. a little black cocker spaniel. :( I miss him dearly.

  32. Nichola July 30, 2010

    Oh no, im so sorry about your dog. Its awful when family pets die :( xx

  33. Felisa August 1, 2010

    I’m sorry about your loss :( Hope you and the rest of your family are ok…

  34. Georgina August 1, 2010

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. *hugs* I am sure you have good memories, and you can tell Scruffy was very, very loved. <3

    My old dog Abby passed away a few years back of cancer in her throat/neck area and it was just devastating because I was close to her. I seem to get more choked up over animals then anything else it seems.

  36. Sara August 5, 2010

    Caity,

    Losing a family pet is like losing a person. I had dogs, cats and horses for most of my life. It’s been hard when they’ve died…

    My dog is now 15-years-old and blind, but she still gets around. I don’t know what my cat, Aggie, will do when the dog passes. It’s amazing how animals, who normally would not be friends, can be friends when they live together.

    I am sorry for your loss and your family’s loss.

    Awww such a cute pooch! :D
