Arlington (Arlie) died in Greg and my arms this morning at 11:05EST. We held him close all the while telling him how much we loved him. Arlie has taught us so very much. He taught us how to be parents for when our human babies came along, he taught our children how to be kind and loving to animals, and most of all he taught us that the loyalty of a dog truly is first and foremost.
Oh Arlie, our hearts hurt and please watch over us on that rainbow bridge. I will post more later but for now we are regrouping with this major loss.
Love and paws,
Andrea and Arlie

ReplyDeleteRest in peace, Arlington Bear. You leave behind a family whose lives are so much richer for having had you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. We are all so blessed to have such wonderful pets. They teach us so much. Stumbled upon your blog through FB (Smeraglia's page). We have two doodles from them. We lost our Saint Bernard baby, Cleo, several years ago. She suddenly turned up sick in our yard in the middle of the night and we had to make the best decision we could with a 24 hour emergency vet we did not know. There are so many blessings in Arlie's story. I know he was so loved and will be missed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tribute to Arlie. We also have a baby fighting this fight. We are two months in...still undergoing chemo...still in denial. Bless you for all you did for your furry family member.
