Some of you may know of my dog, River. Some have even met him. Well, the Grim Reaper came calling, so I had to send him to sleep tonight. We went through a lot together in 12 years, including those years in Spain where we had a lot of time to play in the hills and snuggle by the fire on chilly nights.

He was a very special dog and I will never be quite the same person without him. So, a toast to River. The biggest, stupidest, softest Ridgeback in the whole World.

My condolences Simon.

"Old men miss many dogs" - is a favorite quote of mine from losing some of my own.

Best Regards,
Jeff



Ron.M -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 6 2011 20:17:29)

Ach...Simon,

I feel so sad for you. I know that pain.

My own beloved Lab ended her days at 11.

We're all headed for that Country eventually, if that's any help.

Nobody ever gets left behind.

Ron



Doitsujin -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 6 2011 20:21:28)

Oh man thats sad.. my condolences!

But he had a good life right.. ? So ..12 years is a good age. I guess he was happy all the time. I think I remember you taped your buddy in a video where you played in the background very nice classical guitar music by villa lobos.



Leendert -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 6 2011 20:45:14)

Sorry to hear. I'm a big lover of dogs as well and I can only imagine how it must hurt.
Wish you strength in this hard time.
But like I read in other comments as well, you should have a ton of beautiful memories which I hope you will cherish!

Ailsa -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 6 2011 21:57:15)

I remember River from our visit to your place in Spain. He was a really friendly dog, full of enthusiastic energy. I'm sure he'll be missed.



Pgh_flamenco -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 6 2011 22:07:05)

Sorry to hear this, Simon. What a way to start the new year...



gerundino63 -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 6 2011 23:09:21)

Sorry to hear that Simon, my thoughts are with you.
I will never forget him, alltough i only saw him on a video from you.
Never heared of a ridgback before, but if I ever take a dog, it will be a Ridgeback. Such a beautifull and sympathic dog...



Kate -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 7 2011 0:51:34)

I am so sorry to hear that Simon. River was a wonderful dog and that's a fantastic pic you posted. Just as I remember him. How very sad.

cathulu -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 7 2011 4:50:16)

Very sorry to hear that and my condolences. My Airedale is 7 years old, I hope I get a lot more years out of her. It will be very sad in our family when she passes, so I think I know what you are going through.



malakka -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 7 2011 5:28:50)

My condolences to you, Simon. I remember those pictures and videos of him in Andalucia in the fields and the canal. River sure seemed like a great dog! My neighbor has a ridgeback, great dog as well.

Cheers to River and to your life together!

Sorry to hear about your loss Simon.



aarongreen -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 8 2011 12:47:56)

Simon,
Deepest condolences. It's the hardest aspect of being friends with a critter, but it's still one of the greatest relationships a person can have. I'm sure River had a great life.

Richard Jernigan -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 8 2011 17:06:54)

We come to love them so. They set such an example, bringing out the best in us. You are fortunate to have had such a great friend. The pain will pass. The good memories will not.

CarloJuan -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 9 2011 4:13:24)

Hello Simon, don't worry it'll all come to pass. my condolences. pets are indeed gifts from the Almighty.

They don't exasperate, bicker or pester us like some women do. [:D]

Cheers m8



Ruphus -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 9 2011 14:38:53)

Without empathy for fellow creatures there is no true empathy and human being.
My condolences!

( Though wished eversince, never had the conditions for appropriate keeping of a dog, but for cats. My tomcat now getting old I can´t even think of how to get through, the day if he wouldn´t be around anymore.
He will be 14 in spring with the time having passed by in a blink.)

The serious drawback with pets is the short period they live.

Wish you best,

Ruphus



alaskaal -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 10 2011 6:52:28)

I am so sorry for your loss.

henrym3483 -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 10 2011 19:33:50)

sorry about your loss simon, i miss my poor little pet ferretts every day. they really were such smart and fun little pets. aint suffered the loss of a dog yet.



prd1 -> RE: My dog River died tonight (Jan. 10 2011 20:17:31)

Simon,

I'm so sorry to read about the loss of such a special companion - I only met him once when you guys visited Stephen Hill in La Herradurra about 5 years ago to check out a bar that was available for rent (I was a student of his at the time). I have since lost both of my Retrievers at 15 and 16 years old - I've now got a labradoodle, she's special, as were the other two, she lives alongside their memories and not as a replacement.

If you ever get another dog I hope it is loved as much as River...

My condolences,

Peter the Geordie
