My baby Sabu is gone

[Sabu's mom]

Hello, everyone. I just posted a couple of days ago about losing our baby Sabu last weekend.

Just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for all the thoughtful replies. While it is difficult, it is also very comforting to hear from others who have shared their love and lives with a rottie. The love of any pet is special, but I feel in my heart that our rottweilers have a special, goofy personality all their own. They are such huge and intimidating looking dogs to the outsider, but, as we all know, they are just big, lovable babies.

I am hoping with time my heart will heal and missing Sab's little face will become a litte easier with each day. In the meantime, your kind words and thoughts give me hope. I also appreciate everyone's generosity in sharing thoughts and stories of their own babes, it means a lot. Best wishes to you all. ~ Kim

Kim, it takes a special person to truly understand these magnificient gentle souls...to love them...bond with them..and unfortunately lose them. I truly am sorry for your loss of Sabu. The place they hold in our hearts is not understood by all..but know in comfort you did all that was right by Sabu and his love for you is eternal..he will remain in your heart and thoughts forever and has contributed to making you who you are..stay strong in his memory and be the kind of person he knew you to be. Again, so sorry for your loss...fly free Sabu....Tina

I am so sorry for your loss - many people here have felt your pain.

I had to come back to this post because the first two times I read it, I started crying. I am so sorry for your loss. The pain is hard, the feeling of loss sometimes feels unbearable. You have come to the right place because all of us here can understand your feelings and what you are going through. The bond we have with our dogs is so strong that when losing them, it's like losing a family member. They give us unconditional love and are there for us during all of our hard times. Please take the time and grieve - and all the crying you are doing is OK. I cried for weeks after losing Talon. I still cry. But what better way can we show our devotion and love for them, if we don't let ourselves grieve the loss.

Please take care. I know it's hard, but it will be ok.

That says it perfectly, I'm so sorry for your loss, it's obvious from your post what a special relationship you had and I know how your mom feels, my mother would get that way with all of our dogs as well.

I lost a girl I'd only had for 6 months to a blood disease, I didn't think I'd get over her as she was my heart dog - But when I looked in her eyes and saw how tired she was and it was obvious she was telling me it was time, I cried like a baby for days, I still do when I think of her and it's been about 4 years.

Once you have been loved by a Rottie, it's hard to not have one in your life.

Take it one day at a time and you and your mom can share the happy and funny moments..... then when you are ready Sabu will be watching you pick another Rottie to love.

You're in my prayers,

Kathy

KatMc said it best. He was your "Heart Dog". I called Sofie my "Heart and Soul". This breed truly does get in your heart, and Sabu will always be there in yours. I still cry for Sofie, and I lost her 7 months ago. But... it is a lot less frequent.

I pray that your pain is replaced by warm thoughts, so you can just think of him and smile.
