I Lost My Best Friend Today

Jim Wahl · 07-23-2014, 09:52 PM

I lost my best friend today. Eight months after being diagnosed with bone cancer Brody, my 13 year old Chocolate Lab passed away today in my arms. After being given two months to live back in December, Brody fought the good fight until today. Brody is now out of pain and has joined his older brother Hershey in heaven running and jumping as he did when he was younger. I am devastated. I love you Brody and Hershey, two of the best race dogs anyone could ask for. Thanks to all of you who have asked about Brody since he became ill. Jim

Sorry to hear this Mr Jim, I also have a Chocolate and she is my first born of almost 12 years. She is a member of our family and I dread the day she leaves this world, so I know how you must feel. My condolences.

Jim,
I just want to say I am sorry for your loss. Brody was a great race dog, and it was evident you and he had fun together.
Just think of the good times you had.

Very sorry about your loss. I am the proud owner of 2 Siamese cats who are just like members of my family; I love them more than anyone except my wife, so I know how you feel.

I'm so sorry, Jim. I don't think there has been a single time that I've seen a picture of a Chocolate Lab and NOT thought of you and Brody. I've tried to share as many of them with you as I could. I really wish there was something I could say to make the pain go away, but of course there aren't any magic words like that. Each of us that has lost a "forever friend" know what you're feeling now, and in time the hurt lessens, and the wonderful memories will last until you're together again.
