This is, without any doubt, the hardest description I have ever had to write in my life.

It is hard to think that exactly 1 month ago today I took this photo of Klaus as he was enjoying a lazy evening at Chatfield State Park soaking up the sunlight & watching the Deer play.....

Yesterday at 1:35pm MST Klaus crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. I will miss him more than I can ever say and right now I have a very big piece of me missing from my heart. As I write this, tears are swelling up in my eyes. I did the right thing though, he took a very bad turn for the worst last week. He had a great life at lived to be almost 13. He entered my life at a time of great turbulence and uncertainty and has been through so much with me. From my divorce to when my Dad had a heart attack and stroke, there was always Klaus (or "Klauser" or "Poocher" as I called him) ready to take care of me.

It has been very hard since the vet was in my home. I watched him as he went, talking with him the whole time and when I was alone with him before he went, I told him he was free to go and that I release him. I kept some of his hair and thanks to help from ~osagelady I am having him cremated. After all, he was a part of Judy's life too and I owe her a lot for being there for me.

I miss you buddy and I love you greatly. Thank you for letting me have the honor of you coming into my life and experiencing love in ways I can not describe. You were the best dog. Bye my friend......I'll see you on the other side. I love you.

It's really sad when you lose a pet. I lost my German Shephard, Rover 6 yrs ago and it still hurts. He was my best friend for 10yrs. So I more or less know what you must have gone through. May his soul rest in peace.

thank you very much.
I do have a new pooch who came into my life very unexpectedly almost a month to the date after Klaus passed and he has helped me ease the pain a lot. I still miss Klaus a lot though and I always will.

So sorry to read this. Fortunately, the loving memories outlast the pain and shock of the loss.
Sorry for your loss.

Wow, I don't think words could even describe how you feel man. But the pictures of him speak louder, I'm sure. I am so sorry for the loss! :( People don't understand that animals weren't created to be just pets. They're much more than that. My Ziggy is the world to me. He's been there for me when no one else has. Not one person can truly understand the connection and bond that an owner and his little buddy has. It's completely indescribable. I think you're very strong for posting his pictures on here, he's absolutely beautiful. He had to of had a great life to of been paired up with such a loving owner :)

I am so sorry for your loss. Its so hard to lose a pet that was so close to you, because they are indeed family.
I know exactly how you feel, I just lost my husky, who was almost 13 too :( Who knows, maybe him and Klaus are having a good romp together :)

i'm really sorry... i exactly know how you feel. i felt the same when my dog passed away.. he was my best friend, always there keeping me happy just with a look, with his will to play and be happy in change of... nearly nothing. dogs are awesome like that. next month it will be four years that he's gone... and i still miss him and cry at times, as we nearly grew up together.
but still i know that he feels better now, and one day we'll meet again and start again run and play... and i'm sure you and klaus will do the same.
my condolences.
