Aww, rest easy, Buddy. Run free in heaven’s pastures, friend. Say hi to my dear Pomeranian, Mocha, for me.

It's so hard to lose our fur babies. 🙁 I've been through it too and know how you feel. Thanks for your story. ❤️

Not sure why the universe dropped this into my lap today but I’m glad it did. Condolences regarding Eddy. But I’m glad I found another writer / dog lover / Wisconsinite.

Someone wise said “Dogs are such agreeable friends. They ask no questions. They pass no criticisms.” Saying goodbye is so hard. Eddy looks like a sweetie.

My condolences, Sean. We said goodbye to our 17-year-old Izzy the day after Christmas. She ate half of a Hershey’s bar, and then we held her until the end. Brutal.

Oh Eddy the Wondermutt, you were the goodest doggo, and clearly, you were her person. What a beautiful tribute to a loyal, loving, family member. My deepest condolences to the whole family.

My condolences. I've had a few dogs in life and you made me think back to them all, all the way to my childhood. The memories make me smile and even laugh. Dogs can be downright funny. I'm glad you had a good experience.

I am so sorry, Sean. And I’ve got tears in my eyes now, dang it. Eddy obviously was a gift to you and your family, and now runs in summer green fields under blue skies with all other loved dogs—my own among them— that have gone over. Peace.

Aw Eddy - I am so sorry to hear this. Pets are the best parts of being on this big 'ol rock and it sounds like you all had one of the best.
