A beautiful tribute to your Kirby. In response to NateDog above, to many of us, they are our children. Your comment was cruel and you should have gone on your merry way without leaving your opinion. Just because you don’t understand doesn’t make you right.

To Michael and Amy, I’m so sorry for your loss. He was lucky to have been so loved.

Wow! I finally felt like I could read all of these comments and I am so thankful to all of you that shared your love for your pets with us. I am sad that Natalie will never meet Kirby because they would have loved each other. Kirby was always so patient with children. I still think about him everyday and find myself listening/looking for him. I think Sally our basset-whippet is still wondering what happened to her playmate. Thank you again!

Wow, stumbled across this blog, saw bassets, read a littl emore, found this entry. Typing this comment through tears. I know how you feel.

I will not own another dog ever again unless it’s a basset – I’ve tried and it is simply not the same. The hurt you feel in your heart will dull in time, but the love will always be there. Treasure it!!

I lost my Cleo (Lady Lollipop Longears, according to the AKC) like 15 years ago, and I’m stunned at how much emotion seeing your pictures and reading your blog entry brought forth. I’m gonna go hug my cat.

seriously… you would think these animals are humans… they are dogs… they aren’t kids, they aren’t human…. I am a long time owner of dogs and treat my dogs very well, but they will always be pets and for someone in earlier posts to act like it is something more or that God was disapprove of you putting your sick pet to sleep is idiotic. PETA has seriously brainwashed way too many people…

The tribute film was wonderful but I really got a kick out of the video of Kirby in his snow boots. What a sweet, funny memory.

You ass! You made me cry at work, your tribute was so beautiful. I am a huge animal lover and what you did wasn’t easy by a long shot, but was the right thing to so. The IZ song expecially hit me as it was the first song played at my best friend’s mother’s memorial….very touching.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I know personally the void losing a cherished pet leaves, especially a rescue pet, they seem to be so much more loving to people who actually love them. I rescued a pug at 6 months and had to have her put down at 15 years due to uncontrollable diabetes. I cried for days and still think of her daily and she has been gone for more than five years now. My children still remember her in their prayers. I can tell that you loved Kirby as much as we loved Rockie-Sue and can tell you that he will always be in your heart. You will have wonderful stories to share with that beautiful baby girl when she is old enough to share all the pictures and memories of Kirby. He will never truly leave you for he will always live in your heart.
