The Blueberry Is On Her Way
Written by Michael on September 15th, 2009Amy and I arrived at the hospital around 5 pm last night for inducement and she’s been making slow progress since then. She’s been handling the pain incredibly well but anxious to get this over and hold our new baby girl.

Hope Blueberry and Mom made it OK. Congratulations for that but this is really about Kirby Buckingham. I watched as much of the video as I could, but was starting to tear up. We have cats, not doggies, but the feelings are the same. I did what you did with Puff, a nice, pitchblack cat, who had feline lukemia. He was in pain so we did it, but I said never again unless they were really hurting. We cried and cried. So ever since then all of ours have passed away peacefully at home – The Worm lay down in tha grass in the back yard, Chelsie under the piano, Felix in his favorite bed, Bitsie under the living room table when we were at Uncle Leo’s farm after Hurricane Katrina, and Tom in his favorite place on the couch.
We know what you felt, and just typing this has me crying.

Kirby was blessed to be so loved.
What a heartbreak and an absolutely beautiful tribute to Kirby. As a cat owner I have had to make that final journey with my friends. It never gets easier and each time I think I can never do it again………..until I am called upon to rescue another new soft friend. I wish you well, I wish you peace.
PS – What is the music you used on Kirby’s video “somewhere over the rainbow?” I loved it.
Thanks

I stumbled upon your tribute to Kirby and you’ve taken my heart and ground it into a big mush ball of tears. I haven’t cried like this in years. It brought me back to all of my own wonderful dogs that we’ve had to take to the vet for the same thing over the years, but especially to my deceased father’s last dog, Bonnie. My father past away about 5 years ago but Bonnie hung in there with my mother until this summer. She looked exactly like Kirby. And she loved my dad, (also my mom), so so much.
Of course, your choice of music couldn’t have been better. And you have so many lovely pictures to remember your loved ones with.
My list of blessed friends include Dakota, Timber, Sootie, Dandy, Reba, Fluufy, Serena and many more.
Your tribute made me remember to take more time with my current best friends, Lilly and Milo. Thanks for a beatiful job and also thank you for the Doggy in inside the computer video, which a friend sent me. That is what brought me to your site.

I just came to your site and read about Kirby. My husband and I had, pretty much, the same experience with our doggie-child, Ribbons. She had a horrible cancer and I held her in my arms until she was gone. She was our best friend for 15 years and, on 10/01/2007, we had to let her move on. We still speak of her daily. We are blessed to still have our other doggie, Tippy-Pearl, who is almost 11 but we will never forget Ribbons and all the love she gave us. We’re better people for having known and loved her.

How fortunate you were to have had time with each other. Beautifully done. So very painful. I understand…
