I lost my best friend this week- in memory of Tasker
I didn't think I'd ever be writing this. At least not this soon. Two days ago, I lost my best friend, my not-quite 2yr old yellow lab, Tasker. We were on vacation in the Virgin Islands when our house sitter came home from work and found him passed away, laying down in peace in the backyard. The vet's prognosis was that he died from some sort of anuerysm, and the hemmoraging is what killed him. I'd like to think that he and his brother got lots of good play time in before he died Thursday afternoon, and he layed down to rest and just never woke up. The last few days have been the hardest of my life- I've never lost a person or pet this close to me. We did everything together- hiked, played, walked, swam, snowshoed... he was there all the time. And now, its just my girlfriend and I and our other lab, Yoshi, who's lost without his big brother.
I'm sorry if this is coming off as a sob story, but I know there are a lot of people on this board who have lost loved pets as well, and I was hoping I could get some words of kindness, and some reassuring that everything is going to be OK. Everywhere I look in our house, there's something that reminds me of Tasker. I just can't believe he's not here. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of him over the last year.
We'll always remember you buddy, and I'll miss you forever.
