February 10, 2008          Today, I Helped a Friend Go Home (In loving memory of Oliver)
Today, I helped a friend go home and set him free of his pain.  My friend was a devoted friend, a member of my life for the past 14 years.  A member of our family, loved by friends, and now missed by many.  A loving friend, who always was there to greet you with a welcome, a welcome only he could express, with his face and devotion to me, to us.......  Everyday, my friend loved me, unconditionally, no matter how I felt, no matter what I said, no matter what the day was like.  When I came home, he was there, happy to see me, with his warm ways, tender nudge, and loving face.

Oliver Del Sol was the light in my life, for over 14 years.  He loved many, and when he was a pup, someone said to me, "Someday, he will break your heart"....  Today was that day, a day of reckoning, a day when all pain ended, for him, but not for me. Mine has just started, but knowing he is free of his pain, makes it OK for me, but not better.   My heart is full, knowing God allowed him to spend his days with me, bringing me joy and love, unconditionally everyday.  I will miss my Yellow Labrador Retriever, all the remaining days of my life.  He was a loving, devoted partner, friend and loyal companion.

Oliver Del Sol has left this earth, this life, my life, our life. He is gone, but will remain in my heart always.  And when the Lord takes me home, I have asked Him to allow me to have my Yellow Labrador with me, for eternity, forever.  I pray He grants me that prayer and I look forward to the day, when I leave, and go home, and he runs to me a new, with a leap of joy and love, with his warm nose and amber eyes, bright and beautiful for me, with me, forever and ever...............

Broken hearted,

January 7, 2009  -  (In loving memory of Shane)
Tonight, we are spending precious moments with our dear devoted friend.....

It´s the night before the day, that I must euthanize my friend and companion Shane, our black Labrador Retriever.  Shane has been with us for over 11 years.  He has always been the quiet type, loving, watching and protecting.  Recently, even when he was feeling bad, we took him outside in the front yard with the two new Labrador pups, Tucker & Elliott. They, being 6 months at the time were frolicking in the yard, when all of a sudden, Shane, went growling and running down the driveway, as a coyote ran off from the bushes.  It seems the coyote was stalking the pups, when Shane, arthritis and all, chased him away.  He was guarding the new pups, as a big brother would do.   

Out of all the Labradors thus far that I have owned, Shane has been the most gentle, caring, loving and giving of all my Labradors.  Tonight, his sickness has gotten the best of him, and he has let us know, he wants to join his brother Oliver and Uncle Durango wherever it may be, that our Lord allows them to go and wait for us when they fall asleep.

In the morning we will take him to help him on his way.  It will be hard; however, we are the responsible masters, as he does not want to leave us.  In Shane´s mind, he must stay to guard and protect, even when his body is shutting down.  So, as we spend precious moments with him tonight, tomorrow, my heart will be broken once again, as I still hear those haunting words of a friend who said to me so long ago, "Someday, he will break your heart."

Broken hearted again,

Bob Angilella
