This morning, 11/20/2012 at 7:30AM, my companion and one of the best friends I ever knew passed on.
Tractor was someone I could always count on. Not to say that many people on here don't do the same, he's just the one I could always go to, talk to and lounge with anytime I wanted. He was here with me.
These past few months have been brutal on me and this was just another stab to me. Tractor, in a sense, has been a pillar for me through certainly hard times: MY step-father has been diagnosed with a serious case of fungal meningitis and he's very lucky to be alive. For how long, the Doctors say he may have a few years left. We're losing the house I'm living because he's been unable to work and I haven't been able to get enough hours at work... It's just been crushing me and I've really needed someone here, in the flesh to be there for me.
I could go to Tractor when I needed to be comforted.
However, I never will forget the times we had. He was an amazing dog and lived a good, full life. I spent his last moments with him. I slept beside him when I knew he was going. I kept him close told him it was okay to go. That I would be okay.
In the morning I hugged him before getting ready for my nursing class, I gave him a kiss and went upstairs. My mom went with (She was visiting and had just got their on Monday.) to get dressed for her day.
I went back down and he was gone. In the span of five minutes he had passed. He probably thought I had gone to school like I always did. That things would be okay. That he could pass.
And he did. Skies... I miss him... But I know I'll be seeing him at the Rainbow Bridge someday.

Sorry for sad-stuff, friends.

Jeezus.... I am sorry for the troubles that have befallen you, and to lose your one pillar of strength. I know mere words can never truly help the pain, only time and even than it will forever hurt. Just know, even if he may be gone in the flesh, he is still there for you, never forgotten as long as you have him in your heart.
Dogs have such pure souls and loyal personalities...I am so truly sorry, Chaz. I'm sure somewhere up there he's romping around in the biggest of all pastures doing his favorite things and knowing that despite whatever troubles do come your way...his master...his best friend on two legs...will always be okay. I'm sure he knows that you do have people around you that will watch over you, and that his own friendship to you might have left you with that spark, that thing that you can hold onto and remember when things are at the very bleakest...that you will be okay. Everything has to go up after going down so far after a while.
He'll always be in your heart buddy, and you will always be in his. It's hard losing a friend like that... Hang in there, Chaz...

I'm so terribly sorry.
Just over a year and a month ago, I lost mine... Just about the only friend I had through most of my life. I know how hard it is. I know how hard it was that I couldn't be there for him. I'm glad you were able to be there for Tractor. It's still hard, but I hope it was, in a way, comforting for you both.
You know what he'll want you to do, though. Keep trucking on, and keep your good friends close.

Condolences, I wish I could say something that didn't sound so generic, but I'll just say this: Every pet we take into our homes is unique, nothing can replace them. Having to deal with losing someone that means so much to you is never an easy nor welcome event. But you comforted him in his final hours, you stayed with him (some non-human companions are not so fortunate to pass amongst loved ones.). I'm sure that he appreciates your loyalty, just as you did his. Take solace in that fact, that's really all I can offer for advice. Whenever you look at a picture of him, or think of him. Remember that you were a good friend to him, and wherever he is, he is surely thinking the same.
