Saying Goodbye

Last week, it was time for the real Hoot to cross Rainbow Bridge. He now joins the real Annie, who crossed that bridge in September 2016. Hoot has had health issues for the past 2 years, but really went down hill fast in just the last week or so. He was over 15, as was Annie at the end, and it was time.

I need to change my screen name, but don't know how to do that.

This was Annie when we still lived in Ohio

This is Hoot at about 10 weeks old (also Ohio)

And this was Hoot while we still lived on the Big Island

sorry about your loss---i had to have 2 0f mine put down several years ago---dollie and rob--dollie went blind and rob went into kidney failure---it was hard to take
 
My condolences for your loss, I remember back when you had to say goodbye to your Annie, rest peacefully little Hoot.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
It can be unbelievably difficult.
Some people are closer to their pets than their own children.
I don’t think you can change your user name but best ask the moderators that
 
I can sympathize, and understand. We had a miniature poodle for over 15 years, and he was almost like our 3rd child. One of my worst days was the final time I took him to the vet, and there was nothing to be done to reduce his pain and misery. To this day, we cannot bring ourselves to get another pet. We do, however, have an almost daily visitor...the neighbors great little beagle, who comes over to nap on our porch nearly every day while they are at work.
 
And as you can see, I will now be know as "Buckeye". Hoot and Annie were both cremated, as was my second wife, and I will be too when that day comes. My son and/or grandsons are charged with mixing our ashes together and putting us in the ocean at the Punalu'u Black Sand Beach on the Big Island.

All dogs go to heaven.

Thanks to all

Oh my goodness. You got your name changed without needing a new account.
Thats fabulous Buckeye.
Here’s a nice poem I wrote out in a thread here but it won’t let me copy it so I found it in an image online.
I hope this shows up for you to read. It’s so very moving and will probably make you cry but it’s a good cry.
