Pictures Good bye Major.

I am so sorry, my friend.

Run Free in the green fields of the Bridge, Major...

I was just thinking of you and Major last week, trying to figure out how to ride a bike with one of our dogs like you did with Major without biting the dust the second she sees a rabbit.

Major was a very special dog and was as lucky to have you and your dad as you were to have him. Such a good boy. Thank you for giving him an amazing 6 years of love and bike runs, even in the snow! God knows how much you both loved it and you're both crazy for that.

I'm so sorry to hear about Major. I can see the love between you absolutely shining out of those photos. It sounds like he had a fine 16 years with your family - no dog could have asked for more.

I will probably miss this the most. We did it for both our health. I can't even look at that bike.

I never taught him how to ride with the bike. He instinctively knew how to do this from day one. He crossed on the wrong side of a pole a couple times early on and got clothes lined. He never crossed on the wrong side again. He knew which side the leash was on at the time and would always make the right move.

I'm sorry for your loss of Major. Sometimes the hardest part of having companion animals is making the right decision for them even if it is heartbreaking to us. What our brains tell us doesn't jive with how our hearts feel, no matter what.

So hard to lose best friends...

OMG John. I am so sorry! Run free Major and know you are truly loved.

So sorry for your loss. I ended up crying looking at the photos. I lost my 18 year old border collie 7 years ago and he's a spitting image! I hope the pain starts to ease up for you. It is such a hard thing to go through

I am so very sorry

Today is one of the saddest days of my life. A big piece of me died today. I feel numb. We had to put down my best friend Major. He was 16 years old in November of 2018. Smartest most well behaved dog I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I was blessed to be given his charge the last 6 years of his life. We miss you already. Remembered always.

I am so sorry. He was beautiful and special.

 

[Love My Zons]

He was an amazing dog and for sure so meant to be yours after he lost his first Master. Border Collies will never cease to amaze me with their loyal bond and their crazy witty smarts!

He's running free JL and he truly loved you. Sorry again for your loss, I know it all too well.

I am very sorry for your loss

Just reading your comment on picking up the collar and still being able to smell him made me cry for you like a baby......I still have my old dogs t shirt (the kids used to love dressing her up so I bought her her very own dog tshirt), my daughter has it packed away and she got it out not long ago while doing a big clean up. That t-shirt still has a feint smell of Noodle from over ten years ago!
If the smell of Major's collar brings you comfort I would like to suggest you keep it in a sealed plastic bag so you can sniff it any time you feel you want to. I know some people think sniffing an item from a lost friend may be a little weird but I found it brought me so many memories I would not have otherwise thought about and those memories brought me great comfort.

I smelled it and burst into tears.

It's all good. It now hangs from the mirror in my truck. He will continue to come to work with me every day.
