The Sisko Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 You all may have noticed that I haven't been around much for a while. That's because in addition to having several family members hospitalized and/or operated on during that time, I also had to have my dog put to sleep last week. Sinbad was a dearly loved member of our family and will be sorely missed. I have created a memorial for him at: http://Sinbad01.critters.com Please feel free to peruse his site and see, at least in part, why we loved him so much.

Ghost of Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Yusuf. It's not an easy thing to deal with, losing family. Maybe you'll see him on the other side, though you might want to bring a treat or pretend to be chased, right? RIP Sinbad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th Commandment Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 That was beautiful man. Sadly, I'm going to be in the same situation with my girl Tanner this week. I hope I can remember her so eloquently. One of life's greatest shames is that our animals can't live as long as we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUforREDSKINS Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 My dog was put to sleep last year. It was for the best. She was so old and miserable she couldn't make it up the stairs anymore. I miss her so much since I was the one who convinced my parents to adopt her when I was in 3rd grade. Be tough bro, I know im trying. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitity Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Losing a dog is always tough. When I was 18 he had to put our dog to sleep, he was 17, so he was around for as long as I could remember at that point. It was pretty sad for me and my dad. Life will go on, Sinbad was lucky to have someone to care about him as much as you did. Just as you'll never forget the difference the dog made in your life, you should know just how huge of a difference you made in his life. I hope things go well for the rest of your family as well, stay strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins4life234 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Sorry to hear. It is tough and have had to go through that twice, it is hard on people, and can also be hard on any other dogs in the household too. When we had to put to sleep Mookie, our first dog, the vet told us to bring her home and a little cardboard casket and let the others dogs sniff it so they know their sister has passed. Our other dogs, Lucky and Allie were very saddened too, not being as active and mopping around like the rest of us. I think it took Lucky the hardest of everyone in the house to move on. Its sad to loose a dog, but just put a few pictures up on the fridge and think of the good times you had with the dog. Eventually you'll be alright and whenever you pass those pictures, you'll be able to smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drums and skins Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I can't even imagine what you're going through. My family got a yorkie 3 years ago...the first family pet. I just can't imagine losing her either. Stay strong and sorry for your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jofizz Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 It's hard not too read your tribute and not tear up. I have a Jack Russel that's getting close to 11, and I can't ever imagine my life without him in it. Sorry for your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 This is my favorite comedian George Carlin on dogs. He is doglover and talks about his dogs a lot. By the way, very nice tribute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneBoost Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Sorry to hear about that, I know how hard that is, had to do that to my first dog when I was 10, such a bad part of my life, losing your best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamB Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I am sorry for your loss. Losing a 4 legged member of one's family is always hard, especially when it is up to us to make that final decesion. After reading your memorial page, it is clear that your life was made much richer for having known Sinbad. Also, I hope all is well with your family and I wish them a speedy recovery.

DCsportsfan53 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 So sorry to hear this. That was a beautiful tribute. It's obvious to see he was well loved and had a good life. RIP Sinbad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desioreo87 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 One of the most beautiful dogs i have ever seen. I am truly sorry for your loss. Sinbad must have been an amazing dog. I also put my cat to sleep 3 years ago. If she were alie today she would be 23 as you can tell she was older than me and she had been there from my birth through high school. She always slept on my bed next to my head like a guardian angel. Pets are so tough to lose because they are such innocent creatures who provide nothing but unconditional love and happiness, its as if they deserve to live forever at least its how i feel in my heart.

squatch66 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 yusuf what an amazing tribute to a very special friend. it made me tear up to read that. i lost one of mine last year and felt as if i had lost a child. in this time of dogfighting and it is only an animal attitudes i truly feel sorry for someone who lives their life without the love of an animal. their lives are that much more empty because they will never experience the joy of looking into the eyes of their pets and seeing the love in them.
