Sully

Just wanted to let everyone know that we lost Sully on Tuesday, 2/25/14, at the age of three. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever been through and my world will never be the same. Speaking for myself on behalf of my family, Sully wasn't just a pet- he became my best friend. He helped me do things and meet people and go places that I never would have experienced without him. He came into my life at a time when I needed him- I cant even explain- but he was my grace when I desperately needed it. Someone that I ran into that also lost their pet to lymphoma told me- if he did these things, and you changed from him, then he came to do his job and his job is done. I cant help but say that I feel cheated- I only had less than two years with him and I wanted him longer than that. But, life doesn't always give us what we want. So I'm trying to learn to live life without him here and it is hard. I've lost other pets before but I've never lost a Newf and I've never lost someone or something so young. He was so young and so so beautiful. When I walked out of our vet's office the other day- after Sully passed- the sky opened up and snowflakes started to gently fall down on my face- slowly and softly they melted as they touched my cheeks- and it snowed for just a brief minute and then stopped. Sully wanted snow- he laid in it the past few weeks as he was dying. No matter what you believe- that snow was sent for me- from him. I wish I could say that I feel Sully all around me now- but I don't- his presence was huge- his heart was bursting and his personality was priceless- he is gone and we will miss him- life on Tuesday changed for us and things will never be the same. Sorry to end this on such a sad note/tone, but its all I can feel right now. Thanks for all of your prayers and support the past few weeks....and remember too, in the quest to keep these gentle giants for as long as you can- give them a French fry every now and then- life is too short not to really let them live.

Strange, but I was just looking for a Sully update even though it's not the update I wanted to see. Thank you so much for sharing Sully with us and I feel just horrible and so very sorry for your loss. Dogspeed sweet Sully. From now on whenever it flurries, I'll think of you.

Tears for your pup whom I never met. His photos were stunning, I can only imagine what a cherished dog he became in his three short years with you. We all understand the special bond we have with Newfs in particular and all of our hearts break for you and with you. They take up so much space both literally and in our hearts. So, so sorry for your loss.

Sorry doesn't seem adequate, he was a beautiful guy and I loved the pics of him. Life is so unfair at times, he was so young. He will be with you in spirit for ever and keep hold of all the wonderful times. Hugs.

I'll never forget when I first met Sully. It was at the Boyertown pool. They were closing for the season, but opened their pool to dogs to raise money for their maintenance fees. I've never seen so many happy, excited dogs before. Then I saw Sully's family arrive and put their stuff on the lawn. All of a sudden Sully realized there was water. He ran for the pool dragging Dave ( a very big man) who was caught off guard. Sully just dove right in the pool. He swam and swam with his family while Kris and I talked. I was shocked that even a Newf could swim that long. You could tell he loved swimming. I'm so glad I convinced Kris to bring him to the Ocean City get together. He got to swim in the ocean with Millie and greet lots of Newfs. Sully was so funny to watch when he greeted a dog...happy go lucky total trust that all dogs would like him and want to play!
I would like to add that I think Sully's legacy is my friendship with Kris and Chumley's therapy work in the future...none of which would have happened without him. I'll miss Sully.
