Such a wonderful and loving tribute to a wonderful boy! You all were blessed to have found each other...tears flowing reading your words then turned to laughter seeing the wonderful world of White...he was a character and so darn cute!! Loved all of the pictures you picked for his tribute...it is so very hard to say goodbye to these glorious creatures that God blessed us with...it has been almost a year since our Dexter went to the bridge and we still cry when we talk of him...but as the song says "I would have missed the dance" and that would be even sadder! Big hugs to you and Allison!

What a magnificent tribute to a glorious Newf. My heart is aching and tears are falling. I would give anything to bring him back to you, as I would to bring them all back. I am so achingly sorry for your loss.
Oh NO! I'm so very sorry to hear this. What lovely memories you shared of White. I know the feeling of the passing of that special era in your life. It seems like the holes they leave are too large to ever be completely filled again. I hope your hearts mend in time and that you are left with only those wonderful memories of two beautiful souls.

I am so very sorry for you both Jeff...you guys were so awesome for Black and White....they were so lucky to be with you and now you will miss them both....White will be greeted by Black and they will be that one unit again.....And you will meet all again, i am sure of that. I hope that one day you can smile at the memories again. i loved their pictures and adventures on NN..a great part of NN :hugs: Ronnie
The reputable breeder he came from wouldn't be in New York State, would they? I ask because White looks a LOT like my first Newf, Zeus. And I'm not just talking about the Blaze. White's head shape is VERY, VERY similar...
I'm asking because I may have had a dog that was related...

I can't read this yet Jeff.. But I will.. for now you need to know my love and prayers are with you. When I am stronger and don't want a crying jag after night shift. I will thoughtfully read.. look at the pictures and .. well yes cry buckets.. We will spend some time together at Newfstock.. You can help babysit Bear and Sandra's gorilla pup Coleridge. One old.. One young.. but both I think will help heal....

Hi everyone. It's been a little over a week now and I want to say a great big thank you to all of you for all your kind and supportive words, both here and in the PM's I have received. The support has been extremely helpful! I truly appreciate the understanding from all of you. You all know the special bond we share with these incredible creatures and most of you also understand what it is like to lose them. That means so much! Again, thank you. It has been a tough week but we are managing - the grief kind of comes in waves.
I also wanted to share that we now have White's ashes back. He's been reunited with his brother. They are sharing a shelf together. Most people would probably think this is kind of weird but I want to ask you - my fellow dog people - instead. I'd like to put them both in my backpack and take them for a walk again. Am I completely nuts?

No no not nuts at all....every dog I and my family have ever lost have pride of position in their favourite spot never to be left out. Black and White loved being with you so taking them on a hike with you makes perfect sense to me......it's other people who are the crazy ones not to understand why you do this......anyone who has ever loved and lost a beloved pet will be totally with you. Thinking of you all x

Could not agree more. There is no right or wrong way to del with grief and whatever provides you with some measure of comfort... well then how can that be wrong or weird.. You have both been in my thoughts.. xoxo

I have not responded to this post, because when I first read it I really broke down in tears. As Snuffles gets older, I know there are fewer days together. It was also at the time when he was vomiting and major diarrhea at the same time. Thinking it was something acute, I could also see something chronic too. I was just felling to vulnerable at the time to respond. As far as going for a walk, go for it. If those were your special moments together, and if it helps the grieving process, I see no problem.

I'm so sorry for your loss... tears, tears
I say take them for a walk...do whatever makes you feel good.
I bought pendants that hold my newfs ashes.... I have 2 of them, my husband has one, my mother has one. That way he is close to me and my heart. I purchased them from perfectmemorials.com They were about $30 each. I would highly recommend.
