i laid in bed crying till 3:00 a.m.

i had to hold my breathe and not even try to swallow in church today if i had swallowed then the tears wouldve came

heres a eulogy i made for him on facebook today

My Eulogy to Rambo.

my Grandmother once said i cried when my Grandfather died in 1994 but i was still a baby then so i dont remember......

There are only two times in my adult life that i've cried the first was April 9th 2017 when my Grandmother Ollie Mae Headley Sims passed away I had spent all of my teen years and most of my adult-hood helping my Grandmother and taking care of her by bringing her Lunch. Breakfast. Supper. making sure she took the right medication helping her with gardening and washing and drying clothes. to put it short when my Grandmother passed it was the first time in my adult-hood that i cried

After she passed i didnt know what i was going to do with the rest of my Life my Dad wanted me to go to work with him but i knew i wasnt ready for that if i had gone to work i can tell you right i wouldve only lasted two days and those two days i wouldve seen nothing but my Grandmother walking thru the store

a few days after Grandma died we decided to get a small breed Dog to keep in doors we were having no luck findng anything we decided to try the Montgomery Humane Society in Montgomery, Alabama

it was there that i found a Male Black and White Papillon mix that i named Rambo

Rambo kept me company, we kept each other company as i no longer had my Grandmother and my Dad was having to work to help pay off the rest of Grandmas bills and debt.

i hated having to go to the doctor or someplace similar and not being able to take Rambo with me i'd always look at him and say "Rambo when doctors. churches. and movie theatres " allow pets inside you can go to

Rambo loved going on car-rides so whenever i went to post office or store i made sure he came along his favorite car-ride snack was corn dogs

six months after adopting Rambo i got three more dogs to go with him all female. a Chi-Weenie that i named Bingo and two Rat Terriers i named Snoopy and Daisy it took a while but Rambo settled in with them and they kept him company when i couldnt be with him 24/7

Rambo had a nagging cough ever since i adopted him vet diagnosed it as Collapsing Trachea/Congestive Heart Failure and so Rambo had to be put on meds

Rambo didnt like taking meds but didnt mind as long as it came with a dog snack

You would've never known Rambo had Congestive Heart Failure with his "puppy-like energy" it was because of his "puppy-like energy" that we nicknamed him Pup

on August 8th 2020 i cried for the second time in my adult-hood as Rambos Congestive Heart Failure finally caught up with him and Rambo passed peacefully at my home we buried Rambo with all his favorite toys his goose. his tiger. his dinosaur and his teddy bear

I dont know who cried more yesterday me or my Dad

i feel some at peace knowing i can walk and visit Rambos grave whenever i start missing him. but i'd be lying if i said i still wasnt crying

I am preparing myself for many lonesome car-rides without Rambo in the car with me watching his eyes light up for his corn dogs and ice cream

I am expecting several weeks and months of breaking down in complete tears knowing Rambo will no longer be home to greet me with the other dogs when i return home from church, doctors office. and movies.

whenever i begin to miss Rambo real bad i will always try to find these songs on the radio

Shannon - Henry Gross

Mother and Child Reunion - Paul Simon

Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

Let Me Love You (Until you learn to love yourself) - Ne-Yo

I dont listen to country music much anymore but there is a song by Tim Mcgraw i havent heard in awhile i believe its called "I don't know why they say grown men don't cry" if there was a song to describe my life from April 9th 2017-August 8th 2020 that would most likely be the song

Rambo/Pup i miss and love you my friend even though its only been a day

I will continue to cry whenever i think of you until i see you in Heaven & the Rainbow Bridge one day

Fly high to Heaven and the Rainbow Bridge my little Pup

RIP Rambo/Pup

this is my Eulogy to you

I now quote one of my favorite movies "A Dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor. Educated or Illiterate. Clever or Dull. Give him you're heart and he'll give you his

Losing a pet for many people, including me, is a punch to the gut. It's a shame they don't live any longer than they do. I like dogs better than most people.

I lost my 18-year-old Jacky last year and my 17-year-old Sparky has CCD, the dog version of Alzheimer’s. Both are Rat Terriers. They traveled with me for 15 years and I am not the same person without their company.

I’m sorry for your loss of Rambo. Take comfort in your memories of him. Give the love you had for him to the pups remaining in your family.

I lost a dog a while back that was a real friend to me.

Sometimes, looking back I think he was my only friend.

Not a slight towards my wife and kids, but his love was unconditional and constant.

I can relate to your emotions BoomNation.

It's good that you had the opportunity to grieve.

RIP. My yellow lab Beau died 7/23/20 less than a month shy of his 14th birthday. Tough losing a pet, even when you start to expect it.
