D’oh. Something was messed up with my RSS reader and I suddenly got a whole batch of your posts at once.
I’m not interested in talking about religion, but I do want to pass on my condolences. Tim sounds like he was a wonderful dog and I’m very sorry for your loss.
The pictures are beautiful, too. I’m guessing he was a Sheltie?

I’m not interested in continuing the discussion ether as I don’t believe in an afterlife, and debate on the matter with those that do is sterile and pointless.

Wait. The post about the sad loss of your canine companion devolved into a discussion of religion and the after-life? That’s just wrong, man. Don’t these people have any compassion?
Dear Buzzo,
Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your close friend and companion.
Regards,
Gr8wight

Thanks. Honestly, the reason I put that up is not so much because for me to whine about how sad I am that I lost him but more to express how great he was and how much I and others cared about him. He is gone and nobody will be able to meet him to see how good he was again, but his memory is still with us and I’d like to pay some tribute to him. He was a dog and so that might seem a bit odd, but he meant a lot to me. In part it was because I spent nearly every waking hour of his life with him, taking him in the car with me to jobs when I could and going to play in the park every day after work that wasn’t raining. But it was also because he was just a very very good boy. A very good, good natured, good hearted and happy being.

As a dog owner myself, who considers his 4 legged pal to be not just a pet, but a companion, child, best friend, and reason for being, you have my complete condolences.
Even the thought of losing my little furry buddy is almost unbearable. I made him promise me to die of nothing but extreme old age.

I was never a dog person until acquired by Pepper. She lived a long life, much of it (I think, for I never knew exactly how old she was) before she met me, but her last ten years or so were spent with me. The picture dates from about 2002. She had a stroke in 2007.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a sign of a lack of compassion to suggest Dr. Buzzo might yet see Tim again. Religious beliefs are subject to slow change over time, and the certainty that there is nothing beyond this horizon is one such belief.

I don’t know jack about an afterlife, but I know dogs make this life pretty awesome.
