Oh, I remember well that video. Wonderful tribute to your sweet Fergus. What a beautiful rascal and beloved beast. Sometimes I think dogs are so good that they put our species to shame…but the two species together somehow manage to bring out the very best in both.

I'm so sorry for your loss. One thing all gardeners share is the love of watching something grow and thrive. From your posts, we know Fergus definitely thrived. When my beautiful Ria died, I planted a tree with her ashes under it and I think of her and smile every time I'm in my yard. I hope you find peace soon and smile when you think of your Fergus.

Heartbreaking post, i'm sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend back in 2011. Still missing her every single day. There is a reason why they live shorter than us, and obviously Fergus has made the best of his life.

Oh, Matt, I'm so sorry. I know how much this hurts. I lost my buddy on the 15th of February; it was expected, and he died at home. He was there for me when my wife died, and when my other dog died, and when I lost him I felt absolutely crushed.
The emptiness they leave is appalling. I went right out and got another one.

Thank You Joseph for opening your heart me and sharing the essence of Fergus
what a beautiful tribute you have done for him by speaking of him you do him honor
he fought a good fight. .you were there by his side . showing love ….knowing that soon he'll be called home but you never gave up. ……. .
speaking of him like this opens up the true raw love of the Irish. ………
it is never a good bye and it's always I see you later dad…….I'll see you around. ..
There are no words that I can say that will make your pain go away. ……but I will pray for softness on your heart tonight and the upcoming days. ….
for only time can only wash some away. …
it is you speaking of him , it is family, it is the essence that he's touch everyone with, it is sharing his life with us, it is the feeling you get that he's never far away. ..that warms your heart again. ..
till then stay strong. .my friend. ..for my day will come when I need you ….
but for now lean on me……

So Sorry for your loss, Its an awful thing to go through. It sounds like the time you spent together was wonderful, and at least hes not suffering. He lived a full and wonderful life. Awesome pictures to remember all the good times. He seemed like a wonderful gardening companion.

In reply to Anonymous. Thanks for you kind thoughts. It sounds as if you really understand that odd sense of sadness one gets with pets. I loved my parents, but sometimes, pets carry a different sort of emotional weight.

In reply to Daniel Wachenheim. I too am so sorry about your dear dog. Surely, you gave him an epic life as well. Thanks
