Beautiful tribute, your words are felt deep within my heart. I am so thankful he went peacefully, but my heart aches so badly for you and your family. Linus was always a very special bully from the day he was born. RIP big boy, we will forever have you in our memories here.

We will all miss Linus so much. He was such a handsome bully and the pictures of him brought us many smiles. What a blessing that he went gently out of this world. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you today and the difficult days ahead. Thank you for sharing him with us.

The roses aren't as pretty
The sun isn't quite as high
The birds don't sing as sweet of a lullaby
The stars are a little bit faded
The clouds just a little more gray
And it feels like things won't ever be the same

Heaven got another angel the night
you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day
it took you away from me
I'm missing you tonight
I'll see you again sometime
For now I'll close my eyes
And dream of heaven tonight

The beaches aren't as lovely
The sky isn't quite as blue
Still they're sweetened by the memory of you
The rain is a little bit colder
The fire is never quite as warm
Still it seems that heaven isn't all that far

I'm spending a little more time now
With the things that mean a little bit more
I'm noticing the wonders of this world
I love with a little more hope now
I live with a little more peace
Cause I understand how precious life can be. Rest in everlasting peace sweet Angel

Oh my. I know there's nothing I can say that others haven't already. With a lump in my throat and tears rolling down my cheeks, I say....I so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Linus. He was so lucky to have such a great family that loved him. Deep Sigh.

Thank you so much to everyone for your kind words of comfort and support. I have read them now many, many times as I try to figure out how to live without my baby Linus and they are a great source of strength for me.

I wanted to share a few photos with everyone. First, the vet we took Linus' body to made us a beautiful imprint of his paw to remember him by that I will cherish forever:

Next, most of you know Linus left behind his little brother Truman, who has begun his own grieving process. He looked everywhere for Linus today, sniffing his empty cage and his dog bed, in search of his friend. He finally came to rest snuggled up next to one of Linus' favorite toys, which you might recognize from the photos in the first post, Linus' big kitty stuffy. There Truman slept for 3 uninterrupted hours:

And finally, Linus also left behind two kitty siblings, who also mourn his loss. Up until yesterday, Truman and our cat, Biggy's, relationship consisted of hissing and chasing. But that has now changed and they have relied on each other for comfort and companionship:

Thank you again to everyone for your love and support...it makes all the difference!

Such a beautiful tribute of Linus. :cry: Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss, and your family's loss, of Linus. It's so so hard to lose the ones that are the closet to us. Reading how Linus passed warms my heart knowing that he went to Rainbow Bridge so peacefully and at home. RIP sweet Linus!

I am so sorry. As tears run down my face, I can only think that he had a great family who loved him unconditionally. I don't have my Bully pup yet, she will be arriving the last week of August, but reading about Linus makes me realize how precious these Bully's are to their families. You are a very strong and courageous lady.
