Goodbye Little Pepe
Last night at 1:30 A.M. we said goodbye to little Pepe at the pet ER where the fluid in his lungs from his congestive heart failure made it almost impossible for him to breath. It was a very difficult and emotional decision and experience to decide to release him from his misery and let him pass into eternal rest.
He was, by far, my very favorite little traveling buddy. I don't know what I'll do now for the road trips I take while my wife is gone off for a few days. Maybe I'll have to borrow one of my son's little dogs to take along for company. We had 10 great years with Pepe and he will be sorely missed. Here he is on some of our road trips.

Sorry for your loss. I know how it is to lose a pet. I'm always a wreck.

Re: Goodbye Little Pepe
I'm so sorry to hear this news. Losing a pet is never easy, doubly so when they're your copilot. I LOVE your travelogues and hope you continue to post them despite the loss. May Pepe rest in peace.

Re: Goodbye Little Pepe
I am sorry for your loss. I've gone thru it a few times and it doesn't get any easier. You have your pets and they become part of your family's life and they're gone. Time to heal and remember the good times you had with Pepe.

Re: Goodbye Little Pepe
Sorry to hear about your loss. I know how difficult it is to say good by to a pet when they are really more like a family member. Just think about all the road trips you enjoyed together. Every time you drive Old Henry you will have happy thoughts about Pepe.

Re: Goodbye Little Pepe
I am sorry to read of your loss. It is easy say "I don't want another dog, it's too hard when you have to put one down". Your heart will tell you when you are ready for another best friend.

Re: Goodbye Little Pepe
That's so sad.He had a good life though and was loved.Putting a pet down to end the suffering isn't easy but it's the last nice thing you could do for Pepe.

Re: Goodbye Little Pepe
Craig, sorry to hear about Pepe's passing. When I do get to read your traveling adventure posts, Pepe's presence in your pictures was always a highlight of the read for me. Even though he looked a little bit nervous at times sitting on his pillow, I am sure he loved being there with you and vise versa. Anytime I have lost one of our cherished pets, it was like losing a member of our family. Maybe as time passes you could find one of Pepe's friends or a relative of his who might be living in a local animal rescue, just waiting for someone like you to give him a nice new home.

Re: Goodbye Little Pepe
So sorry. I still mourn Spork, my first Chihuahua. The only thing I can say is go right out and adopt another Chihuahua, or two. They are the only dogs that treat us straight across as equals.
If you have a Chihuahua and an old Ford, your life is running right. |

Re: Goodbye Little Pepe
So sorry about Pepe. It is never easy to loose a pet, they are all special members of the family. Everyone has different thoughts about replacing a lost pet, just do what is best for you. Looking forward to seeing another dog or 2 in upcoming travelogues when the time is right.
