gino has struggled with nasal cancer since feb 2012 without medication and has crossed the rainbow bridge on 12th july 2012 (23:16).



he stayed strong and battled all the way and let go after we told him so that evening. he starred at all of us like never before. i miss gino dearly and am trying my very best to move on. whatever i do, i eat, i touch, i smell or i see reminds me of him. no one is here to share food with me anymore, no one is there to greet me when i'm home or in the morning, no one looks and stares at me at work anymore, no one is there for me to walk, no one is there for me to disturb, to irritate and to console me, no one is there to comfort and lick me anymore...

all these memories of gino will always be in my heart. it sounds as if im writing without pain but there's a huge scar in my heart and idk when will it heal. it pains to get up every morning without hearing the sound of his breathing. it pains me to walk out of my room to see that there's no one starring at me. i hate evening walks, i hate my home now. it's an empty place and i don't feel belong.... i feel like dying but i'm hanging on- for gino. because he remained strong even at his last breathe. i'm trying to honour that by living well. like what one of the members said.

I still miss my Smooch who I lost Dec. 7, 2010 and my Snobear who we lost on March 27, 2010-think of them all the time.
The only way Ken and I have been able to get through the death of our beloved dogs, was to adopt another. When Snobear died, we still had Smooch, but the house seemed SO EMPTY. We got Tonka less than a month later.
You will always love Gino and if you do get another dog, you will love him/her in a special way, too!
