I chose to comment on this layout, as your dog reminds me of our Golden Retriever and Cocker mix. I, too, no longer have Buff with me, as we had to have him put to sleep. He was riddled with arthritis and other issues. I miss him sooooo much. Reading of what happened to your beautiful Riley, I know that this is an incident that will always be with you. Buff and I were attacked by 2 Rotwilers and I too felt helpless to defend him, as one of them was attacking me while the other attacked him. I saw the fear in his eyes and I cannot get that out of my mind. Luckily for us, the owner of the dogs were home (Buff and I were walking by their house) and were able to get the dogs off us. It was the most scared I have ever been and I am just thankful that neither one of us were hurt seriously. I don't think I can tell you that you will ever forget the incident. We just have to ask God to dull our pain. There is not a day goes by I don't think of Buff and miss him terribly. I will certainly pray for you. I have never heard of anything like your experience happening before. It is nice of you to share your story so that others can be aware of such a thing. On a happier note: Your page layouts are stunning. You have so many beautiful ones it was hard to choose just one to comment on. Blessings to you and your family.

OMGosh this same thing happened to us, but thankfully me and my husband were both home and I was able to restrain one dog while my husband found out what the problem was. We also have 2 labs - they always wore their choke collars. They were playing and having a great time then our yellow lab was yelping and growling at what appeared our black labs neck. This was behavior we had never seen between them. After restraining the yellow lab we found that 2 of her teeth were caught in the links of our black labs collar. From that day forward they never wear their collars other then when on a walk. I am so sorry for your experience- I cannot image your fear, sadness and sorrow.

I can't stop crying as I read this story and know you must be beating yourself up over this! But you know that Riley was having a good time with Cooper before this happened and I am sure you provided a wonderful home for her! It would be hard to get this out of your thoughts, but you have to think of the good times you had with her! So sorry for your loss and hoping your heart will heal with time! This is a beautiful tribute to her memory and will give you comfort!

My heart aches for you and the pain you feel for your loss. You were a wonderful momma to Riley and don't ever doubt that. I know in time your pain will be eased but until then please don't consider yourself a failure as her leader. It was a very tragic accident!! I have always loved seeing your photos and layouts of your beautiful dogs. And I hope you will continue to share them as they really brighten my day. Hugs to you sweet friend! (Not gonna lie, I have shed my own tears for your loss. We used to have a golden and I know how special they are.)

February 01, 2015

Every time I think about this horrible accident, I think of how helpless I would feel like you. You didn't fail her....she knew how much you loved her, and that's what really matters. I hope one day you can remember her as she looks here, and remember all the love you had for one another. I am so sorry.

Any sort of accident causes one to always wonder what more could have been done. But that is why it is an accident, something happens so quickly that there are just brief moments to do ones best and that is what you did. A beautiful page to help the memories of happy times linger.
