Bye Brainy

He was dying, I knew he was growing weak and I knew for weeks that it wouldn’t be long… though there wasn’t much I could do. As time drew closer till that short last breath and final whimper, all he could do was wait around as he faded away. Each breath shorter than the last… I’m glad he passed peacefully. Brainy’s gone now… he’s been a good friend for more than 10 years and it feels a little quiet around here since Monday. Its an appropriate and calm silence to mourn the loss of a friend and also part of the family. Burying him myself was a good closure; if you love your pet(s), I recommend burying them yourself when they pass away. I watched Brainy grow up, hung out with him at night while he was still a pup when he was shivering from the cold, taught him some neat tricks, spent many hours playing with him, punished him when he was naughty, etc. There was that one day when I came back from jogging, opened the automatic gate, accidentally dropped the remote and the gate closed on Brainy’s head as he was running excitedly to come greet me. He went into shock for about 2 days… and ever since that he never grew up and had always stayed puppy size (don’t try this at home). Well, I know that he got sick and almost died twice while I was away in the states and now after a year that I’ve been back, he finally let go. I guess he was waiting to see me first, glad I got to say goodbye. :)

  2. your friends are lucky to have you. Brainy was just an animal, yet you speak of him like a real human being, friend and family. i’m pretty sure you’d value the presence as well as the loss of people close to you even more. Condolence, casey!

  4. Now i guess this is one of your lonely ramblings, im sorry about brainy,at least there were 10 years that you’ve been together. i love my pet dog & cats & i can relate to this sense of loss…All that was left now is the memories of happy times w/ that furry angel, God bless!!!

  18. poor dog… reast in peace….

  20. I thought what you’re discussing here is a loss of somebody who was was dear to you. I did’nt expect that it was a dog. I presumed you treasure your friends more special than Brainy. Hope I’ll be one of those precious friends to treasure

  23. you may not believe it, but i really felt like crying when i read your blog… it’s really sad losing a friend… hey, pets are like humans, too, in a way… and sometimes, they’re easier to talk to than human beings… ehehhh…

I was far away from home. maybe he died of missing me too much. lucky for u to have said goobye to ur beloved Brainy. may our dearest pets rest in peeace. Ameen.

  35. poor lil dog :< :( i’m sorry to hear that, your dog is anice dog, but not nice of u….

  36. bye Brainy…

    Dops

  37. i really feel sorry for that, but i know brainy is in the right path, he or she might as well enjoying the company of other pets who was died

  38. I can relate to what had happened to your pet…I lost my first dog 3 years ago and it was really painful…i still have 2 other dogs with me and i fear i’ll undergo the same pain again if one day God decides to get them from me…but at the mean time, i’ll enjoy them while they are still with me…don’t worry, brainy is watching over you just like what my dog Whyte is doing to me…:-)

  39. The sadness inside and this guy always have a way to put them in words…a relief isn’t it? …..btw could not use the send message option in friendster to keep in touch with you..so how’s everything case?could always get a replacement for Brainy …but still it would not be the same right?…but that’s the beauty of it coz it means opening a new chapter with the new Brainy…stay cool man…

  40. absence certainly makes the heart grow fonder… well that’s life, You gain some and lose some. What matters most is how you stand up on that situation since Life Goes On!

  41. that was so sad… I suddenly remembered how sad it was when my pet died =(

  42. sorry to hear about brainy..

  43. I do believe he waited for you…dogs are real best friends.

  44. sad……remembered all my pets…

  45. T.T like a movie

  46. The lost of a friend is heart-wrenching, especially one as close as being a family member. I too lost my pet dog years ago …

    It feels sad at first (from the loss) but gradually you will realize how much laughter he has brought to your life.

    The agony and frustration of toilet training him, the fun and love of cuddling him, the much missed moments of him rushing to greet you whenever you step back home …

    Learn from the loss and accept it gracefully. Cherish the precious memories and moments he brought you.

    The wonder of life.

  47. hi! i know how sad to lost someone dear… i had a pet too, actually they were two cats! Orange and Black… the hardest part is when you are away and you learned that they died without you there… i cried when i read the text message that my cat Orange died followed by Black… now that i had read your Blog, i almost cried… remembering the cat that once being around with me for 9 years to annoy, love, tickle, embrace, purr etc… God Speed my friend… at least once in this life they had been a part of us…

  48. hey, i feel ur grieve even if im not fond of having any pet at home, especially dog(coz my grandpa died bitten by his dog to death…well, trauma dat is).
    Brainy must be so dear to u.
    must be ur bestest companion.
    well,I myself is not good with goodbyes, and im thankful that i always miss the last glances,memories and all.
    but deep in my heart, im wishing dat i cud hav bin der wen they bid gudbye 2 ol.
    u must b lucky, u stil had ur last best memories with Brainy.
    my condolences…

  49. we dunno each other.. but u still had my condolescence =) hope ur better

  54. hi, my persian cat of seven years died and i was devastated, it took me two months before i could go out of the house and rejoin the world. most of my friends just didn’t seem to get how i could be so depressed because of an animal’s death. your blog humanizes animals and affirms pet lovers’ belief that animals aren’t just animals as pets but family members and friends who you can love like a person. thanks for that blog in behalf of all the misunderstood, and often ridiculed, pet lovers of the world.


  55. i’ve known how this pain feels like…
    the pain of loosing someone that very important…
    but be strong casey..

  76. I seldom read ppl’s blog but just happen to see urs. Even by reading tis my heart kind of aches too thought I dunno you. I understand how you feel… It jus hurts so much in the heart. Brainy will always stay in your heart. Cheer up!!! He doesn’t wanna see you like tis too. Take care…

  77. I almost cried when I read this.
    my beagle was put to sleep when I was in London. I never got to say goodbye and it still haunts me for the simple fact that he didn’t die a natural death. I miss him so much.

    What can I do? I wasn’t around then.

    Here’s a hug for you. Memories lasts forever and Brainy is in a better place :)

  78. hugsss for brainy..where ever he is..take care pal..

  79. Being faced with the death of our furry, feathered, and scaly friends can be a devastating emotional experience, so profound that the feelings cannot be put into words., condolence

  80. i don’t know who are you, but… so sad T_T

  81. I’m sorry to hear this. I’m sure Brainy enjoyed his life with your family. he’s such a lovely doggy..

  82. sorry about your buddy. just bear this in your mind. if someone or something took from you its either something big or small. god has something to give in return which is more valuable. everything has a reason why this is happening..

  83. that is sooooo sad.. i was moved by the way you told brainy’s story.. i hapen to love dogs too.. they’re the only friends i’ve got when everyone else turn their backs on me.. condolence, sweety..

  108. hey.,. sorry for the loss. Even though it’s a dog, I sympathize deeply since I believe that dogs were created as man’s companion and so should be treated like one too. Good thing you had time burying him yourself. I hope you cope up easily from what had transpired. Just get a new pet to ease away your pain.(”,) and name him brainy again, okay. chow!

    i hope i did too.
    I still miss him until now…
    =(

  119. wow…i am awed! i was inspired!

  120. rest in peace and God Bless Brainy….

  121. I understand where you’re comming from, coz i have also experienced that pain the time when 3 out of 3 of my puppies passed away because of an unfair disease. Can you imagine how hard it is for us to lost someone we consider family? But we have no other choice but to let go, than to see them suffer running after every breath… You are not alone Casey, maybe the only thing we did was loving our pets too much & that’s the prime reason of this hurt, but it is alright coz they do deserve of our love - no matter what the consequence will be & no matter how difficult it is
    to bear should they
    have to leave, we’re still willing to give whatever they wanted…LOVE…100%

    btw,i’ve added u up in frndster…tnx!

  122. ohhhh..wory not..u can have another on..

  123. i dunno who r u but don be sad…i understand ur feeling too coz i also a pet lover…pets are like people too, they need our care,love and everything…few years ago, around 12 dogs i been taking care of it but i cant give them good caring so i decided to leave them…i give them to those who rich and of course also a pet lover…so cheer up guy…i believe brainy wants u to be happy…

  124. Hey.. Was browsing the blogs when I saw yours.. You wouldnt believe if I tell u that I cried when reading your blog.. I love pets.. I have a cat at home.. He’s not feeling well now.. But I really hope its not time to say Goodbye to him.. Condolence to u.

  125. So sorry to hear that. But It still live in your mind, isn’t it?

  126. i’m so sorry to know this. I own a maltese. Same as u, i’m so attach to her. If this were to happen on me (thou i knw it would one day) i’m sure i will be devasted for days, months, years…

    I’m sorry for your lost. be strong

  127. my sincere condolence to u casey.. brainy seems real friendly.. such a lost is unbearable.. let time heal ya?
    cheers..

  128. condolence…i feel d same way when i lost my dog too.he was my best friend…i lost him 3 yrs ago but d pain is still here and i still cry whn i remember him..i can still imagine his weary eyes staring at me 4 d last seconds of his life…i wanted to hav a new one but im afraid i might lost him again…

  129. I couldn’t help getting emotional over this blog entry. It’s sad when you lose someone whom you’ve considered a true friend.

    I’ve recently lost my 2 dogs, puppies actually, and I’m still coping with their deaths. One died 2 weeks ago, and the other just yesterday.

    Gotta stop now. I’m crying again.

  130. condolence…i feel d same way when i lost my dog too.he was my best friend…i lost him 3 yrs ago but d pain is still here and i still cry whn i remember him..i can still imagine his weary eyes staring at me 4 d last seconds of his life…i wanted to hav a new one but im afraid i might lost him again…

  131. =( …i understand how it feels to lose our pets, they’re just like our family!

  132. I never had a pet to care for like that. So I can’t sympathize with you that much but still I admire your finding a tresure to cherish even though what we’re talking about is a pet.
    And I think brainy was really a part of you (clue was the name) and I guess losing him meant also losing a piece of your whole.

  133. hi any budy home?????????????

  134. sad…

  135. Hi Casey. How are you feeling today? I came across with your message as i wanted to sign in my friendster. Your message touched my heart and somehow had triggered some old memories of mine.I can understand your feeling perfectly. In 1996, God had sent me one good friend into my life. A year later, she gave birth to 7 very cute puppies. But the next year, i watched all of them died one by one. I was only 14 back then. And i can ensure you that the thought itself is killing me. In 1998, my friend gave birth to another 3 puppies… one died few months later because of health problems.And in 1999, my friend passed away… not peacefully, if you ask me. She bitten a poisoned rat, and you can imagine how she died when the poison circulated her whole body. In 2004, one of her offspring collapsed and then passed away… just like that. Actually reason? unknown. And just few month backs, the last offspring also passed away due to heart failure. Sound funny because i never thought that heart failure would occur on her. Looking back the time now, I really do miss all of them. and I do blame myself for not being there for them when they needed me the most. I was away, furthering my study… sigh… Casey, I m glad to know at least, you managed to say good bye to brainy. I bet Brainy is very happy to know you as her true friend :)

  136. OHH MY..sad..s2ry..

  137. i lost a pet before and i know how it feels. :( sad to hear that.

  138. sorry to hear your lost.. be strong ok… cheer up… i know that Brainy wouldn’t be happy to see you sad… :)
    As a dogs lover, i know exactly how you’re feeling becoz i’ve lost my dogs too…

    GBU, friend!

  139. Such a nice dog, i think. My condolence.

  140. casey, im so into it! i mean i am really touched..

    I also have a pet dog and love him so much.

  146. in this world, everything is ephemeral. wherever your dog is right now, be assured that he’s really happy. i’m a dog lover myself. =D it sure is sad to loose them, but it always make me happy to know that i’ve loved them… and that they loved me too. i thank the almighty God for them. God bless you sir! =D

  151. may the god bless ur royal frend….cheers…

  152. i always love dogs. they’re too loyal.. they’re truly man’s best friend. i had a dog too that died. it took me sometime before i got used to not having him around. at least he dint hav to suffer. that’s something to be grateful about.

  153. gosh! i thot it was d man in the pix…i totally got hooked by that anyways, though its only a dog, still u treat it like a friend and a family, i feel sad for you casey course ur so…WEIRD!!! hehehe just kidding…lighten up guy, u can add me as a friend anytime

  154. hi!!!

  156. hi,just pass by n saw ur blog…sory…but..i agree wat u say tht as a owner of a pet,v rely should burry them ourself…i buried my tortoise myself oso~~~but….my crab….i hav no chance 2 bury it myself….they r not just pet..it’s our frens…last but not least,hope ur brainy get peace n hope u can recover from tht soon oso~~~

  157. It’s really sad but I’m sure u’ll feel better bec. both of u knew that u loves each other. I can feel what u’ve felt. I’ve ever accompanied my lovely dogs till he passed away and said thx by his own way. G’DAY…

  158. sad…I once lost a pet too, and i know exactly how you feel man.

  159. how sad… hope you can find another pet like brainy…

  160. awww i loev dogs and i can relate :(

  161. i am touched…you moved me…

  162. i can totally relate to your experience. I’ve had so many crying moments with my dogs that it has somehow made me stone-hearted when it comes to pets dying. The last straw came when my 4 month old puppy died in my hands. I vowed never to cry again. It made things clearer to me..people die..plants die..so do dogs. It’s the attachment that needs to die most…then the tears will dry up as well until none would come out.

  163. sad for u.. i lost my pets too but yr life have to go on.. if u dont.. yr best friend will be sad. and the last thing to said that on the 13 day yr best friend will be back to see u the last time… and have to go for a new life… the story is for the old ppl. now see u beliv ma

  164. Rest and peace for Brainy!! and a condolence for your loss Casey!!

  165. My condolences!
    i know how it feels ….i lost my last dog just a few months ago, and it’s not easy trying to deal with the emotions.

    remember: all doggies go to heaven!!

My last pet (a dog) died several years ago but his memories still haunts me up to this day. I don’t know you but I must say that I’m so proud of you that you had the courage to bury Brainy yourself.. I was not that tough when Pipoy, Tootsie, and Tagpi died.. Well, goodluck to you my friend. And my prayers for Brainy..

    i love dogs too…
    i have a sharpei ryt now…

    i think he’s happy in his life when he was here…

  191. TEN YEARS… Wow that’s long.

  200. hi. you dont know me but its just that i can relate y know. lost a dog and a fat fat fat guinea pig too. im really sorry about your loss.
    i bet all dogs go to heaven.

  201. Hi! there!
    im lyn from Taguig.

  202. may i know you ???????

  203. opppssss….. sorry to hear but hes a cute dog….

  204. I feel very sad reading your story. I like dogs very very much. I remember one day my mum gave my dog to a guy to be killed and cooked (in my hometown they eat dogs). I cried for days and I hated her for that. The reason that she gave away my dog was because he was so naughty and since I moved to another city to study in the uni, she tought it was a good idea. Ever since then, I swore to myself that I will never eat dogs (I’ve never eat dogs before anyway).
    I can see from your story that you really love your dog. Someday if I want to have a dog, I will never leave it to others, even it is my own mum.

  205. animals have no soul.. they just die thats it.. i know how u felt..

  206. i’m so so sory for your brainy. so sad. been there done that.. hix.. hix..

  207. reading your blog made me remember my dog,jacko. he died 5 years ago but till now i can still the feel the pain of losing him unexpectedly. i cried so much during his death,like i lost a member of my family. i guess this is the price we pay for loving so much..

  208. I salute your love for your dog dude, I’ve had a dog once, his name is Vincent, he died 5 years ago, Sucks to lose a pet that you treat like your friend and treated you as a friend too, I love him, and eversince he passed away, I never forgot him, he had always been on my memory bank, lucky for you you have a photo of him, I never had a chance to capture his photo… Damn! I am enraged by the people who poisoned him, if I have a chance to know who they are, I will give them the taste of their own medicine.

  209. haha…i have been in worse then u…dun be sad..any way you can’t bring dead to life..so cheer up =p!..if need a listening ear im here…lol

  210. hellowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  211. I can feel your pain.I lost my pet too :”(.So sorry about your pet.I notice you only blog about the event but not much on emotional part.

  212. hi everybody
    hope to meet you soon………….

  213. wow! I almost cried while watching “The Rainbow Bridge” video.
    Nice site you got there, Jonah!
    And Casey, please accept my condolence.
    I once had a Pitbull, which me and my ex-bf bought.
    But when we broke up, my relationship with my ‘baby dog’ broke as well.
    I never even had a chance to say goodbye to her.
    I never hesitated to fight for my right as her other owner, because I thought it would just start a fight between me and my ex.
    Lucky me, my brother-in-law gave me a pup (stray dog) last January of this year.
    Together with my husband, we don’t treat him as a stray dog. We treat him the way other pet owners treat their breeded dogs..
    Because for me, they’re all the same…They just differ in ‘races’.
    I even call our pet dog Captain “Bebe.”
    And maybe, I would also cry at the top of my lungs when he dies.
    So cheer up, Casey.
    As the video tells it, they’re whole again when they reach the Rainbow Bridge, and for sure, Brainy’s happier now, with his new friends.
    And there, they make a new family.
    Goodluck to you, and God bless! :-)

  214. I really appreciate the way you value friendship…it’s just a dog yet you treasured him…sorry for the loss

  215. im sad for u casey…i really am…..u really value the life of your pet as i do…i know the feelings….coz i have a pet who died also…

  216. T_T hwa… sorry for the loss. sometimes i feel, our pets is better than our friends… but, thank god it’s wrong.
    eh??

  217. lossing someone or something very dear to you is hard to accept but things have to happen.. condolences

  218. weehw,. its really sad to lose som1 u’v use to be with for a long time… but you have to continue the journey… ;)

  219. this is wat v call life..
    it comes and it goes..
    take it easy..
    even all of us will belong to god some day..
    i can feel wat u felt,thats y i dun wanna hav a pet,cos it will become ur family member, and it will leave u someday..
    makes u feel sad at last..
    just dun think back..look a head…keep ur pet in the memory bank..and bless it hav a peaceful new life..!

  220. i understand how you feel..i’m also a pet lover..i also had a dog for 14 years.my dog died due to kidney failure..she was already old..we did everything to save her..she died in my arms while i was carrying her from the vet..lossing a member of the family is very hard..just keep the memories,it will help you smile too..take care..

  221. a very touching story…it’s really tragic when a loved one leaves you…so it’s my condoleces to you…

  222. aww.. i love animals, couldnt help but be sad about your friend’s death. we have lots of pets at home., dogs, cats and some reptiles (snakes, iguana etc..) i even like picking up stray cats.. anyway, cheer up. im sure brainy was happy and content when he was still alive..

  223. awww… sniff* sniff* =(

  224. it’s just a matter of perception… i mean, a dog can be more important than a person as a friend can be more important than a parent to some. but afterall, you’ve considered him a friend which is somehow the best thing you could ever done to a “dog”.

  225. ”T_T”

    i’m sorry yo hear that………

    i feel same when all my lovely fish are dying coz my sister put a soap in the fish pond….(she was 5 year old and she doesn’t know what a meaning of life.)

    but be strong coz if you always sad, Brainy sad too. i belief Brainy happy to had a good owner like you….

  226. tukmol

  227. hey, dunno u very well… but i felt really sad for your pet…

  228. well, its so interesting and very quite serious all about life , with a lot like the story of their family ,like joy ,problem, sadness,and happiness of course.

  236. Thanks everyone for your kind words and condolences to Brainy. I’m sure he is in a better place… and i don’t mean my garden :p

    If Brainy were alive and could read, he’d be very touched by all of you. You have my gratitude.

  237. Mmmm… been more than a month since your Brainy passed away. I’m sure all dogs go to heaven :) wish I could say the same for us humans…. just a thought.

  238. you killed brainy… accidents or negligence… sad but true… the fact was, you can’t bring back the life that was lost or wasted… learn from mistakes and move on… Good luck for your future pets, if you plan to have one… take care…

  239. nothing much to say, just affraid i’ll lost my lovely puppy in future days oso, miss her a lot, we far miles away, but i owes keeping her as my wallpaper, for reminding me, thr’s a lovely daughter waiting me home since i left. . . (sobs sobs..)

  240. how sad!

  241. giving you a sincere condolence Casey… RIP Brainy…

  242. This made me miss my pet I left at home. His name is pinggoy and will be 12 years old on his birthday. He’s a typical old dog now. Healthwise, he’s also having a lot of body aches, which now gave me an advantage to overpower him at play. He’s easily tired and we can no longer wrestle as hard like when he was still younger. He still loves to touch though. I hope I will still see him when I get home.

  243. Fate brought him where he is now. For sure, he is now in good hands.

  244. Condolence from me Casey…its sad….

  245. hey…..

  246. sorry for that….condolence……….

  247. condolence…though it’s late telling you this…sorry…

  248. sorry for your loss… i know how you feel. once you get connected with someone, be it with a person or a pet, it is har dto let go.

  249. Aww… *Hugz*
