My dog died I searched YouTube in my grief for comfort. I hope this is the video that eases your pain of losing your beloved dog. I hope my video helps comforts you by sharing Riley's story.  PLEASE LIKE THIS VIDEO IF IT HELPS YOU SO OTHERS MAY FIND IT MORE EASILY.

My best dog friend of almost 13 years just died. His name was Riley. A Bichon Frise. I didn't know I would be in such grief over his passing. To help me  cope, I dug up all the old pictures and video clips I could find and added the last video i made of his last 2-days. I really tried to make is final days happy as possible for him. Riley was in much pain from aggressive arthritis that made it hard to walk. He was always limping hard. His Cushing's disease hurt inside and made it difficult for him to get nutrition from his food. 

The 1/3rd of this video celebrates Riley's life. 
In the 2/3rd I am trying to give Riley the happiest last 2-day I can. 
WARNING: The last 3rd of this video is hard to watch. There's a lot of crying and pain (for me) as the "Lap-of-Love" hospice vet eased Riley to sleep; to cross over the Rainbow Bridge. 

If you love an animal as deeply as I do you will feel my grief. I know death part of life. And a dogs life is more finite than ours. But that makes no difference to your heart. It's going to hurt. I'll eventually learn to live with Riley's loss in time.

Some people may think I'm less a man for all my uncontrollable crying. They may call me unkind names. But I know others maybe hurting like me over the loss of their beloved pet, and I hope they can see they are not alone in their pain and grief.

Today I am wearing Riley's collar as a bracelet because I miss the jangle of his tags. It helps me feel he's still close by in spirit. When a wave of grief comes over me I squeeze his tags to feel better.

In loving Memory of my Dog Riley
11/12/2007 to 5/31/2021
I still miss you so much!
