RIP Korkyby *merimask

Photography / Other

I love dogs, always have. They are little heartbreakers, though. I'm sad tonight because my friend has lost her corgi buddy, Korky, to age and illness. He was a cute little fellow. I even made a mask of him once, as a gift to her.

He was adorable.

We give our hearts to them, so they can break them, but what can we do? They become family to us, even though their little lives are too brief. We mark the eras of our lives with their presence. Casey was the dog of my youth. Tucker and Ruby saw me through my first marriage and my rebuilding. Kiba will be the dog of my daughter's childhood.

Korky was the dog of my friend's twenties. He passed on the very eve of motherhood for her. How profoundly sad that she has to say goodbye to her furry friend on the day before she welcomes her new baby. She'll begin a new era, now.

I've lost some dogs over the years. Ruby, Tucker, Casey...time does heal the pain, but my heart breaks whenever a beloved old dog passes. Is it wrong to be crying for an old dog I never actually met in person? I feel like I knew him, anyway. Korky deserves a tear or two...he was a Good Dog. He'll be missed.

So long, space cowboy.

P.S. I know money can be tight during the holidays, but please consider making a donation to the ASPCA. [link] Korky was a rescue dog, and I know he would'nt have had his happy second chance if it weren't for organizations like this.

It broke my heart when I read this on her lj. I've lost plenty of my dogs, in a very similar way to how she lost hers. Just the other day I was saying that our animals don't live long enough-- if I had my way, I'd have all of my pets until the day I died.

I'll miss reading her entries about him.

He was such a funny little guy...I loved her Korky stories. Surely no little corgi was more loved.

R.I.P Korky. It is sad to lose a pet. They become your best friends. I may have never owned a dog, but I have loved and lost some cats in my life... I miss Hobbes

Yes, kitties also are heartbreakers.

If someone could invent a dog or a cat that lived for 50 or 60 years, we'd all be happier.

My condolences to your friend, it's never easy to lose a pet when they're part of the family like that. At least he had a full life and I'm sure he enjoyed his time here.

She totally doted on him...he was one lucky, spoiled pup.

*Treyos Dec 23, 2010 Hobbyist Writer

I want to come back in my next life as a pet cat or dog... one owned by a family like mine, 'cause that would totally be "the life".

My sympathies to the owner. It's a special kind of pain, to lose a dog.

*merimask Dec 23, 2010 Professional Artisan Crafter

I agree.
