Re: Kramer.

Kramer was one in a million and he went on his terms. Now he has a much larger Kingdom to rule.

Re: Kramer.

I sit here looking at the computer screen, tears flowing. Jean, I know how your heart must feel tonight. The same as mine did when Bishop died in my arms. I am so glad he hung on until you could be with him. But it seems he would have it no other way.

I send to you my heart felt sympathy.
Draw on all those wonderful memories.

I don't know what else to say...

Re: Kramer.

Jean,
I'm sorry and my heart hurts for your loss -- and the loss to all of us. I'm grateful he waited and I'm grateful he gave you the look. You two had, and will continue to have, an amazing love story. I only wish every animal in this world could have lived his life.

I'm lighting a candle to help guide your way, sweet boy. Be young and healthy again. Be waiting for us all...

Re: Kramer.

I am signing off soon. Jean will likely not post tonight, or maybe not even tomorrow(Saturday), but I do expect she will be on to read.

Please post not only expressions of sympathy, but also things you have learned through Kramer, or favorite stories from Jean about him. I know Kramer has taught us ALL much, and also offered us second-hand entertainment! I think sharing these bits will help Jean in her time of need. She has helped so many of us, in so many ways!



On behalf of Jeanpackistan, your condolences on the loss of the king are regally accepted. The Rainbow Bridge will NEVER be the same again!!!!

Re: Kramer.

I'm sorry to hear about Kramer, Jean. I always enjoyed seeing pictures of him. His warm, loving smile with just a little bit of Chow attitude. He sounds like he was a one-in-a-million dog. Wise and caring. Though I never met him, I got to know him through your posts and I am saddened by his passing. He was so lucky to meet you in the shelter. His Royal Highness had a wonderful life with you.

He will be greatly missed. R.I.P. Kramer.

Re: Kramer.

He went on his own terms in his own time.

He has touched countless people through this site. Through us, our dogs. Shadow will not what so ever let me out of his sight tonight. He knows something is going on.

My Shadow is still young. I pray that throughout his GSD life like Kramer, he can teach other dogs the calm and coolness that Kramer had. He met them, welcomed them and taught them. I wish for all of us that we have a doggie mentor in our home.

I know he leaves the rest of his pack with the knowlege on how to help Jean through this. He was just that good of a teacher.

I will miss his pictures.

His looks, he was so wise.

I am thankful to have known him through this forum. And to continue knowing Jean, we are here for you.

King Kramer.

Re: Kramer.

I think Jean needed Kramer and Kramer needed Jean that is why they meshed (after some trail and error) together.

The thing about Packs is that they change, they evolve, dogs come and go.

I don't have the heart wrenching pain that I had when Nina left, this is more of a calm feeling. Kramer had a GREAT long life with Jean and his body just didn't have any more fight in it.

Kramer's Legacy will live on through what he has taught the current pack members, what he has taught Jean and that she will be able to teach new pack members. Yes Jean will have additional pack members when the time is right.

Right now Jean will draw on what Kramer taught her because the pack is going to be really out of sorts for some time. But Kramer will guide her through helping the pack get adjusted.

Jean, my friend, I wish I could take the pain away.

Re: Kramer.

In the end, we can only hope to live fully, to be loved, to make a difference, to have good friends and to be surrounded by those who love and respect us when our time on earth is over. To die in the arms of one who loves us, and to be aware enough to say "goodbye," that is a sorrowful but sweet gift that we can't truly appreciate until we've been there.

Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Jean, my heart is with you. And the queen mourns her king. There shall never be another.

Re: Kramer.

I haven't posted much on Kramer's kingdom threads...but I have read them and they have brought many smiles and not a few tears...

All of them are special, but some are even more special to us and Kramer was very much more special....remember all the good times and the love, and know that he loved you too Jean - he will be running free at the bridge now, and will take charge of all those who need him....

My very very deepest sympathies

Re: Kramer.

I have yet to post in this thread due to being new and feeling like I was the new one on the block, getting in on something that friends shared. I know I dont know most of you yet, however Jean, I have to tell you. From the moment I read about the trip back to where Kramer played and all the things you have done for this member of your family, I have had mad respect for you. I feel I know Kramer and he has allowed so many ppl into your lifes circle as well as his own. I have gained strength for what ever the future holds for me and those I love and hope that I have the strength to do half of what you did to make those last days so memorable. Kramer knew what you were doing and he was reliving his youth. I know you saw that every night when you would lay there with your own fears and minds thoughts and look over to make sure his breath was still even and that he was in no pain. You can rest tonight, rest that your body has needed. Dream tonight, of that warm breath and soft kiss and Kramer thanks you for all you did for him and most importantly for the love you gave him. Tomorrow you may live. You have made Kramer a household name and not only will you never forget him, neither will total strangers that never met him but are better off for hearing about his brave path he made with you by his side, you in his heart, and him forever in your soul!

Re: Kramer.

I have not posted on these threads but have read through them first thing almost every time I log on. Jean my heart goes out to you and all of Kramer's subjects. See so much about love and acceptance of our animals. I look at my two and hope when that time comes, that we will have lived the life and shared the love that i saw throughout these threads.

Godspeed Kramer. Keep an eye on your pack and all of us left behind to continue the story that you've started.

Re: Kramer.

I am so sorry Jean. I know only too well what you are going through right. Just remember, we are all holding you up now, and we are crying with you. Take care. RIP Kramer.

I can't say it any better than that.

Re: Kramer.

Oh Jean,

I sit here crying for all of us, King Kramer will be sorely missed . But he has taught me a lot through your posts about his life with you, the love you two shared came through loud and clear. May we all have a Kramer in our lives at some point, he was the KING and ruled his pack with fairness and love. God speed HRH Kramer, and Melinda, you are sooo right, the Rainbow Bridge will NEVER be the same. All the furkids that have gone before him will be meeting him, he has so much to do up there, he'll be busy til it's time for you Jean, and the rest of Jeanpackistan to go on too. My heart hurts for all of you Jean, but all those years of wonderful memories will help ease the pain and grief. Rule on King Kramer .

 

[RebelGSD]

Re: Kramer.

I am so very sorry, Jean. Kramer was one regal gentleman and I am sure he reigns the furkids at the Bride. He is in the company of wonderful canines there, some of my companions too. He will be watching over you.

Angie sends you big borks (I am sure Kramer can hear them too) and big sloppy kisses.

Re: Kramer.

It's past my bedtime and hard to type through the tears but Jean I wanted to thank you for sharing so much of Kramer's life with us. Although I never actually met him, I feel like I knew him so well. Just the other day, one of Kramer's stories made me laugh so hard I spit my food out.

Nothing is like losing your first dog, especially when your first dog graced this world with such character. I know you will carry his spirit in your heart and his legacy will live on through your pack. I wish you peace in this time of mourning.
