So Chris has been great to us here on the forums and I thought a good way to thank him would be to start grass roots push to do something nice for him.
I was thinking asking if Anet would put a memorial to his loyal Golden Retriever in game. Maybe even a drakehound statue with his dog’s name on it. I think most of us on here have lost a pet and can relate to how rough it is. Maybe something like this would help.
Thank you all very much for your kind words and thoughts. That is more than enough for me. You are all awesome and mean a great deal to me so thank you for being so supportive.
Chris
Oh, we’re sorry for your fellow pet = (
I sent this to my wife thank you.
You are all going to make me start crying again )-:
Chris
Here is a picture of him. He traveled all over the world with us. Wherever my career took me.
I do want to say though that many folks who are connected to Arena and Guild Wars have losses in their lives and whilst i so appreciate your care and suggestions I don’t think it is appropriate. There are folks in the community going through much more difficult things than I.

“Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little dog died today;
he’ll be waiting at your door.Please take him into Heaven, Lord.
And keep him there for me,
just feed him, pet him, love him, Lord,
that’s all he’ll ask of Thee."-Unknown
Well that tipped me over the edge. Crying at work is not good (-:
Chris

My heart goes out to you.

For those who don’t know – the rainbow bridge:
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….
Author unknown…
(I’m of no particular faith, with absolutely no certainty of heaven. Still, more than any reward for US, I do hope there’s a place like the bridge for our companions.)
Yeah the last thing i said was be a good boy and I will see you soon.
Chris
Hi All,
Sorry I was afk. Again thanks for all your kinds words and also my sympathies for all of those that are and have been here.
Chris
Oh, dear, I didn’t know. I’m so sorry, Chris, and yes, I’m sitting here at work crying my eyes out.
My heart is with you and your family. <3 to you all.

I just had to put down my best friend of 16 and a half years this Saturday and for those who are not pet owner’s you cannot imagine how big a hole they leave behind when they go. I think a general pet memorial someplace out of the way in the game would be wonderful.

Sad to hear Chris.
Heres my buddy. Name was Boris. Was with us for almost 15 years. Gone this past February.
One of the longest nights of my life. Me and my brother up all night until vet arrives to put him down in the morning. Closed his eyes, and no more.
Miss him alot. Still find myself looking for him when i get home.
Never will have another pet again.
I am so sorry. I don’t think we will get another dog )-:
Chris
I recommend you get another dog. ^^There are large numbers of dogs in the pound looking for a home. Most of the dogs I’ve gotten were pound dogs and were wonderful pets. As a plus, you’re saving their lives as well as giving them a wonderful home. Yes, it’s sad to lose them but there is the joy from living with them to balance it out.
I have a 2 year old German Shepherd/Doberman cross called Apollo (From the pound) who is gorgeous and who we call son of Abel sometimes because they lived together and he shares much of his character. He is super protective of Alice our 2 year old daughter and that is just sooo cute. So at the moment I am thinking we should just concentrate on him. That said we are still very upset and thus my emotions are no doubt clouding the judgement of everything i am thinking about at the moment.
My big brother passed away suddenly in August. He also had a retriever, named Rosie (Chris’s furry friend very much reminds me of her). Sadly, she passed away about two years before he did. He adopted her from a local rescue group back home. The two of them were just the best of friends, and it broke his heart when she died. But after a few months he rescued another awesome furry friend (a part pit/part retriever named Jenna). He took such great care of her, and she helped him cope with so much (especially the loss of Rosie). She’s now being looked after by our parents.
Sorry for the ramble. The post just got me thinking of my brother. But I just wanted to say I’m sure your doggie lived a wonderful life with such a loving family, and you’ll always have those beautiful memories to look back on. <3
Not a ramble at all. Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing. I can’t even begin to imagine the loss of a brother or sister.
Chris
Uh oh. That’s the “I’m so sad. No one has paid any attention to me in at least 5 minutes” look. They definitely know how to put on the pressure.
He is very good at that (-:

Alvin says he’d love to come play. He loves time with other puppies.
Oh my goodness he is super cute. What breed is he?
