Description
I would like to introduce you to Bandit aka "Bandy" or "Coyote", my companion and friend for 13 years. I lost Bandy yesterday to heart failure and it broke mine.These are family photos of our "Coyote" dog. I hope you can see his spirit, intelligence and warmth. He was a Shelty/Border Collie mix and quite a smart little fellow with a love for nature and mischief!
Gunsan posted an amazing portrait of Bandit last year:Gunsan
I would also like to thank Gwenolye/Realmofillusion for her special post this morning. Although she did not know me, or Bandit, I felt as if she had captured his spirit in her image and after communicating today, we both felt Bandit's spirit came through. She is an amazing artist of spirit and soul. House of the Spirit
Carol gave me such a beautiful gift with her artwork of Bandit. I am so touched by her thoughtfulness: Romanceworks
And a special thanks to Tara, Normy, Carol and Kurty for all their love and care.
A hug to all of you, and to your beloved animals. Jilly

Oh Jilly, I'm so sorry. My heart hurts for you, since I've experienced my heart breaking in the same way when we lost our sweet Bubba. He's so beautiful, and- yes, I can see he's full of spirit and a bit of an imp. Such a difficult loss. I do believe we will see our beloved friends one day again.

Oh dear, I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. These photos show such a loving and loyal companion and friend. I can see your love for him in these also and, most of all, the trust that passed between you. Loss of such a friend is heartbreaking. It seems you only have their love for so short of a time and then they are gone. You have done a beautiful thing with this memorial to Bandy. BTW, Gunsan did a marvelous portrait of My Old Man when I lost him... :-)

My dear friend Jillian, I am very sorry for the loss of your companion as I can understand well, having once lost a cat that was very dear to me. The unconditional love an animal gives is in deed very precious. Thank you for sharing your loss, your pain. Egmont

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. I know how it is, since I just lost my Kiki in December. I had her 21 years. They just worm their way into your heart and become an integral part of your very being. Bless you dear friend. Bunny
