Joop's Dog Log - Monday August 08 (final)

Joop passed away this morning. His job is done.
The cancer was spreading, there was no hope left.
In our hearts he is alive for always and forever.

I am so sorry to hear this. I haven't checked in for a while and now I'm sorry I hadn't My heart goes out to you in your loss, I know he was part of your family. I will miss him and his sweet kind face... I wish I could say that time will heal, but in this case I don't believe it, time just softens the pain and loss. Again, sorry to hear of Joop's passing...

I haven't checked in with Joop in a while due to computer problems. I am so sorry he died. You really loved him and you shared your love with all of us. You did a great job in this photo. Our family sends its love to you.

I only heard about Joop's Dog Log after he was gone. When I found the website I got so caught up that I had to start at the beginning and follow his adventures with Henk. Even though I knew it was coming, I still cried when I got to the last page. His happy face and adventurous spirit live on in these images. My heart goes out to Henk and family for their loss. Blessed be

Sorry to hear this sad, sad news. I really loved Joop's entries and he gave me many good laughs. I'm sure his spirit will live on forever!

I will miss Joop.

Guest		11-Aug-2005 20:54
It is so sad to hear of your loss. I always enjoyed hearing of his adventures. Thank you for sharing a bit of his life with all of us!

Guest		11-Aug-2005 19:18
Joop was a lucky dog to have you and I'm glad I got to know him through your PaD. I will miss him dearly.

Guest		11-Aug-2005 19:16
hasta siempre joops

Guest		11-Aug-2005 18:26

Sterkte met het verlies van Joop. En bedankt dat je zijn belevenissen en jouw gedachten met ons hebt willen delen.

I share your sorrow and will always treasure the memories of Joop. Thanks for sharing Joop with all of us. He surely was an inspiration.

Sandra Lester		10-Aug-2005 20:49
I just stopped by to see what Joop was up to, since this busy summer has deterred my daily visits. I too, am sitting at my desk on the other side of the world mourning for a dog I have grown to love through photos and adventure. Henk, it's been through your love for Joop and the wonderful life he had with you and your family that so many of us have found so much joy. I will miss Joop always and treasure the gift you gave us all through this Log. Thank you.

Peter Bowden		10-Aug-2005 17:52
Thanks Joop for all the smiles.

Kam Yee		10-Aug-2005 05:29
Didn't expect this final day comes so soon. I though Joop could stay a little longer. Thank you for sharing him with us. He will stay in my memory.

Ah, so sad to hear the news :( It's sad, I know, I let go of my two ol' boys not too long ago. My heart goes out to you both. Thank you so very very much for sharing your adventures with Joop with us all. A dog well-loved is a contented happy dog. I know there was a lot of unconditional love there, going in both directions. And it's all samsara, isn't it?.....birth, life, death, rebirth. Joop will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, ... Until you meet again, keep the many happy memories of him close to your hearts. Thank you again for sharing with us, hugs to you both.

Henk Binnendijk		09-Aug-2005 08:33
Thank you all so much for your support. We had never realized Joop has touched so many friends. Your kind messages are a comfort while we're trying to pick up our life... I'm sure Joop sends a round of paws and a big lick for you all. - Henk

Diana		09-Aug-2005 05:14
Dearest Joop, you have brightened my days and I will miss you terribly. I am glad you had such wonderful humans, and such a fun-filled (and cookie-filled) life. You have left us better for knowing you. I know your humans mourn your loss profoundly, and I know you have left a hole in their hearts. And mine.

Guest		09-Aug-2005 01:52
I share your tears. I will miss him although I never met him, but I'm thankful that he has been spared any further pain. I had hoped that we would share one more birthday with him, but Life has its own timetable. Joop -- you were a fine friend, and a good judge of cookies. Henk and family -- thank you for sharing your friend with the rest of us, and know that we share a sense of loss -- today's image is a fitting finale -- Joop is up ahead, leading the way up a path to an unknown future -- tail up, smiling in anticipation of the good things to come... CJ

We've been there, too, for a couple of dogs. It hurts - it hurts. But only the physical relationship is broken - the love stays with you. You have our love and best wishes. Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really. - Agnes Sligh Turnbull

Cheryl Hawkins		09-Aug-2005 00:25
We had to make the same decision for our 15+-year-old today. It has been a day of sadness, but we are also glad that her pain is over. My heart goes out to you and your family. Joop is still with you.

Guest		08-Aug-2005 22:50
I linked here from a friend...What a fun life Joop has had, so many adventures...Sleep peacefully little guy. Diana

Jackdad		08-Aug-2005 22:49
Sorry to hear about your loss. It's very hard to lose a loyal and beloved friend and companion. I'm quite sure Joop died happy and contented, knowing he was loved.

Guest		08-Aug-2005 21:41
My heart hurts for you and your family. Rest assured your dear friend will see you again in better days. Rest In peace Joop.

Rene Hales		08-Aug-2005 20:09
So sorry to hear of Joop's passing. I know he has green pastures before him. You and your wife are in my thoughts.--Rene

Guest		08-Aug-2005 19:06

How very sad I will miss him dearly. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Guest		08-Aug-2005 18:04
How sad...he will be missed by many.

bela45		08-Aug-2005 17:30
Oh my little friend, here I am in tears, I am so so sad!!!!! You gave me so much, my dear Joop, every human on this Earth of ours should have the priviledge to have met you. Thank you So long, Joop We'll meet again, wait for me at Rainbow Bridge.... My thoughts are with you and your family Henk, this must be terribly sad for you , you are indeed very special Humans.

Jeff Marks		08-Aug-2005 17:07
How beautiful it was to share Joop with us; the joy, the happiness, the intrigue, the mischief....and now the tears. Oh I'm really really going to miss the fella, I truly am. What dog could have asked for more perfect humans and therefore a more perfect life? My heart aches. Jeff

Stephanie/Tucson		08-Aug-2005 16:22
What wonderful humans you are. Joop was and remains lucky to have had you as his for however long he was on the earth. He is eternal. May you not suffer long for missing him. May new love and joy come to you when the time is right. You've been great models of love and respect for our non-human companions. I've admired you both from afar. Take the best care of yourself. Joop, and therefore you, will be remembered and thought of with smiles. Perhaps one day, you'll post again to let us know how you are doing. With tears and gratitude, SS

Craig		08-Aug-2005 16:11
Henk, my girlfriend called me at work crying that Joop had passed away, and I'm sitting at my desk with tears in my eyes. You gave that dog the most wonderful life any perro could have had. He will be missed.

Herb		08-Aug-2005 15:36
We are going to miss him,farewell Joop

Argishti Khachik		08-Aug-2005 14:58
I am really very sorry for your loss! He "IS" a very lovely and cute dog, Henk! Be strong. You gave him really the best life what a dog can dream of. Respect. Cheers my friend!

Wendy O		08-Aug-2005 14:06
Henk, my thoughts are with you and your wife. Joop made friends all over the world, his joy and philosophies will be missed terribly by many people. I think you gave him the best life any dog could have. My love to you. http://www.indigo.org/rainbowbridge_ver2.html

Guest		08-Aug-2005 13:17
If it should be... If it should be that I grow frail and weak, and pain should keep me from my sleep, Then you must do, what must be done, for this last battle cannot be won. You'll be sad - I understand, Don't let your grief stay your hand, For this day, more than all the rest, your love and firendship stand the test. We've had so many happy years, What is to come can have no fears, You'd not want me to suffer so, when the time comes, please let me go. Take me where my needs they'll tend, Only stay with me until the end, And hold me firm and speak to me, Until my eeys no longer see. I know in time that you will see, It is kindness you do to me. Although my tail, it's last has "waved", from pain and suffering I've been saved. Don't grieve that it should be you, Who has to decide this thing to do, We've been so close, we two, these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Someone gave me this when my beloved Percy went to doggy heaven to play with his friends and chase squirrels, having had a massive tumour in his chest. I bawled my eyes out but even now it gives me comfort. I hope it will do the same for you.

g_dub		08-Aug-2005 13:04
All the best to you and your wife. Great webpage. We all felt like we lost something here.

joanteno		08-Aug-2005 12:38
So sorry to hear.. This is the perfect picture..

Guest		08-Aug-2005 11:34
Oh my heart goes out to you. I know that Joop could not of had a better life. Joop will live in our minds forever. May God touch you today with a special peace.

Guest		08-Aug-2005 11:33
I don't know what else to say, other than how sorry I am. He will truly be missed by many, many people and from all around the world. He's left quite an impression on all of us.

Yvonne		08-Aug-2005 09:05
Oh how terrible! We've been through it too, our little dear had cancer that spread and we had to make that awful choice. She's been gone a year now, but we still miss her terribly. So sorry Henk.
