Phil 🖤 When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eye all filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, though I know your heart aches so,
But remember it was for the best....it was my time to go,
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you
and each time you're thinking of me I know you'll miss me too
When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
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 will be sad, I understand, don't let your grief then stay your hand
for this day more than all the rest, your love and friendship stands the test
We have had so many happy years, what is to come can hold no fears
take me where my needs they'll tend, only stay with me until the end
hold me firm and speak to me, until my eyes no longer see
I know in time that you will see, it is a kindness that you do to me,
although my tail it's last has waved, from pain and suffering I have been saved
Do not grieve, it should be you who decides this thing to do,
we've been so close we these years, please don't let your heart hold any tears.
Phil 2013-14
From the beginning to the end, I write this with tears, but what mattered most of all is the dash between those years, for it represents all the time you spent with us here on earth and now only those that loved you know what that little line is worth. Forever ours
Phil was surrounded by those he loved and held in a warm embrace. The whirlwind of emotions are hard to express, the desire to somehow do justice to Phil in a send off can't be met. This video is a struggle to compile, to edit, to type, I hide behind a screen unable to truly share grief but feel an obligation to notify you. My eyes hurt, I feel numb, the house feels empty, my heart heavy and a piece of us missing. Everything a reminder, the pets acting strange Amelia is distraught. Never has a dog been loved and touched as many people. The impact he has had is astonishing and we owe so much more to him than just a pet. Phil became everyone's dog but first and foremost he was our family, a dog with too big a heart to contain we chose to share him with the world. Taking the time to grieve and try to heal in secret faced with the closing walls of having to tell the world only grieve again. I hope you can respect enough not to cast judgement. I don't want to do this, I don't want comments but I know people will want a space to share their memories or messages. Phil was loved to no end and I hope that was and forever will be evident. We didn't take no for an answer, we never have, we pushed on and did everything physically possible to help our boy but there was only so much time we had before it became unfair. We travelled to an emergency specialist with him for second opinion. Phil suddenly started collapsing, within 12 hours he had lost the use of all 4 legs. He was refusing to go to the toilet which was causing unimaginable discomfort. We tried to express bladder and bowels but he was fighting back, he was tired, I believe he was telling us that he didn't want to do this any more.
Whilst I'm against euthanasia as a whole, there was no option. It breaks me to tell you Phil had everything from a CT scan to MRI and everything in between above the port of call concluding that there was nothing found. His heart lungs and organs were sound, He was mentally there and the vet said he couldn't be in pain as he was on high levels of pain medication and you couldn't replicate any area of pain yet Phil still cried for us. We struggled for one night with Phil between tests and he would not rest, he couldn't move, we had to move him. We created a hoist with clothes and had to physically hoist him outside and try to hover him over the grass to go to the toilet, he refused, we didn't stop trying. This was extremely difficult that 2 adults couldn't manage. He couldn't bear any weight on any leg, they were paralysed. I believe he was ready. At 10 years and 9 months I wasn't, I never will be.
It was concluded that Phills nerves had detached from his spinal chord and there wasn't a surgery that could fix as the cause was a degenerative shrinking of his spine. By this stage he would have weeks/maybe months left until his lungs slowly became paralysed. Phil wasn't in pain as the specialist relived pain, his bladder and his bowels medically so clinically there was no discomfort yet he continued to cry when he looked at us, while we held him and looked into his eyes telling him how much we loved him. He was frustrated and asked for one last act of kindness. In all the love and every ounce of kindness and compassion I had I told him how much he meant to me, our family, the world, told him my heart always has a place and that we will eventually meet again. Thank you Phil rest easy old boy.

[@ashleys4652]

I have never been so heartbroken for a dog I have never met. And yet I knew him. We all did. We felt his big, joyful heart and the love that he had for his family. Those soulful eyes and that Philly Boy face and spirit were made for video and to be shared with the world. Thank you for doing that! You brought us all so much joy! Every time I would see a video post it would be an immediate click to see the beautiful and majestic Phil. Please take comfort, in time, that he knew he was so loved and you WILL see him again. This was a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing your boy with us. ❤🙏

My 13 year old lab lost his hindlegs after 1 year of liver cancer, probably due to an episode of tick fever. We used to lift him up with rear leg braces (like a perforated cloth bag through which his legs would pass) and he lived for the next 6 months till he eventually died in my arms from cancer. I could never let him go...We had a quiet word, the two of us, and I told him, "I am doing everything I can to reduce your suffering, buddy. You just got to hang on there for me..." And he understood the plan. He lived a full life, went for his minimal walks with me and gave me whatever time he had. That's my Marmaduke ❤

[@cinemaipswich4636]

[@user-he4ee6bb5p]

I am a big burly guy, mid 40's, ex-cop and construction contractor. I have skin as thick as steel and I never cry. The only exception was when my dog died. It was February 19, 2024 when Cocoa, by beagle buddy of 14 years closed his eyes for the last time. I've never cried until that day and even thinking about it now and reading your beautiful poem brings tears to me cold hard soul. I am a dog lover and realized that they have a very important role in our lives. They listen to everything you have to say, they never judge you for what you tell them, they always think you're the greatest even when you're not, and they are always faithful to you. I now have a beautiful baby puppy, Bella, who is only 4 months old. Yet I know in my heart that her day will also likely come before mine. My wife asked me why I would ever willingly go through the pain of having another dog when Cocoa broke my cold hard heart. I told her because I had 14 years of the greatest times with him and to be broken hearted over his loss for a short time is a really good return on investment. I don't believe it is by accident that dog spelled backwards is God, because I believe that next to your family a dog is the greatest gift from God.

[@edwardmylnychuk5774]

that is so true, it hurts me to see animals suffering because their owners are so attached they cant do the right thing. as much as i hurt like hell i had to put my last dog down because he got sick on something and he was at my moms while i was in the city coming during the week and visiting on weekends and i could see in his eyes he was suffering so when i took him to the vets he looked at me as if to say thank you, of all the animals i had i miss him and a cat that i had to put down also, he was my best bud in a bad relationship and in the winter we would wrestle in the snow together and play tug of war with a rope, watching these vids brings tears sometimes as the love they have for you is so great.

I found myself back on the story of Phil, I love his story and the magic you all had together. God Bless and thinking of you.

[@user-lg2de8pl9o]

Just learned of Phils journey across the Rainbow Bridge. He was a gentle giant whom brought so many happiness from a far. I can understsnd your pain, and emptiness having just put my K9 Search snd Rescue Partner after 8 yrs together due to unexpected seizure activities. Always cherish the memories, the laughs, the love and a irreplaceable bond. Godspeed,Phil. Just known hes always with you in your heart.

I got in this channel Mainly because of Phil. He was so sweet and cuddly spite the loss of fur. I hope you guys and every fan of this wonderful dog will be all right in time.

I can't tell how many times Phil has brightened my day watching him over the years. From all around the world, he will be missed.

God bless you, Phil. He was the star of the show.

[@htmc2022]

Phil ❤ was so handsome & so kind - such a sweetheart! Heartbreaking.

[@bevquillen8846]

Last October the same thing happened to our Great Dane Keegan. He was almost 12, quite old for a Dane but its never long enough. We we blessed to have him in our lives, as you were with Phil.

[@jeffwynings3782]

To every dog I've ever owned: I love you and I miss you.

[@bobbierocksbuster5584]

For me "owned" is the wrong word, I always say "life and love I've shared"

[@Nebarus]

Dear Philly bear, thank you for your endless love and kindness to all others, to ensuring your family was safe and loved, to teaching us that baths with clean water and soap are bad, that food is good and should be consumed without reservation at all times, that grandpa's are great and Milo cats should be treated carefully. For teaching me that pure souls exist, and they will be loved forever! In heaven you are home, dearest Philly bear! No stronger words can be said from me than; "You have been and is eternally loved!" RIP Phil!

[@amberauger7724]

I've been where you are and will again its heart breaking yes but the memories are seriously priceless

[@sharon_rose724]

So would I! Sometimes I'd switch it up to PHILLIP!!! 🐶💕

[@frederickmoller]

Phil is the reason that I joined your channel, today I made my first You Tube Memorial favourites with Phil being the first one....I miss You Phil!

[@martitasez]

Bless Phil! He was so special! RIP PHILLY BEAR! Thank you for sharing him with us. Hugs to your family during this hard time🤗❤

[@NERDYDOGOFFICIAL]

I sometimes with they could live forever, but then I realize I can give another pup in need a great life and do it over again until my life is over.

[@user-zs8td1dr8n]

I forgot to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing Phil's story. I was too emotional being 68 years old i still can be when my heart and soul are touched, but i don't mind. Bless!
