oh i'm so sorry !! i swear those fur babies are real people too !! i had to put my fur baby to sleep a couple of years ago and i was 26 and had had her since i was 12. so i know how painful it can be :-( ... i know everyone's experiences are different but the sadness is still there ... i'm so sorry about your loss dear ...

i cried every day for awhile ... it's almost like a people loss, so take your time to heal ...and your baby looked precious in the picture ... he looks like you guys took the best care of him ... he was one lucky doggie !!

Reading your message brought back all the sadness from when I had to put my dog down last year due to an awful illness. You will always be sad at the thought of your pooch but you will remember the happy times too. Stay strong through this time but let yourself cry when you need it.

I hope you are feeling a little better everyday and know that he had a great life with you...

Ladies thank you. we are all doing alittle better today with everything. My oldest dd picked flowers to put on his grave and my youngest dd is looking for that perfect stone to make to marker.... there have been some tears but some smiles and sub-dued (sp?)laughs so acceptance is coming but still in process... I truly appreciated everyone kind thoughts and words. we all shared a long and happy life together as a family....and he def was part of the family...thank you all ...

So sorry to hear about your loss. As someone who has 2 dogs, I can not bare the thought of the unavoidable day when I too will have to say my forever goodbyes with my boys on this planet. Just take comfort in knowing that one day you will be reunited again with your dear friend.

My thoughts are with you and your family.....

I appreciate your kind words and thoughts and that is exactly what I have told my DDs and remind myself too. That he is with other loved ones now who are taking care of him and we will all be together again some day. It has been better today but the house is so quiet, which seems strange because he wasn't a loud dog by any means( he rarely barked and sort of just ambled along in his laid back way always there though) but it still seems so quiet and alittle empty now... again thank you...
