Rick, my thoughts are with you, she’s a beautiful girl. It’s really quite amazing how they hang around, for us. And when we release them, they go.

It is a bond that can never be broken, not by time, not by distance, not even by death. We are lucky people.

My Elvis passed away at home this morning. She was 14 years old. The last couple of months have been good and bad for her. I knew it was getting to be her time to say goodbye. I was not ready, but last night when she went ot bed, I looked into her eyes. I told her it was OK if she had to go, at 3 AM I woke up and she was not in her bed. I went to the living room and she was gone.
I have never cried so hard in all my life. I have lost numerous human friends and both of my parents. This has been the hardest day of my life.
I know she is happier and waiting for me, I still miss her so.
Thank you for having this place to try and cope with all of our losses.
Rick
RIP Elvis I am missing her so much…….

To Jen- My deepest sympathy to you. I also lost my beloved dog (age 15) 2 days ago. I am in mourning. Everything reminds me of him.
Bailey was your first dog- don’t be ashamed to mourn. Anyone who doesn’t understand you has never experienced the unconditional love of a dog. Sara

I lost my beloved golden retriever and first dog, Bailey, 4 days ago and am simply bereft in my grief. Like Cato’s story, the vet told me that they would open Bailey up, and depending on the existence and virulence of cancer, would leave it up to me to make the decision to euthanize him. I sat in the waiting room knowing that as hard as it was to sit there waiting, that the toughest decision may still be before me yet. When the vet came in with tears in her eyes and told me that my poor Bailey’s heart had stopped right before the operation could begin, she left me with 6 words that I will never forget – “He made the decision for you.” Even up to the end, my bull-headed, stubborn and affectionate buddy was looking out for me, knowing that such a decision would tear me apart. My Bailey died with a team of vets and techs surrouding him, and with me and my husband raining tears of love on his sweet head.

THIS IS MY SONG TO MY BELOVED BOO PLEASE POST IT IF YOU LIKE IT.
thank you, nascarlvr1818@yahoo.com
——————————————-
BOO I’VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO
I held your paw inside my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how do to fill the emptiness inside
Without love what is life?

And anyone who knew us both can see
We always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free
All this pain, does it go away?

Then every time I turn around
And youre nowhere to be found
I know I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
To you Boo, to you

From memory, there is no hiding place
Turn on the tv and I see you there
In every crowd theres always some dog with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care

To you, I wish you peace and everything
And all the best that Heaven can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh
And even though I feel the pain
I know that I will love again
The time will come, oh, and Ill move on

I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, long way to go, got a long way to go
Before I can say goodbye, before I say goodbye
To all I ever knew, to all I ever knew was you
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Boo my baby Girl, I wish you the best in your journey to heaven I know,
oh and all of the rest, and peace to you
I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you

We had to put down our German Shepherd, Kimba , one month ago.

She was 10 and the light of my heart….i lost my parents when I was young…my grandparents…nothing was like the grief that I have experienced over Kimba Marie…
A dog can touch your heart…in so many ways…
I experienced so much more of life because of her
i loved so much more deeply because of her
I am happy for the memories that we had together
The unconditional love…I will never forget it.
