Except they don't answer back... and when you're upset they care.

Re: Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend

I am so sorry for your loss. The crappy thing sometimes about having dogs is that we almost always out live them. I would not trade them for anything in the world and I will take the pain of losing them in the future to have the wonderful times with them now.

Re: Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend

Always been my opinion that God messed up big time with the whole people years/dog years thing...

my sympathies, glad you are feeling a bit better.

Re: Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend

Sorry for your loss.

We lost our Missy and Ling almost 5 years ago, yet it seems like they've only been gone a few weeks. It still hurts. They were 16 and 14, and died exactly 4 weeks apart...

This was from when they were younger and more energetic.

Re: Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend

I'm sorry for your loss. It may not be top of your mind right now...but I've found the earlier suggestion to find a new furry friend has been the truest path to healing from this.

Either way, take solace in the good times you had!
