My shadow for 13 years is left me yesterday. She’s in a better place and is no longer hurting. I can’t even think of something eloquent and lovely to describe what an amazing dog she was right now because my heart is just broken.

You’ll be missed, baby girl. I love you.

Jamie, I’m so sorry. The pain of loosing a pet is awful and I consider it one of the great injustices of the world that our pets do not have the same life span as our own. HUGS

Oh, sweetie. Losing a beloved pet is one of the hardest things out there, especially because people don’t understand what it is like to grieve for one of your best friends like that.
Big hugs.

This is so awful to hear. The fact that she was yours for so long makes it even harder, but that same fact also means that she was one of those rare lucky puppies with a stable, lifelong, loving companion. Take as much comfort as you can in knowing how wonderful you made her life, and let your other doggies help you through it.
Most importantly, though, let yourself feel as sad as you need to. Dogs let us experience simple, uncomplicated–and therefore, total–love, so it only makes sense to feel total grief when they leave.

So sorry.
We also recently lost a family member of the pet variaty. Hope this message brings you some comfort as it did me:
God Bless Our Pets;
They say memories are golden.
Well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories.
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you.
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you.
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly.
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place.
No one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway.
And heartache made a lane.
I’d walk the path to heaven.
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken.
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one.
The chain will link again

[...] After losing Princess last summer, I’ve become terrified of something happening to Edie. I worry she will manage to slip out the front door or someone will leave the gate open and she will run away. Every time she doesn’t seem to be feeling well, I get anxious. I know Edie at a year and a half is a much different case health-wise than Princess at 13 years but I can’t help it. [...]
