She didn't make it
I posted awhile ago about my Doxie, Angel. Just before we were going to leave for the vet, she died. My heart is broken. I'm going to miss her so much. We'll be together again Angel. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. Have lost a couple of beloved pets in my life, and at least blessed with the memories of their companionship. Have a Beagle now that I love like a child, as I know our time together is too short.

Misty,
I know how this hurts.
The only times in my adult life that I have broken down a cried was at the loss of a critter I had come to love. There's been lots of them.
From your picture, it is clear that Angel as had a very happy and healthy life since being rescued. You two were obviously well suited for each other.
The hurt will go away, but the memories of a wonderful time shared together won't.
Hang in there Gal!

I am sorry to hear about that Misty. Pets give so much to a family and ask very little in return. They are always missed when they pass.

Sorry for your loss. I have a yellow lab that is 12 and I dread the day coming. They do truly become family, and after knowing Aries (my dog), I sometimes wonder just which one of us is the owner and which one is the pet. I truly don't feel superior in any way to him. When a pet dies like this, I think the next one assumes some of the others personality. When Aries runs rabbits, he sounds exactly like the rat terrier we had before him. Uncannily similar.
You will see her again. She would not want you to be sad.
Peace,
gordon

As I tell my daughter, being heartbroken is the price you pay for loving them so hard. She'll be waiting for you one day.

Having lost a couple pets over my lifetime I feel your pain. You can never really replace them as they are all individuals.

I have had 5 Golden Retrievers over the last 33 years so I know exactly how you feel, as I have been there myself 4 times. Sorry to hear of your loss. The best medicine is, WHEN YOU ARE READY, find a new furry friend. It will not replace the one you just lost, nor will it be the same, but a new pet will soon become ANOTHER BEST FRIEND.
Sincerely,
chief38

Misty, Sorry for your loss.
When I was 16 I had to take my dog Ticker for her last ride to the Vet. She passed on the way. I was devastated but felt her last gift to me was not leaving this 16yr old kid w/the guilt of having to complete that particular trip.
At some point your tears for Angel will become a smile.
Take Care, Kevin

Oh man Misty!
I am really sorry to hear that. You were there for me when my buddy passed away last fall, and I'll be here for you if you need anything. I sure understand how you are feeling, 'cause I still feel it myself. God bless you sister.

Misty,
I found your first request and then found this post. Allow me to offer my condolences.
I recently lost "my old cat" after 21 years, and I can relate to your feelings of loss.
May you find peace, and the Rainbow Bridge has something for all us.

My sympathy Misty. I also have a pet, and I dread this day I know will come.
But I have a little tale that perhaps will sooth your pain a bit.
Jim Corbett, who killed several man eaters in India in the thirties, had also a pet called Robin that used to go in outings with him. Robin had a faint heart and when he died Jim wrote that he was certain that Robin would be waiting for him in the Happy Hunting Grounds.I guess this feeling helped him to overcome the pain.
Best Regards and sorry for your loss.

Misty, I haven't cried in 3 years and before that not since My first born child came into this world. What I cried about 3 years ago was when my Lab Bubba died. Prayers are with you.

Thanks for all the condolences and kind words. I'm not taking it good at all. I cry until I can't cry any more, then I start all over again. I love my other Doxie, Molly, with all my heart. As I did with Angel. But I felt the need to show it more with Angel. Knowing she had a hard life made me want to give her extra love and attention. Maybe that's why I'm taking it harder than I imagined I would. She deserved to have the love and attention for so much longer than this. Plus it happened so suddenly. The evenings and mornings will be especially hard. Every morning I would lie in bed with a cup of coffee and my laptop. About the time I finished my coffee, Angel would wake up and need to go outside. The she would wait patiently for me to get dressed and teeth brushed, and then it was her breakfast time. Of course, after eating, she would get into her little bed next to my chair and go back to sleep. It was a routine. Molly isn't an early bird. She would stay in bed for awhile longer. But every morning, without fail, Angel and I would go through the same routine. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning. Or this evening. But I can't imagine it being any worse than it is right now. I just want the hurt to go away. Thank you all for being here for me. I'll get through this. I have to. Molly is depending on me.

Misty, you are in my prayers. I know exactly how you feel - I have lost two in the last three months. I guess it gets easier after some time has passed but I still hear my last one and occasionally look up to see him. They will all be waiting on the other side of the bridge.

Misty,
I am so sorry to read this news. Doxies will worm their way into your heart and never leave it. It's been 50 years since I lost my Fritz, and I still miss the little fella. My sincere condolences. I wish there were anything I could do.

Misty,
I know how you feel. I nursed a diabetic dog for over a year before it was hopeless and I was sure he was in pain.
It was time, remember the good times and we will see our furry friends again when we join up again on the other side.

Sorry for the loss of your beautiful Angel. Misty, our prayers are answered but not always the way we want. Maybe He wants a four legged Angel with Him.
I'll pray for you now.
