My best friend has passed

[Doug627]

People that do not have animal companions do not understand the relationships or the loss.

I often look at my current dog and ponder on why we love them so much. I mean they're just an animal, not human, just a living 4 legged creature that hangs around and needs to be fed and often times groomed.

We have to bathe them, take them in for expensive shots and we spend our hard earned money buying toys and fluffy beds for them. Why?

Well, I think it's because they love us for no reason at all really. I mean we don't have to do anything, but be kind to them for a dog to love us back. They love it when we feed them, scratch their belly or show them any attention at all. They seem to adore us for just being there sometimes.

I've really lost count on the number of dogs (and cats) that have been an important part of my life all these 65 years I've lived. I don't understand why their lifespans are so comparatively short either. But it's never stopped me from finding another happy little four legged critter to share my days with.

I am sincerely sorry about your loss Chuck, and I truly feel the pain of loss you are going through right now and understand it completely. It sucks big time.

I pray you soon find it in your heart to rescue another 4 legs, to brighten both your and their lives! I cannot imagine going through the rest of my life without looking into the loving and adoring eyes of a dog each day. They are a special gift from God.

Another passed on dog post… :’(

Hate this. I’ve loved Chihuahuas ever since the Taco Bell ads from the 1990s. I’m so sorry for your loss. But remember, death is not the end.

It has been 10 years since we lost Snuggles, my avatar. I know your pain. I am asking you from the bottom of my heart, with tears streaming down my cheeks that the best thing you can do is get another shelter mix dog or puppy.

You will be happier, your heart will feel "dog joy" again over the simple things. You will give a deserving animal a joyous life they deserve. Your new dog may even steal your heart, at the very least joy will return to your life.

I know your sorrow and feel your pain.

I am so sorry for your loss.

My animals have been my best friends, all my life. You will never find anything or anyone more loyal then a good dog or a good cat (yes, they can be awesome too).

I've lost some over the years, mostly due to age or health issues, but they were so very loved, and I by them.

I am also sure there is another dog out there who could use a lot of love and a good home. I've never looked at it as "replacing" my lost friends over the years, but saving a new one.

Life is too short to be without the love of a good animal.

I hope you heal with time. It's never easy.

We love them because a man could not have a more faithful friend, through thick and thin.

I've had many human friends who have let me down. My animals never have.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[JohnRippert]

Very sorry to hear about your loss. We miss our fur babies as well here, after losing the last one back in December. Hopefully you will find another to help with the healing.

My sympathies.

We’re struggling about whether it’s time to have our 16 year old blue Lacy down.

Sad to read of the loss with your family...
