My best friend has passed

Always a heartbreaker but after a brief period of time we always get another faithful companion. I know I will have one at my side when it is my time to go.
 
I went through the same thing on Valentine' Day with our little girl Mandy. She was 19, and had been going downhill for about two years. At the end she was deaf and nearly blind, and we had to keep her diapered for about the last four years. But we didn't mind the bother. That morning she started screaming. No other word for it. We took her to the vet and he said there was nothing else he could do for her.
 
I have found that as I get older and more broken, I am more aware of my mortality. It seems to also impact how I view the loss of a pet and its impact on me.
The best tribute to a good pet gone is a successor, which probably needs you as much as you need it.
 
Best Buddy

Sorry for your loss.I lost my little buddy and best friend on January 31st and an still having trouble dealing with it.He was a little Pomeranian that we bought for our daughter and she didn't like him.He obviously felt it and didn't like her back.He went fishing with us,Kayaking,hiking and He loved going on ATV rides!He could look at me and I knew exactly what he was thinking.Hungry,tired,go outside or go for a walk.He was my only semblance of normalcy since I lost my son,one daughter moved to California with her two wonderful boys,other daughter moved to Florida and my wife was diagnosed with Alziemers.Lost my lake house,Sold my hunting land and now it seems waiting to die.These "golden years" have sucked.
 
Sorry for your loss. We lost two in the past six months or so. It does get easier.
 
I didn't know how depressed I was when we had to let Daisy go. Until I got my Angel. (I made record time driving out to Columbus, Ohio!) I will never yell at her when she's camped out under my feet, because one day one of us isn't going to be here.
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
 
I am very sorry for your loss.Other than my wife and kids and grandkids I am more attached to my dogs than most people.You will see your best friend on the other side.
