I am incredibly sorry for your loss.

It sounds as if you had a wonderful life together. Letting them go when they need to is is one of the hardest things. But it is the right one.

Condolences for your loss

I send my condolences. I, too, love dogs. And I have had them die on me. It's a real loss. It helps, though, to get another dog, especially a puppy full of life and energy. I wish you the best.

I lost my beloved Poochie when she was seventeen. The best solution is to find another canine friend. Now Lily is my best friend. She's about five now and still acts like a puppy.

My condolences

Best Friends of Humans... each had brought me a lot of Joy and Good Memories... Remember the Good Times.... Sorry for your Loss.

i am awfully sorry.

I understand your pain

I bet this won't help you, but I will write it anyway: I understand. Really. I do.
When my very best friend (Wency, a puertorrican "sato" ) died of cancer 4 years ago, I felt a void, an emptiness, I have only felt when my father and (recently) my mother died. So, I do know what you feel.
In my case, I wrote a book for children, which was/is dedicated to him. (In Spanish: "El Otro Principito" ). That was my tribute. I don't think many people have read it, but I don't care. The book was written for him, my friend, my brother, my dog.
Thanks for sharing your feelings with us.

Only a special kind of person could write with such emotion about a special friend of another species having passed. You have brought back special memories for me and I salute you sir.

Goodbye Buddy

I am so sorry to read of your loss.
Hopefully your many good memories will offer solace to you.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. They never live long enough.

Losing your Dog:
“Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives.” John Galsworthy.

One of my favorite quotes: "It has been said that time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. Time - the mind, protecting its sanity - covers them with some scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone. - Rose Kennedy.

I feel your loss. The wonderful thing is he still lives in your memory. He just changed his residence.

I have two rescues now. One I’ve had for six years and he’s 9/10 (Wilbur) the other I just got over a month ago and she’s about 3 (Daisy). Wilbur has been my constant companion quote literally everyday for the past 6 years it’s rare for us to be apart for more than a day or two. When his time comes I hope I can be as brave and kind as you were. Thank you for sharing. Do you have any pictures of Buddy you can share??
