  I am so sorry for your loss. I lost mine in 2010 and was heartbroken. They give us unconditional love and touch a special place in our heart and soul.

  How very sad. I'm sorry. It's heartbreaking to lose a beloved pet.

  A quote from a favorite author...
  "Dogs' lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware that it comes with an unbearable price. Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and the mistakes we make because of those illusions."

  "Watchers", by Dean Koontz (above author), is a wonderful dog story. I've read it twice.

  oh, no. I'm soooo sorry. I've never gotten over the loss of my Pyrenees 3-1/2 years ago. Even having my two Newfoundlands hasn't fully healed my broken heart.

  Man's best friend. A New Jersey dealer told me about some raw gold coins he put out and his dog did a number on them with his teeth! Ouch. You have to watch some dogs like kids like a hawk.

  Sorry for your loss. It transcends all of our hobbies and pastimes when our little companions leave us.
  Lost Milo our Boston 15 months ago which was crushing, and now Sparky (the Dogwood Icon Model) has a final vet appointment tomorrow as she’s lost all cognitive function.

  But the that’s why, when it’s the right time, there’s nothing as sweet as a box of puppies.

  They just sit there and love us.
  When we lost Charlie (a Maltese) I figured we'd never get another.
  Today we have 2 Coton Du tuliers.
  They are crazy, and great, but I still miss Charlie, after 10 + years.

  Making that decision to end the life of your beloved pet is the hardest decision I have EVER had to make. But you hate to see them in obvious pain (even though they cannot tell you), but you have to do what is best for them. I will miss her terribly, but as someone told me " don't cry because it is over, but smile because it happened".

  Condolences. Pets always take an important role in our lives even when we don't plan it that way. Best remedy IMO is to get a shelter dog that will appreciate your company as well.

  If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

  It's a sad situation to deal with, though there are the years of positive times left behind.

  This old poem comes to mind:
  .
  .

  INNER STRENGTH

  If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,

  If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

  If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

  If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,

  If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,

  If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,

  If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

  If you can face the world without lies and deceit,

  If you can conquer tension without medical help,

  If you can relax without liquor,

  If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

  Then you are probably a dog.
