I lost

I lost my rock, my baby girl. She was with me for 13 years. I didn't get to say goodbye. My head hurts from crying, my heart hurts from losing her. I should have gone home sooner to be with her, now I'll never get to see her again.

I am so sorry about your loss. But if she was suffering, she's at peace now. That's the sad thing about dogs, they don't live long enough. I'm here if you want to vent.

god bless your little dog hopefully 13 years are filled with fun filled memories and that`s a great help usually I would say the best thing to do is after a few weeks get another because a loss of a pet leaves a big hole.heaven has another furry friend god bless and take care.

I have two that live with me. One is demanding belly rubs the other is demanding cuddles from the same hand🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m just going to miss her. The hardest part to deal with is that I haven’t seen her in three years and now I’ll never get to...

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog of 15 years and she passed on her birthday. I can tell you it gets easier with time and they will always be there in your memory ❤️

i know how it feels

Oh Honey !! Never cry !! Be thankful that you were blessed for 13 years with such a wonderful companion !! YOU were the light of her life !! What an honor for you !!!

I miss my dog, too. Could never replace her. But, I am so happy I got to watch her learn & grow & Give her smiles, love & biscuits to me !! I know it sounds crazy, but think of all the wonderful times you would have missed, if you had NEVER got to know her !! Grief takes time, but you will do great !!

I am so sorry. It's very hard losing a pet. Been through it several times and are getting ready to have to go through it again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand the depth of the pain. Allow yourself plenty of time to grieve. Through those sad tears you will begin to notice flickers of happy memories. With time you will see more of those memories.

The Rainbow Bridge has a great website to help with your grief. I couldn't have made it through without that support group.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Dogs are so special and I can't imagine how you feel. 13 years is a long time, try and focus on how many special times you shared with your pup!

I am so very very sorry.

My heart aches for you.

Oh how I know this hurts, I’m sorry very sorry, nothing can really help ease your sorrow.

my rock passed about 7 years ago and I still break down even today, but she still lights me up, she’s still here and very much a part of me. I have 2 more dogs, I love them dearly, but there was something about her as if she was an extension of me. I can’t explain it.

Dolphin mentioned the Rainbow Bridge, I had my girl cremated (call me silly) and the Rainbow Bridge poem was sent to me long with her ashes (I haven’t seen the website), but the words in that poem helped tremendously. 💜🌺

This may be the hardest time you will face, but you will face it and get through. We are all here for you. In 2010, I fostered a young pit bull. He was later diagnosed with a birth defect in his brain. I was diagnosed with A&D in 1992 and was having a tough year when I got him. He was so needy. I was so scared to take on the challenge. Well, I did. I took in my Hammie. I cared for him for 5 and 1/2 years. When he became too ill. The shelter left it up to me to decide. I did not know if I could do it. But I had to, because it was what was best. In the 5 and 1/2 years, he changed me. He was my rock.

Your rock crossed the rainbow bridge and is now romping and playing with her mates. I am sure Hammie greeted her. He could not walk when he was on Earth, but I picture him running. He loved the ladies. Here is his page, so you can picture her having friends.

I still cry. I still have his picture as my phone lock screen. I still talk about his beautiful spirit and unending fight to live. You will get through. You will have grown because of her. We all will be here when you need us. XOXOXO

Sorry for your loss, maybe you should seek counseling? Grieving is Grieving. 🙏😷

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s a horrible thing. I lost my baby it’ll be 2 years this past February. I still think of her all the time and miss her so much. It takes a long time. You need to grieve. You’ll see her again. I’m sure of that. She knows you loved her. We’re all here for you! 💕

I am so sorry for your loss. Dogs have a special bond with their humans. They do so much for us. There is a quote from Helen Keller. “What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”. And another by someone else about how great sorrow can only come from great joy. While things are so difficult now I expect you would not want to give up.your time you had with her in exchange for easing the pain now. It hurts so bad because it was so good. That is the downside of love. In time your memories will be cherished.

So true..the bond between animals and their owners is one of a kind.

I lost my Skye two months ago. I could not be with her when they gave her the shot due to the virus. I wish I could have her back. She was 12. I am with you.

I am so sorry to hear this. She is a beautiful girl! I feel sure she definitely knew how very much you loved her! I’ve lost such amazing, special dog friends in my life. (My current dog baby is 12). It’s very real. These are our children - and we are theirs! Sending you {{{hugs}}} and much love. Take good care and know you’re being lifted in prayer.

I'm so very sorry Doglover. I remember the feeling as if my heart

had broke in two. Hang onto the memories. No one can ever take

that away from you. :) xx

What a beautiful dog. They are all special..all animals...

I am so sorry for your loss of your baby. It's incredibly heartbreaking. I love animals more than most people because of the unconditional love they give. I love all animals however am a dog person. We've lost many that's why I understand the grief. Take time and go easy on yourself. Cry as long as you need to..its okay. There's no rushing the grief of your pet, your baby. The first dog I lost I lay on my couch for 2 weeks and literally couldn't move.

I do believe we & everyone who has grieved their pet(s) will be reunited some day.

Please feel free to message me to chat if needed.

Again, my condolences on the loss of your baby.

I’m so very very very sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you. I’m certain your little baby knew how much you loved her. I know your pain. We have lost babies and we have one who is terminally ill now. I’m just so sad that we have to lose these sweet babies. I hope you find peace. ❤️
