I'm so sorry you've lost your best friend 😪 because that's what they are. We lost Alfie (profile pic) 2022. We battled for a week to save him, but unfortunately we had to make that horrible decision. There are sites where you can get a memorial frame for their picture with your own words. Helped me a little. I wish you the utmost best and good wishes at this terrible time. 😒

Oh I’m so very sorry Osha. That’s so sad. Our pets mean so much and it’s hard to let them go. You did the right thing and Molly’s at peace now.

Thinking of you and sending hugs. Xxx🤗❤️

That's the thing with pets they become part of the family.

Last night when I was out in the village at the carol concert there were families there with their dogs as they consider the dog as a family member!

My heart goes out to you. It’s so sad and hard losing your fur baby and best friend especially your first. I wish they lived longer lives. I’ve lost my faithful fur babies in the past and it’s heartbreaking but it does get easier, I still have pictures of them in my home and remembrance plaques in the garden. Time is a great healer.

Take care

Oh so sorry. I lost one of my pets around a Christmas and somehow that time of year just made it even harder to bear. I am sure your Molly would have known how much she was loved and cared for. Pets are such a joy but then our pain hits us hard even though we have to do the right thing and help them out of illness. Molly will forever be in your heart and you must take time to grieve and recover. Different for everyone. By kind to yourself and take care. xx

I am so sorry. I lost mine some years back and I still miss them, talk about them and think about them every day. The memories now raise more smiles than tears - but the sadness can still catch me unawares. Sending you best wishes.

There's lots of dogs around called Molly isn't there?

I'm sorry to hear that your Molly died and it always seems worse all because it's coming up to Christmas when these things happen!

Years ago at a previous job one of the supervisors had a jack russell called Molly!

OSHA you poor love. I know your pain. I am so so very sorry to hear you’ve lost your dear dog. I’ve had dogs for the last 60 years and it doesn’t get any easier. Bless their hearts they don’t say a word but the house is so quiet when they’ve gone. Our next dog never replaced the one that we’d lost but we call it ‘passing the baton’. Another little dog to love and to love us and guard their house and love their garden. If you are thinking of getting another one one dsy then sooner rather than later can help with your pain and loss. But we’re all different and you must do what you can and what u must to get through these painful times. We all understand and here for you 24/7. Take care. 🦊x

I'm so sorry Molly has gone. It breaks my heart their wee lives are so short. Pets are special, wonderful, they are family. I didnt understand this, as I always thought I was allergic to animals, but looked after a friend's JR, and that was that! Next visit was the Cat and Dog home and got Menace. X

Dear Osha I send my sincerest condolences on the loss of your dog. Dogs are hugely special in our lives with their gift of unconditional love and affection, and it goes without saying that when we give and receive such love it enriches our life no end. So at their parting, the price we pay for love is grief. But slowly grief heals and the legacy they left of loving, if we carry it forward both loving ourselves and others wisely helps the recovery .

I am so sorry Osha. It is incredibly painful to lose our pets, they are family! I still miss my dog Dillon who died 3 years ago, he was 21! What hurts and I regret most is the fact that I wasn't there for him at the end as I was in hospital. Hopefully you were able to be there for Molly. Big hugs x

Osha profile image
Osha in reply toPaperQueen

I sat with Molly the whole day until we went to vet at 5.15. I can so understand how upset you feel at not being with Dillon, but trust me he knew why having known your love for 21 years.

As an animal lover who’s had dogs before I truly feel your pain. It’s like losing someone you love. It probably sounds harsh but I’m sure that Molly would love for you to go to a rescue centre and rescue a poor little dog in need. You are lucky to be able to have a dog.

Once again I’m so sorry that you lost your beloved Molly.

I’m so very sorry to hear this. Our dogs are so very special each one with their own personalities who love us as much as we love them. She will leave a hole in your heart ❤️ but the lovely memories you shared will in time help to fill it. Sending hugs. 🤗

So sorry for you. I know exactly how you feel , i have been through the same. It hurts, it’s heartbreaking and you never stop missing them but it gets easier with time, you learn to remember happy memories and that pain does fade after a while. We have to let grieving take it’s course.

So sorry for your loss. Our pets are our family. When they leave us it hurts and we grieve. I have a little memorial in my house for my first dog Poppy, as a permanent memory that I see every day. Hugs and best wishes. Molly is still in your heart.

So sorry, Osha. I’ve been there and know how badly it hurts- it still does sometimes, in the wee sma’ hours. I remind myself that the reason it’s hurting so much is because I had years of wonderful times which way, way outweigh the present pain. Take care of yourself and wait for the happy memories to eventually come and console you ♥️
