So very sorry. Our pets go through everything with us and understand our highs and lows and our pain often much better than our human families and friends.. She was very special. You loved each other. Try to hold onto the memories.Thinking of you

I hate this time too. It is agony when we loose our furry children. I howl for ages and then I start to smile amongst the tears when I remember their love and antics. My heart goes out to you at this very sad time. Rosie xx

I wish. I only had her 2 years and 8 months. I took her when her previous owner died.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Our pets get us through so many times that humans can't, even though they try so hard. But remember that when they leave us they take a piece of our heart but leave a piece of theirs which stays with us forever. You have that piece and you will remember all the happy memories which you made together. Your sad tears will be replaced by happy ones in time. Take care. xx

thank you, she was such a funny girl and yet had such a serious face. I laughed more with her I think than any other dog I have had. They were all special but different

My heart goes out to you Suzannah , been there myself, its not easy , they are such a big part of you and your life , you will miss her so much , but she will live on in your memories , and she was so loved , she couldnt have asked for a better "mum".Keep the faith , there will be times when you cry buckets , but times when you remember and laugh at her antics.

My old girl is 13 , and I dread that day , but I know in my heart she has been well loved and happy whilst here.

Take care of yourself , thinking of you

Hugs to you xx

There are no words other than I DO know how you must be feeling. We lost our final dog in July and it's still hurting. They are such beautiful souls. The only way I've found I can deal with it because some comments are so hurtful, is to get a page up on Pinterest and dedicate that page to that beautiful soul. Once a day, I go through that page and look for other pins to pin on that page. There are lots of other people out there who feel the same way and pin your pins too. It just saves all the sadness I feel when people think I should be "over" it. I'm not and I'm fed up with feeling ashamed for mentioning it, so this is how I cope. Tbh, I like animals a whole lot better on some days than people. The exceptions are of course on my Lovely Lupus page. So, I have no words of comfort for you, but one story which you've probably already heard is "when God made all the animals and he came to the last one who had sat loyally by his side while he named all the others, he couldn't think. Still the animal sat by his side. Still God thought. Still the animal sat. Lightbulb moment - because you sat so patiently while I've been thinking, I will give you the name Dog, which is my name backwards for your patience, loyalty and love" This story gives me comfort every day. I don't mean to upset anyone with faith or not, it is just the story that helps me through the day in what is sometimes a very difficult world. I am so very sorry for your loss. Finally my Mum used to say "No matter how big or small, we are all creatures, one and all!" Namaste 🙏 🧘‍♀️❤

I’m so sorry to hear you lost your little ray of Sunshine. It’s so easy to see you brought her as much sunshine as she brought you. When you are ready, and in her memory, go searching and you will find that somewhere out there, a little sad dog is sitting in the darkness waiting for you to come and bring sunshine to him or her as they need it. You will love that little ray too. You have much love to share💕

Such a sad time for you Suzannah and my heart goes out to you. I really hate rainbow bridge time too and as a result can’t bring myself to have another pet since losing so many fur and feather members of the family over the years, each breaking my heart that bit more. But remember Mandy had a wonderful life with you and reaching 17 shows how contented and loved she was. You’ll treasure the happy times you had together. Love and hugs to you. 🤗😘💜xxx

Suzannah16, I am so sorry to hear about Mandy. The love that we get from our pets is the purest. They give so much and ask for so little. I wish I had some words to lessen your loss. Just know that Mandy will always be in your heart and a part of you forever.

Healing hugs.

Suzannah there is a book called : A dog’sPurpose / which came out as a movie unfortunately because books are so much better. It’s now a trilogy. Anyway sometime after my Rosie died I read it given to me by a friend. Since it is a work of fiction I just

Did not see how it would help my terrible grief. But it did!!!! It helped me navigate all the questions we ask like, should I have done this? Maybe I could have been better

At that? Tons more. I’ve since given it to so many people and they all agree it helped. It’s not a dog psyche book/how to get over

Your grief. It just magically helps with the grief through the eyes of a dog narrating the story. 💜

So sorry to her that but thinking of all the happy memories you will have to make you smile in the future. I was remembering one of my special friends the other night when the fireworks were going off. She used to get so scared her teeth would chatter! Dogs are with you forever.
