Our beautiful dog Bonny was too poorly for this world and we had to say goodnight to her on Tuesday. We are all so upset and missing her dearly. My home feels empty. My one and only dog has brought me so much joy. She saved me when I was really ill before diagnosis . Kept me going, forced me out for gentle walks and , she never left my side. I shall be eternally grateful to my faithful friend. I'd know idea to lose her would be so painful.

If you are lucky enough to have one, give it the biggest snuggle x

Sooooo very sorry to hear your heartbreaking news of your beloved Bonny. πŸ’Ÿ

I’ve been grieving 40 years last month. I will grieve till my dying breath, however I learned to celebrate my every minute everyday every blessed year I had.

The pain is real…it never went away for me. I choose to laugh and smile and giggle with every precious memory. In time you’ll be able to push the pain down and bring forth the wonderful memories too

I empathize and send my deepest sympathies for your vast loss.

Much love and supportive thoughts sent your way hun.

you’re so right sweetie πŸ€—. They are so special and fulfill such a need for us. We are so enriched by our furbabies (feather, scale, whatever kind of babies) we are blessed to love.

You take care BonnyB and due whatever’s going to help you grieve and cope with the void.

I’m sending my love and support from across the great pond πŸ€—.

Abundant blessings my new friend.

They are members of the family and like our children - sending lots of love πŸ’—

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Always loyal, loving and true to the very end; people can learn a lot from dogs. Still yearning for my 2, one 4 years ago, one 18 months ago. You learn acceptance only because everything living has a lifetime. I'm not replacing them and I admire people who buy another dog straight away. I did that when I was much younger, but for some reason, I can't bear to think about it for now. We have however started on a website called Borrow-My-Doggy and have 3 lovely dogs that we choose to look after when their owners need us to and we want to. Rather like grandchildren I would imagine, but I don't have any of those yet! How I made this reply about myself when you are hurting so much, all I can do is apologise. Your loss is still very, very raw. Avoid everyone who makes the comment, it was just a dog! There is never a "thing" as just a "dog". Peace, love, light and gentle healing to you from Suffolk. I attach hopefully, a photo of my tribute corner for you to see. Hopefully the rainbow crystal can be seen. Xx

I am so terribly sorry Bonny. The grief of losing our fur family members is immense. We lost our Brodie in May and then Dylan in September last year. We were absolutely devastated. Personally I lost interest in everything and just did not want to get out of bed. They were the children I could never have. I hope that in time you will grieve less and revel in the memories. I decided I just coukd not and did not want to live without a dog in my life and we got Finlay. He is very different to my boys but he is the sweetest little cuddle monster and he makes me smile a lot and laugh out loud. He will never replace my boys but he has helped me cope. Whatever is right for you, I truly hope that your grief eases. Much love sent your way. Fly high over the rainbow bridge Bonny 🌈🐾🐾❀️ Xxx

I am devestated too. I have already lost my three personally trained assistance dogs and have just lost one of my two assistance cats. I really sympathise with what you are going through. I know it's different for everyone. You have my deepest condolences. My thoughts are with you.
