I'm so sorry Tina!

I'm sorry Shirley. She was a beautiful girl. {{{{{{hugs}}}}}

Thank you Jeff, for all the hard work and giving us a place for us greyhound junkies to loiter.

I just hopped on the bandwagon!

You're welcome. Losing a pet is not easy and we just want to show our support. It's very clear you cared for Tommy a great deal.

I'm so sorry. At least he is pain free now, running like a pup over the bridge.

Oh poor Tommy, I'm sorry. He was a cute kitty.

Those are some wonderful words. He was a lucky boy to have such a loving home.

Lydia you have such a big heart. Even though you work with animal all the time it will never get easier to see them go. Thats a good thing because if it got easier then you've sealed off your heart. What will get easier I'm sure is the ability to control your emotions until the time is right. Plus you can use that strength to help others that have to cope with the same situation except it may be more personal for them. You are still young Lydia and have to grow into that big heart of yours! Godspeed Salt.

Oh my gosh, I am sooo sad to hear about your loss. What color was Rosie? I know black dogs are suseptable to heat stroke quicker than the lighter color dogs. In about the same weather one of our fosters (black female) got sick after only being outside for 2hrs at a M&G. She was mostly only lying down and sitting in the shade so if she was running around it probably could of been a lot worse. I beleive she was feeling better a day or so after.

I'm sorry for your loss. I was 15 when my first dog died, a beagle named Jocco. My parents got him when I was 1yr old and he was only 6 weeks so we basically grew up together. When he died I thought I never wanted another dog again because I missed him so much. But then a year later one of my relatives dogs had puppies and I was over the house everyday playing with them. I even bonded with one of them and I could of taken him but I was starting school and it wouldnt be fair not to be able to spend time with the little guy. But because of that unexpected experience and being around puppies that need you I realized that it was ok for me to get another dog and I would someday. For the past 16 years my life has been pretty hectic with school, starting a career and moving to a new state. Now I am finally settled and have loads of time to share with a dogs loving heart. Jocco will never be replaced and he is still missed, but me and my mom still share stories about him (my living room rug is one that he got sick on numerious times) and there are pictures on my fridge of him. He'll always be with us, just not physically. It's different for everyone I'm sure but I think the addition of a new pup in your home will help lessen the sadness of the one that has been lost.
