I am so very sorry. It's so hard to lose them. Your love and care brought her to a ripe old age, but they are just never here long enough. I'm sure she and Chaos are having a happy reunion. Rest well, grand old lady. Send your family a sign that you are watching over them. God bless.

I am so very sorry. My tears and prayers are with you. She looks so much like my sweet Sissy who crossed the bridge last year. Godspeed, bright angel. Send your family a sign that you're OK... OK?

What a beautiful tribute. My tears and my prayers are with you.You were SO blessed to have this magnificent boy in your life. I'm so sorry.
You keep looking after your mama, you hear, bright angel?
-
Wow, what a long happy life he had! I had a kitty that lived to be 21 too. Maybe they can compare really-old-kitty notes at the bridge!
Godspeed, Ralphie. You did good, buddy.
Wishing you peace and hoping you find comfort in your memories.

Rest well, sweetheart.

I voted "special needs" because Hoovie is epileptic, but (thank God) his seizures are well controlled so far. Bloo has a touchy tummy every couple of months, but I don't consider that an ongoing problem. Border collie Lacy has Cushing's and is on meds, but it is also well-controlled and not a problem right now.

I'm so very sorry. My prayers are with this family in this time of sudden and tragic loss. God bless.

Please accept our sympathies. Susie, rest well sweetie. You brought much joy to many hearts.

Rest well, bright angel. We know you're up there, forever whole and young, still slaying those dragons. Know that we are all down here, praying for your family and trying very hard to slay the horrible dragon that stole you from your family.
-
WOW.... that is just the most beautiful thing!
-
I know there are no words to make you feel better right now. Please know that we are all out here crying and grieving right along with you, admiring this last, loving gift of dignity you've given to your sweet girl.
Miss Nellie, your new life as a guardian angel begins today. Thank you for inspiring all of us. We'll work very hard to find a cure for the disease that took you too soon. Run free, brave girl, and watch over your family until they can see you again.

I'm so very sorry. It's just awful when you aren't expecting it.
Run free, beautiful boy.

Rest well, beautiful brave boy.

Praying that your baby needs nothing more than a good rest and some extra cuddles.

My prayers and my tears are with you. May God bless you with many happy memories.

I am so sorry. It's only been 2 weeks since my beloved Ali passed in a sudden, tragic accident, and I feel very lost too. It costs 900 dollars to cremate a horse, so I don't have any ashes either. I do, however, have his things, his pictures, and his image in my heart forever. I took some tail hairs, a sprig of fresh sage, and a little stone I found that is shaped like a buffalo (buffaloes are Zuni totems for safe journeys) and put them in a pretty box. I took the box to the top of a hill in the place where Ali was born, and buried it. Almost immediately I felt better, like he'd found his way home.
It has been of comfort in the past to plant a rose bush for each of my bridge babies, and bury some of their hair or belongings under it. This year I will have to plant two, and it's breaking my heart. But as hard as it is right now, I know time will heal the pain, and I know that my babies are whole, happy, and alive in spirit. I know the important part of them will never die.
Talk to her anyway. I promise she will hear you.
Believe me, I know how raw and hopeless your poor heart feels right now. I'm in that same leaky, miserable old boat.
Please feel free to PM me if you need to cry, rant, scream, or whatever.
God bless,
Carrie

I don't know what to say other than God bless and may your memories bring you comfort.

We considered it after Sissy got sick with cancer, but after looking at it critically, it really wasn't a good value. They don't pay enough for the stuff that will drive you into the poorhouse, and there are far too many restrictions for chronic conditions. I chose to set aside a "disaster fund" as a separate savings account (mine happens to be a money market fund that you can withdraw from without penalty) and use that as our "insurance." Anything I would spend to pay premiums to an insurance company, I can just put into the fund to gather interest until it is needed.
-
What a special girl she was. You must be very proud to have had such an angel in your lives.
Run free, sweetheart, and give my Sissy a kiss for me, OK?
-
Oh, dear, I am so very sorry. We were hoping and praying that Larry would make it.
God must have needed a very special angel. May He bless and keep you in your grief, and send you many happy memories of your sweet boy. You're in my prayers.

Only when they roll in poo, rotten who-knows-what, or otherwise stink! (And when you have a puppy, that's kind of often...)
-
My thoughts and tears are with you in your loss.
Run free and swift, bright new angel Benny. Give my Sissy a kiss for me, OK? I'll be watching the sky for a new star tonight.

Wow...sixteen! What a good long run your boy had! It's a testament to the loving care you gave him.
Sending many prayers for comfort and peace in your time of loss.

Hoovie only barks when he thinks something is threatening the house. Bloo barks when he wants to play, and I've only heard Kayla bark once, when she was *really* excited about something.
All of them will sing at fire trucks.
I am so very sorry. It's so hard to lose them. Your love and care brought her to a ripe old age, but they are just never here long enough. I'm sure she and Chaos are having a happy reunion. 
I am so very sorry. My tears and prayers are with you.

I like these poems... perhaps there is a line or two here that touches your heart?
***
FOUR FEET
I have done mostly what men do,
And pushed it out of my mind;
But I can't forget, if I wanted to,
Four-Feet trotting behind.
Day after day, the whole day through--
Wherever my road inclined--
Four-Feet said, 'I am coming with you!'
And trotted along behind.
Now I must go by some other round--
Which I shall never find--
Some where that does not carry the sound
Of Four-Feet trotting behind.
--- Rudyard Kipling ---

JUST MY DOG
He is my other eyes that can see above
the clouds; my other ears that hear above
the winds. He is the part of me that can
reach out into the sea.
He has told me a thousand times over that
I am his reason for being: by the way he
rests against my leg; by the way he thumps
his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he
shows his hurt when I leave without taking him.
(I think it makes him sick with worry when he
is not along to care for me.)
When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, he ignores it.
When I succeed, he brags.
Without him, I am only another man. With him,
I am all-powerful.
He is loyalty itself.
He has taught me the meaning of devotion.
With him, I know a secret comfort and a
private peace. He has brought me understanding
where before I was ignorant.
His head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
His presence by my side is protection against
my fears of dark and unknown things.
He has promised to wait for me...
Whenever...wherever--in case I need him.
And I expect I will--as I always have.
He is just my dog.
