so sorry for this loss and grief

so sorry for this loss and grief love the picture of him in the pool... so happy.

so so sorry for this loss... thank you for sharing those great photos of you and Shep throughout his life

no-no-no I saw his name and figured he had a new report, not that he had died. I am so so sorry for this loss and grief. Thank you for sharing his reporting skills over the years... I feel like I know him.

our guy would have escalating weeks of fear after fireworks, but you say it's been 2-3 weeks of his being stressed all day. That is quite severe. Normally I'd say he'll just get over it, but that is a long time to have such a stressed-out-hound. No good advice... take him for a car ride the next time you know the fireworks are happening to get him away from that trigger.

Yes, Kingsley does this.... you can watch his eyes kinda glaze-over as he get's into his "zone" Since he has never licked himself raw, we let him do it as it does indeed seem soothing to him... for the 8 years we've had him, at least.

I have not read everyone's response, but in our world with our shy guy he too was a very reluctant walker. We tended to let him be the guide to where he would go, and we did a lot of just standing and taking-it-all in (a few steps out the front door). (after 8 years, we still have primarily 1 route that he will walk, while our other grey will walk anywhere) He loved getting in the car so for MONTHS the routine became my driving my husband and the dog down the street (about 1/2 mile) and dropping them off on my way to work and they would walk back home... cause Kingsley was more-than-happy to walk back home. Over time we would all get in the car, drive 1 block away and all walk around and then home... Kingsley has always done better walking with the entire pack (and one of our motivations for getting a 2nd dog) I just recalled that he often would get over his anxiety about walking as soon as he was across the street, so we would carry him across the street, and then start the walk... oh, funny boy... lots of change over 8 years now. So in some ways it will get better, and you will start to figure out when you can push it, and when you just need to let her stay in the yard. But as you can also see from our experience, it can take months and years and might not get to where you had imagined.

So glad for all your plans but so sorry for the sadness that goes with it. My thoughts and prayers with you

So sorry for this loss and grief, but so thankful for your years with Remy!

What a fantastic tribute you made to Symbra and Ioved hearing and seeing her transformation during her years with you!

Oh so so sorry... thanks for letting GT know so that we can add our prayers to you during this grief

Oh no. So sorry and sad about Gracie's death. Many prayers for you during this grief and loss Thanks for all the great photos you shared

So so sorry for this grief and loss. Thankful for the peaceful passing but will send my prayers to you and the daddy-man.

I might consider feeding Joey the Fromms he likes while keeping the grey on the Iams. Greys can have such temperamental bellies, I would hate you to try all these different foods through her system when you have found something that does work for her, and you know what did work for your poodle.

what a sweet girl... so sorry for this loss and grief many prayers for you

so sorry, and so glad you have that terrific photo with the kiss on his head!

So sorry for this loss, but so glad for the peaceful passing in your home.

Oh my gosh.... 2 dogs in 10 days... my heart aches for you.

A lovely tribute a a life well lived and loved. So sorry for this grief and loss.

Oh cannot adequately express my sorrow at this... Spud is a one-of-a-kind hound that I am so happy to have "known" thru GT. Many prayers to you during this grief.

What a great tribute to such a big character.... prayers for you as you grieve

Oh no... you're right, 14 and osteo seem to not go-together. So thankful for your great years with Jet and so sorry for this sudden loss. hugs to you and Jeff thanks for the beautiful tribute and photos
