loyal friends are a blessing and it is clear your family were a joy to your dear girl she had a great life with purpose

Sorry for the loss of your dear friend. Your story was touching. My little Pom is 13 and I dread the day I have to say that I have lost her.

Tears are running down my face as I type. I was fortunate to have a companion as loyal and loving as yours. When he became deaf, I became his ears. When he went blind, we left a nightlight on and I became his eyes. When he became incontinent, we gated him in our room so he was not so ashamed of his "accidents". When he developed doggie dementia, I would give him a chore so he would feel useful. When the pain in his joints was so great he could no longer stand to greet us, we offered the only kindness we could while holding him for the last time at the vet's office while I cried. I look forward to when we meet again.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry. Reading everyone's posts about their beloved pets brings tears to my eyes. I've lost many over the years.

It's been such a bad year for me, I hoped this year would be better than the last. I'm glad I made so many e-friends and thank you for all your support, stories and e-hugs. I felt like i have the touch of death lately, but life must go on and I'm sure it must get better. I'll miss the old girl very much. My husband buried her by a big oak tree next to the horse pasture so she can always look out over her buddies. I've never seen him cry so hard over any animal. All the animals came to watch, i think the horses knew, she was their friend too. She was a great dog and a great, loyal friend.

I am so sorry you had to lose such a wonderful friend, but its only temporary, she'll be waiting for you by the gate, guarding your spot until its your time. I can barely see through my tears, think I'm gonna go hug my girls curled up on the sofa. Again very, very sorry. Wish that words could help your heart.

This really hit home with me and brought tears to my eyes

I had a dalmation (got him as a puppy) for about 12yrs. He was my baby. He was always sick though it seemed with something. It didn't help that he loved to eat my mom's rolled up knee high nylons!! That one put him in the hospital for weeks. He had to have part of his intestines cut out. Another long hospital stay was caused by severe ulcers. The vet told me about 2 or 3 days after his operation that I needed to think about putting him down. I didn't. At the advice of another vet, I took him home to recoup and in just a day or two, he was back to his old self. He loved to follow me around in the yard. (I still miss that, 4 yrs. later) Cancer finally got him. We did have him put to sleep. It was one of the hardest things I had to do, but it was best for him. He was in really bad shape. I had him cremated.

Sorry that was long, but know that I am wishing you happiness and I bet my dalmation(Tyler) and yours are playing happily in doggie Heaven!! :aww
