Max -

I really feel for you. I still miss our 12-year German Shepherd who passed away two years ago and our several cats who have passed away over the past 20 years. We find that, with time, we've been able to reminisce and smile about all the good times we had with them. We still call one of our spare bedrooms "Duke's room" because he (the GSD) liked it. We still call one of the spare bedrooms in our former house "Emily's room" because it was a favorite of one of our cats.

I wish you and your family good wishes in dealing with the pain.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm soo sorry to here that our dogs are our furry chidren!

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I feel your pain... as I have lost 3 of my pets in an 8 month period, for a total of 5 pets in the last 13 years. No matter how old, we are never ready to let them go. Remember the good times... I know there are no words to ease your pain. Time heals, but you still remember and tears will roll, no matter how long ago it's been.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. I never wanted/liked dogs. My wife force bought a whit Maltese, now he has a black malti-poo sister. I would never go back. Be strong.

I've just been reminded of a Siamese cat I once had called Smartie Pants! He was unique, he went for walks with us around the fields and had picnics with us. We even took him camping. He had a cage when we couldn't keep an eye on him with my first Pomeranian Cindy. I'd forgotten about all his quirks because he had awful medical problems towards the end, no need to go into but you can imagine( old age/waterworks) but what a boy! he had a cry like a baby, slightly cross eyed, could open fridge doors by using claws to open the rubber seals with, ordinary doors as long as they had a handle and was so affectionate. He loved humans. I found him stretched out in his favourite spot under the bench in the sun(he was always cold, he loved the sun) and he just died without anyone knowing. I couldn't pick him up so I had to get the next door neighbour to pick him up and put him in a box so hubby could bury him. I'm such a silly Billy, I'm crying as I'm writing this, so silly, it's been 10 years now. You never forget a friend!

I walked by our park the other day and stopped for a while to reminisce. He loved that park........

It's gonna be a bit longer before I can go back there.

Sorry to hear about your loss
