Sorry to hear the news. Keep the memories of the good times you've had with the pet alive,--- they will be a comfort in the months to come.

Thank you so so much K. We hope they will. She was all we really had and loved her like a daughter that we could never have.

So sorry to read this Kerry. We've never lost a dog at such a young age so I can't begin to imagine what you're feelng, but I do know how heart wrenching it is to lose a beloved companion and what a space they leave in your life when they go. You will always happy memories of your time together though.

Will be thinking of you.

Kerry, right now the loss is raw, it is a deep grief that doesn't feel it can ever be calmed. It will. In time the thoughts of Scooby will only get stronger but without the pain. You have enjoyed the 2 way love of a Dog, the loyalty that is given without question. Don't feel odd about it, don't listen to the-'it's only a Dog' words from the idiots, it was never 'only a Dog' Scooby was family. Post as much as you like, it isn't you rambling, it's you sharing with folk that not only feel for you but folk that have been in your shoes.

We all deal with these things differently, Kerry. I couldn't talk about it at the time but 6-7 months on, I can. It's as Rocky says, the memories and thoughts are strong but the pain eases. You'll get through it and will cherish the good memories you have.

Oh Kerry it is heartbreaking. We can only be here within this section if you want to post, it won't take away your pain but it could help to share your grief with other Dog lovers who will share the pain of loss with you. Nothing will change what you feel right now. We are here for you.

Oh you are so so kind. We are both suffering dreadfully. It is really comforting to know that people understand what we are going through. I just don't have the words to describe how painful for us it is. Just can't stop crying and thinking of her. Perhaps if she had a full life we could have expected it, but the pain would be the same.

Thank you so much. She was only just turned three and she gave us so much pleasure and happiness.i can't describe the pain and upset that we feel. We couldn't have any children and she was my first dog I ever had when I had to retire early due to I'll health.she helped me to get better and she was the daughter we could never had. Just wanted the three of us to grow old together and be happy but it wS nt to be. Sorry blabbing on too much now.

We are both so so upset. She gave us unconditional love and asked for nothing other than to be with us and play with her ball. She brought happiness and a purpose to both of us. We miss her so much xx

Thank you for the mine words. She was so much a part of our lives which really revolved around her. She gave us so much pleasure and a purpose.
