My dog has died.

After fourteen long years the family dog, Jo-Jo, has died. He had been sick for a couple of days, and died very quietly on the front porch. I'm glad, at least, that it was relatively quick. But I'm sad that I've lost a companion.

Goodbye Jo-Jo. I'll miss you. :cry:

for your loss. Its funny...you know in your head what their lifespan is and should be prepared, but when it happens it still rips your heart out.:(

I've been there and it hurts. RIP

At least his end was peaceful.

The Skin

RIP JOJO and look up Sebastian Cattbutt- he will show you around and introduce you to some new friends

My old boy (14, too) gave up the ghost a few weeks back. We got him as a puppy when our kids were 2 and 3. They took it real hard. Damn, they really do become part of the family. I miss him on our woods walks.....

Best wishes.

These little guys just get into our hearts and stay there. Even after they leave us, they're always there.

Thanks to you for giving Jo-Jo a good home and tons of love. You know he appreciated it.

I know that you're really experiencing a big loss. My kindest wishes to you during this tough time.

:hug:

My dog is thirteen. I just hope she stays healthy for awhile yet.

It is so hard to lose them.

Bye Bye Jo Jo--Whereever you are now, I hope you are well fed, warm and happy!!!

I'm sure you were a loving companion and that you'll be sorely missed.

I have several wonderful buds waiting to greet Jo-Jo and join them in watching over us as the guardian angels that they must surely be. Remember the pleasure Jo-Jo brought to you to soften your pain. Best wishes. I've been there, but for all the pain that comes when they pass, the happiness I get from my little darlings is always worth it!

My terrier Sam sends his regards, as well.

Sounds like he had a relatively long and happy life, and you must have some wonderful memories to treasure.

Is your DU name from a nickname for Jo-Jo?

let it consume you. It's real easy. lost my two dogs, one after another about 2 yrs ago. They were old It broke me up. It felt like the second one died of a broken heart. They were old and awesome. Now, when I see other dogs, I give them lots of attention.

on the loss of your fur child.

So sorry for your loss, he looks like he was a sweetie. Too bad our furry friends don't live as long as we do.

Marigold the Commie Pommie and Rasta Mon join me in extending our condolences regarding the passing of the beautiful JoJo.

:-(

My condolences, now you made me realize how much I miss our late pooch...

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

It was a great comfort to my wife and me when we lost our cat Sweetpea and our dog Cooter.

very supportive group of folks who have recently gone through something similar . . .

again, my sincere condolences on your loss . . . :hug:

:hug:

I've been through it and losing a pet is like losing a child.

what a fine animal! so very sorry.

i've felt that pain. we nurture love and protect them, then watch them die. sometimes we even have to decide their death.



the hurt keeps us human.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :cry: I'll be broken hearted when our dog leaves us.

You never forget your animal friends, that's for sure. :hug:

...He was sure a cute little guy!

to you and your household.

May you find signs that your friend watches over you.
Love lasts.

losing a companion like that is so hard. At least he went in a peaceful way. R.I.P. Jo-Jo.

A few months ago we lost our cat of 14 years. He was a wonderful member of our family, just as Jo-Jo was.

You have my sympathy.

You gave him a happy and long life, and at least he did not suffer a long and painful passing.. Pet's lives are just too darned short..Every little fluffball we take into our hearts will leave a large hole in it, and yet we keep taking them in :cry:...Was he the
"elperromagico"??

May he live on forever in your heart.

:grouphug:

A toast :toast: to Jojo.

My sincere condolences.

They are much appreciated. :)

What a handsome doggie. I'm so sorry for your loss; losing a beloved companion is so hard.:hug:
