Poor thing!!!

Cute puppy!!!

:pals:

I can't even talk about it yet.

:(

Long live Biscuit.

I'm glad you posted it.

When you are ready to talk about it, know that there are tender ears here to help you bear your burden of loss.

:hug:

Now find another dog who needs that love. Even in grief. It won't be the same dog at all. It will be someone else who needs you. And all the love your dog gave you becomes a legacy of giving.

He was 17. Thanks for the kind words, from you and the previous posters.

In time I'll get a new co-pilot.

That's good care.

that's what my dalmatian / dane mix is, he would go everywhere in the car with me if I let him.

(advanced age/health): "Thanks for sharing the ride with me."

She was a stray, picked up in a parking lot. She needed us.

What a lovely girl. That blue eye reminds me of a Husky.

I know you think it's too soon to think about getting another dog. But if I may offer some advice, along with the condolences?

Right now, you feel as if there's a huge gaping hole in your heart and you just don't know how to fill it. But that isn't how that hole works. It's not waiting to be filled -- it's got all this love pouring out of it and it has nowhere for all that love to go.

And yet somewhere out there is a dog waiting to take all that love, and then turn around and give it all back. You need to find that dog -- or let him or her find you.

I almost lost two of mine in the past couple of weeks, one to a rattlesnake bite that's still healing on her nose and the other to a bad case of valley fever that will have him on medication for at least six months and maybe for the rest of his life. That's okay, because what I shell out in cash for them doesn't even come close to matching the priceless gift they give to me in love.

You had a relationship with your dog that cannot be replaced. You will never forget him. But you know that they say dogs live shorter lives than humans because dogs learn so much quicker how to give and receive unconditional love. And we need them to teach us.

Don't wait too long to find the next one. It's waiting, patiently, somewhere.

Between you and Steve, I'm crying too.

It's so true. Pets are not interchangeable. Each is so unique and you have different relationships with them. Their gifts to us are great. Sharing and passing it on keeps it going, and helps us heal when we have a loss.

Just as Biscuit's survival does.

I've owned dogs and cats all my 61 years. Many losses but many loves and many wonderful memories. My dogs and cats were happy and I was a good keeper. Loss hurts but our pets and best friends are worth the pain. I wouldn't give up one second of their presence in my life to avoid the pain. They know from unconditional.

Walked that road several times...it still cuts like a knife.
Your friend was blessed to have you.

:hug:

I have a 13 year old shepherd husky mix myself so I know that sad day is in my future.

And so nice to see 2 survival stories here today about dogs.

We lost Rex Easter Sunday and I'm still not right. I break down in the pet food section at the store. Cheers to Biscuit:bounce: At least we still have our house~

Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you.....
I loved you so --
'twas Heaven here with you.

Poor little puppy.

:applause:

he will ever be able to tolerate stormy weather again without tranquilizers.

But I am so glad he made it.

He must have been so scared. I'm glad that he made it out alive, there's not much left of the house.

:-)

And thankful owner.

:-)

A win in the face of so much loss.

He looks traumatized, poor thing.

Yay for Doggies!

i'm glad the little baby is OK.
