My Dog Has Died.....

My beloved Chelsea of 15 years died yesterday and I am heartbroken. This tops off a less than stellar year for my family. I am hoping 2007 will be better......42

Sorry to hear about your dog. Losing a pet is always a bad time.

[Tonichelle]

oh I'm so sorry *hugs*... pets come into our lives for far too short a time...

I'm sorry you lost your pet. I know how hard it is, but I do hope your heart mends quickly.

[bruised]

Sorry to hear that. My thoughts will be with you.

God bless.

Show-so sorry to hear about your dog. I hope 2007 will be a good year for you.

Thank you everyone. The hard part has been packing up all her things. We are keeping her ashes and placing them in a special box with her picture on top. This was my son's request as this has hit him the hardest. 42

So sorry to hear the bad news, Show.

I'm so sorry to hear this and know exactly what you are going through. My partner just lost his dog of 16 and half years, just four weeks ago and was heartbroken. He found keeping some of her things around him helped especially for the much needed grieving. We now have a picture of her in the living room with her collar draped on one corner with a little candel in front of the picture...for every sad pang there is that we get upset about, there are always many more stories that leave us laughing about her in the end.

Best wishes
Ant

Show42, I am so sorry! Since I have multiple dogs and often take in older dogs, I have been through this too many times, and it never gets less painful. However, even knowing the incredible pain, I would never give up a minute of the time I had with each dog if I could do it all over again. Hugs to you!

I am so sorry. I wish that there is something more I can say or do. I have lost pets in the past and it is a bad time. I hope that you do have a better year next year.

You could donate to the Humane Society (or another animal-related charity) in her name. I did that for animal victims of Hurricane Katrina when my sweet old dog Zayda died. It helped a bit.

Thank you once again. Hearing from all of you does really help. Donating to the Humane Society is a wonderful idea.......... 42

I've been away from GS for a while - just wanted to express my condolences for your loss. I'm sure Chelsea had a really wonderful (and long!) life with you. (((show 42)))

That is really hard news, I feel so bad for your loss.
