Doc,

Theres few things in this life that are harder to take than that of a family member passing. When our dog Hunter (RIP) left us, there was this huge void in our lives. We had to pick up the peices and get on with it, as tough as it seems. My prayers will be with you, especially knowing the pain that it causes.

I'm so very sorry for you, doc.

My buddies are getting up there in years, too, and I really understand your pain.

Time slips by so fast. I'm sorry the bell tolls for him too soon.

I'm so sorry about your boy. Just keep telling him how much you love him until you know it's time -- I'm sure he already knows how special he is and that he is truly loved. Some people in their lives live lonelier and harder existences than our beloved pets ever do -- the only comforting thing about a dog having a shorter life is that at least we can know that we and our love for them have been a constant throughout all of their years. While you will miss him terribly, I hope you realize that he's a lucky, happy boy who's lived a wonderful life, so there's no reason to be sad for him. You keep your chin up, ok?

Doc,

I couldn't have said anything better or more eloquently than was quoted above by Withers...I am truly sorry for your friends tough times as well as yours...I'm sure all of us because of this thread appreciate more the special friends we have and the time and love we share together. I am showing this to my two teen boys tonight so they appreciate their best friend also!

Storm

So very sorry, Doc.

Let me echo Unstable's eloquence: "The loss is never easy. The love remains with you always."

I'm so sorry.

Always know that you helped to make his life better, happier, as he did yours and that you are as special to him as i know he is to you.

Loss of any family member is difficult and the dark days before you know what's to come can make you feel helpless and alone.

But... but..... as others have said, just make sure his remaining days are filled with love and some of your time. That's all any of us need, right? Love and attention.

From you post, I know he receives both in unlimited quantity.

Someday you'll think of him and smile again. It might take a long time, but someday will come.

The very best to you and to your beautiful friend, now and always.
