McB

I so so feel for you doll

I had to make that decision a year back and still not over my man

but you said earlier you can't have another dog for reasons, do what I do, dog sit! We can't can another dog on full time but I really hate the thought of dogs going in kennels when peeps go on holiday

5 week back had a Border Collie for a week, she was lovely (not a patch on my man though lol)

Today Sally, english Bull went home, ugly but what a character!

next month we have a German Shepherd pup for 2 weeks

I walk the old walks and chat again to dog owners I haven't seen for a year, it's been brill

a thought maybe?

take care

Hi McB, I'm sorry. I agree with all the other comments. We have 3 dogs, all of whom we 'rescued', and we will be devastated when they die.

Grieve and have some time. You know you did the right thing. Then, after a few months, go to a dogs' home.. and see what takes your fancy. A dog is for life, whether that life is yours or theirs. Be happy.

I cried like a baby as well and I thought I'd got over the death of our dog a few months ago but it's bought tears to my eyes typing this.

Being an ex fireman I know a bit of first aid and our little Cavalier dropped dead in front of me, I gave him mouth to nose CPR and I actually got him back but only for a few minutes, he died in my arms.

I feel really sorry for you mate.

Sorry about your very sad news ......


But you gave a little dog a lovely home and many many years of happiness and fun. As we all know this is inportant for animals as it is for humans,if you hadnt gone to the rescue center that day that little dog may not have had as much love as you have give.

If only there were more people like you. Who take on a homeless dog

I know the house will be quiet for some time to come but please settle on the fact that you did such a kindness for that dog .

take care

We had to do that in February - both hubby and I cried buckets - in actual fact we still do.
But you did the kindest thing for your dog who is now pain free.
Take care

It's always sad to lose our pets and tears are to be expected. The only consolation is to remember that you gave your dog the best life you could after she had a rocky start and in return she gave you the devotion and company you now miss.
I am sorry you are unable to take on another pet at the mo and maybe you can find a way to care for animals by helping at a rescue centre or something to help fill your time and to make a difference to other animals whose lives might not be so good.
Time will ease your pain but your beloved dog will always be in your heart.

Brian, you did the right thing, it broke my husbands heart when our dizzy died, and I had to be strong for him, but that did'nt mean that I did'nt feel it just has much as him. The tears will help.

So sorry to hear of your loss McB.

We have had some wonderful dogs and cats over the years and when they have passed away it has left us all bereft, even my husband who isn't really an animal lover has been affected by their loss.

We have such a special relationship between us humans and dogs especially. They love us unreservedly and are the most loyal and devoted of companions so when we lose them they leave behing a great void in our lives.

It is like losing a member of the family but time heals and when the hurt lessens you will remember all the wonderful times you shared.

Treasured memories my friend that will be with you always.

I thought I had come to terms with losing Harvey earlier this year, but we returned from two weeks holiday on Monday morning and when we put the key in the door and walked into the house just for a second I expected to hear his bark, and I felt so sad.

The Rainbow Bridge.....

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.

There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one runs suddenly from the group. You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look, once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
