My dog died yesterday.

[Swede]

He was just a mutt named Snoppy,but I loved that boy. He was 12 years old,had a good life. He loved to eat,and have his ears scratched. He was my shadow,I couldn't turn around with that fool dog getting in my way.

[Shopaholic]

10. I am so sorry to hear about your loss

my old guy passed away last November. He was 15 and much, much loved. He was a minature dachshund named Nicky. I haven't gotten a new guy yet but I hope to sometime soon. I still miss him horribly though. It helps to talk about him. It was just age-related liver failure. I cried buckets afterwards and for a long time afterwards. And I'm the type of person who eats nails for breakfast but not where my dogs are concerned.

3. So sorry,

I know how you feel, I lost my mutt 5 months ago, & I still listen out for her. Big hugs :hug:

[Wabbajack]

5. My Dog died, god almost a year ago

Heartworms. I still cry about it sometimes. :(

My condoleces to you.

[Swede]

8. Even my mom doesn't understand me crying about my dog.

Where can a guy turn to?

[Wabbajack]

21. Here?

The only people I talked about it with was my friends on another message board.

[Swede]

45. I thank you so much.

[Hoping4Change]

22. I hope this link will help.

The writer who lost her beloved dog suggests a little memorial service with friends to remember your pal and say final goodbye. For anyone who has experienced the depth of connection one can have with a pet your sorrow is perfectly understandable. Your grief is an expression of the tremendous connection you shared with Snoopy and losing such a connection is profoundly painful.

[Swede]

46. Thank you ever so much.

[Dookus]

7. Oh Swede...

so sorry. That sucks. Sounds like you gave him a good, long life.

[Stew225]

9. Sorry Swede. I shudder when I think of

when my dog will die someday. And I've lost just about all my family. Please accept my condolences.

[childslibrarian]

11. I'm sorry

he sounded like a nice dog.

[Swede]

14. He was my friend.

[Raven]

12. It's very hard to lose a friend.

Especially one who never questions and who just loves and loves you. I've been there. Think about the good times and after awhile, get another dog. I did and I'm gland I did.

[Hoping4Change]

13. I am so sorry for the loss of your pal. It sounds like you

dearly loved each other and that Snoopy knew he was a cherished friend. It is so rough to endure such a loss, I hope your memories of him will help you through this sad time.

[Corgigal]

15. I lost my first corgi dog

HoneyBear over a year ago but I wanted to share something with you. It doesn't happen too often anymore but when she first passed on I could swear I heard her bark every now and then. I always liked to believe it was her telling me she's OK and still watching.

Listen for Snoopy.

[Swede]

16. He was a goofy looking dog,with a goofy name.

But me and him bonded right away. He howled when I left, and howled when I got home. He could eat all day,and ask for more. I don't know how thoe skinny legs carried all that food, but he could do it.

[amerikat]

17. my condolences Swede.......losing a pet is more heartbreaking

than losing a human loved one. People have a concept of death and we all know we will die someday. Animals have no idea of death, maybe that is why we love them so much. For all the Snoppy's and Buddies and and what ever they are named, "They Are Gone But Not Forgotten".

[sleepyhead]

18. So sorry for your loss.

He was lucky to have had a loving friend like you. May it comfort you to know that he is at peace.

[Swede]

20. I can't believe I am such a baby about him.

I'm a 47 year old man,how can my boy's dieing floor me like this.

[sleepyhead]

28. Not a baby.

Human. With emotions. I would be worried if you *didn't* feel anything. Your memories will help heal the hurt you feel now. And some day when you are ready, another dog will come along to steal your heart.

[Swede]

47. I know,but I hope Snoops is in heaven.

He was a kind soul,he should have been a king,the world would have been a nicer place.

[complain jane]

19. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. My heart goes out to you.

[DemoTex]

23. My deepest sympathy.

Also sympathy from 11 y/o Sirius and 2 y/o Nick-Nick. They are not only my shadows, they are my little boys. I love them like I love life!

[Wcross]

24. Swede, words can't express my sympathy.....(but I will try)

Some people say dogs are like family, but they are are so wrong. My brother never ran up the driveway, tail wagging when he heard my car at the gate. My sister never ran up to me and licked my face after not seeing me for a spell. My mother never sat patiently at my side just to be near me.My father never barked into the night "just to be sure".

No. those people do not know dogs. Dogs are much more than family and you were much more to Snoopy than he could have ever wished for.

I am so sorry for your loss.


A dedicated Mutt caretaker.....

[Swede]

26. Oh,thank you so much.

From this day on coming home is gonna be empty.

[Wcross]

31. I was thinking of my guys and what I will miss...

I hope I didn't bring you down with my post, my intention was only to express what I will miss.

[Swede]

34. No your best wishes are apreciated.

I thank you.

[DemoTex]

27. Well said Wcross!

And to thee a three arf salute! From my pound hound boys!

[Gloria]

25. Snoopy was so lucky to have such a loving "dad".....

Don't feel "guilty" about your feelings, they show that you really loved Snoopy and you deserved his love.

I've got three (2 rescues) and I cry about how much I love them and they are young dogs!!!!

[Swede]

30. He;'d spin in circles trying to flatten the blankets

Once he got comfy he's rub his head head until I scratched him, cheeky little bugger.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

29. I feel for you

thank you for giving him a long happy life...

[3trievers]

32. I've lost three

I have three more now and my oldest retreiver is 12 and is beginning to show her age.I am always devastated when I lose one of my dogs but the others pick me up when I'm down.I know how you feel and offer my sympathy.

[Bjornsdotter]

33. I am so very sorry......

..for your loss. I have a boxer who is nearing the end of his life and like your Snoopy he follows me everywhere and goes everywhere with me.

I understand what you are feeling and Snoopy was very fortunate to have you as his "people".

Tears and a big hug,
Kim :grouphug:

[Swede]

35. Thank ever so much.

I just thank all of you guys that understand.

[smirkymonkey]

36. So sorry to hear about your dog!

They are our guardian angels on earth and, I would like to think, even in death.

It is such a tragedy that their lifespans are only a fraction of ours. To me, dogs are the best companion a human being could ever hope to have. My condolences!

[mitchum]

37. I am so sorry for your loss, Swede

[GoddessOfGuinness]

38. I'm so sorry...

:hug:
I'll bet he misses you, too.

[OneBlueSky]

39. lost my partner of 16 years awhile back . . .

so I know how tough it is . . . be thankful for his 12 great years with you, and the memories you'll always have . . . and, when you're ready, you'll find another . . . not as a replacement, but as a new friend . . . sincere sympathies on your loss . . . :hug:

[UrbScotty]

40. Oh no...

My dog died last year.

I hate waking up in the morning and not seeing Bonnie. :-(

Oh well. At least we have each other.

[Liberal_Dog]

41. I'm Sorry To Hear That

I know how much it hurts.

[Benhurst]

42. Sorry to hear of your loss, Swede. I lost my little mutt three years

ago when she was 16, and I still expect to see her when I return home. As soon as the election is over and I decide once and for all where I'll be living, I'm going to get another dog from the animal shelter.

[ChoralScholar]

43. condolences to you from

a fellow dog-lover. I have lost a couple in my life as well. I hate that their lives are so short compared to ours.

RIP Snoppy

[Swede]

44. I'm gonna get me a floppy earred mongrel that loves weiners.

When my neice called the dog Snoopy,I thought what a lame name. Now I wish my Snoops was with me now.

[fortyfeetunder]

48. Sorry to hear about Snoopy

I know just how you felt. A bond with a dog is a special relationship and I wish you comfort in your time of pain.
