Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I'll bet that you gave him a great life. There are a lot of dog lovers amongst us. You are not alone in your grief. Many of us have experienced it. Dogs just do NOT live long enough.

Osprey, I started to reply to this post when it first appeared a couple of days ago, but I couldn't get through it. In mid July, I buried my best friend for the last 15 years. I still can't say much about it, but I know, and share what you are feeling right now.

Her name was Cleo, and I miss her gentle spirit.

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Sorry to hear about your dog Jorge. I put down my male dog last year, and am watching my lady dog get old. I heard somewhere that having a dog is signing a contract with sorrow. Makes sense to me. I still love all dogs. And a few people.

Hang in there Jorge, RIP BCS Beach Dog

We are very fortunate that one chose us too. Her name is Calliope and returning home one day she came out from under the RV covered in fleas that clung tight almost taking the last bit of life left in her little barely weaned body.
Our neighbor Jean in BA painstakingly helped Michelle remove the little harbingers of death with tweezers and over the week she slowly began to recover.
I will give her a big hug and kiss when I get home tomorrow.

She has never required potty training
Has the heart of a bear
The speed of a Antelope
The love of a mother
The loyalty of a dog
And our hearts forever

Your in our thoughts in these hard times, Sincerely, The Fam

I wish there was a way to like your comment, BajaRat <3
Calliope has made me a dog person. Well, at least, a Calliope person :)
So sorry to hear of the loss of a loved one. Their footprints will always be embedded in your heart.
