We had to say good by to our friend of 17 years this morning. She had a heart attack 3 days before Marie's mother died (she had been Marie's mother's dog before she came to live with us 10 years ago). She had been on heart medication and slowly going down hill. This morning she woke me up, I took her outside, and she came bounding back, just like she did 15 years ago. She ate her breakfast, and then came into the kitchen where I had started to prep mine. She had a siezure, and when I listened to her chest, it was obvious that she had another heart attack. I awoke Marie and rushed her to the Vet--but we all decided to say good by.

A lot for Marie to bear, but she has seen a lot of adversity in her life, and will make it through this one too.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss Bob. Pets become part of your family very fast, and it's hard to say goodbye to a pet that asked nothing more than to be petted, loved, walked and fed.
 
Sorry for your loss. We lost our 14 year old border collie Anna around the 4th of July. Said we'd never get another dog cause none would ever replace her. We were only part right -- after several months of missing the old gal we saw a fellow playing with his border collie at a park and that started the ball rolling. Went to look at a rescue dog that had been abused and undernourished, and came back with two sweet, lovable pooches -- not a replacement for Anna, but a little help for 2 cuties that needed help. What a lot of work, but every day (now 3 weeks+) we can see them improve and us adapt to the new workload. Things will get better, but you'll never replace the loss. Ron
 
Bob, I'm not a big believer in the Karma stuff, but something tells me this all was meant to be. Maybe there is some comfort in that for you, I don't know, but I hope so.

sorry to hear about your pal, Bob , dogs just are part of the family and they give us so much joy. Our 17 year old Madison was touch and go for a while this summer. Ok currently but she is getting on.
Tough when they have to pass, lots of good memories I hope of the times she made you laugh

sorry to hear this .. we rescued a older mutt a few years back and eventually had to put him down (failing health) funny the way it goes but that one still sticks with us .. he took up half the couch for a few years and sure was happy to be here ..
 
As our 12 yr old Yorkie lays on the leg rest of my recliner tonight, it scares me to think about what affect losing her will have on us. You have our deepest sympathies.
 
Bob and Marie, we are so sorry to hear this. We know how Miss Priss was a family member. This is a lot for you two to have to bear. Once again, our hearts and thoughts go out to you. We know that you provided a good life for her and she certainly enriched yours.

I will hold little Izzy close tonight.

:cry:

Our condolences,
Jim & Joan
 
Dear Bob and Marie,
Our hearts and thoughts go out to you. We are so very glade to have had the opportunity to know Miss Priss and to have shared some time with her. Our puppies are dear to us and we know the lost you feel. Thank you for sharing her with us all.

Mike & Judy and Daisy and Dabber Doo...
 
Bob and Marie-

Cathy and I are so sorry to hear about your loss of Miss Priss. Our pets mean so much to all of us, and we truly understand your feelings and can share your loss.

Joe and Cathy
 
Dear Bob and Marie,

We are so sorry hear about Miss Priss. We have been talking about Tootsie and our adventures last year just at this time. Animals become a part of our hearts and members of our family in short order. Joel is sitting on the couch giving Roxie extra pets as we speak.

Please know that you are in our thoughts.

Joel and Susan
 
Sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it can be.

My Boston Daisy just left us for doggie heaven a few days ago. I hope Miss Priss and Daisy are comfortable.

I still have visions of Daisy waiting for me to feed her in the morning. All she provided to my family was lots of love and entertainment for a scratch, and a little food. I know for Daisy it was time to go, but we did not want to let her go. She was blind and death for the last year and a half, been run over several times and was not even able to scratch her own ear in the end. I should have been less selfish and let her go some time ago but we loved her and tried to keep her comfortable. Over Thanksgiving weekend she slipped away from us again only this time I know it is forever.

It may be a while before we look for another companion to share our lives with. What a joy Daisy was to have and we will miss her. Her companion Oscar died around 5 years ago and that was very hard.

Now our household is without the joy of a dog.

But we have been blessed to have had our 4 grandchildren placed in our home. Twins at 1 and a 3 and 4 year old. And if this is permanent I will be close to 80 when the youngest get out of school.

Anyone miss having children around?
