I assumed so!

Saying goodbye to a dog, helping them cross over the bridge, is definitely gut-wrenching. It will take time to replace those moments with something brighter.

I think you and I were both blessed with that best friend who always showed us unconditional love. Kim and I started considering another dog after about a week even though before Junior was gone we swore never again. The pain is sharp. Having a dog still with us we saw the affect on her and us. And two dogs aren’t anymore difficult than one.

So we’ve made some decisions…

Thanks. The sad reality of dogs and life.

I’m sorry for the loss of your uncle and your Golden Retriever David. We all respond in our own way to loss and it’s not an easy path forward sometimes.

Junior’s departure has left a void in the house. Kim and I are ok but Lily isn’t dealing well with it.

I’m glad you got to meet Junior. He was a blessing.

Errata: cockapoo, not cockatoo. Darn autocorrect.

My heartfelt condolences for your profound loss. I’ve been through it just two years ago, having to “help” our 15 year old cockatoo “cross over the rainbow bridge,” as they say… gut wrenching, and still saddens my wife and me to this day. When they say, “man’s best friend,” they sure got that right. That doggie, without skipping a beat, showed me unconditional love no matter what kind of foul mood I was in. Some say to get another dog right away, and that may work for them. But for my wife and me, we decided to put off bringing another pet into our lives right now for couple of reasons; 1) newfound freedom of truly being empty nesters, and 2) we can’t imagine going through that loss again in 10 to 15 more years.
Celebrate the memories,
Floyd

We had to put our beloved Golden Retriever Taylor down. Our hearts were broken.

I lost my uncle on March 28. I couldn’t bring myself to read this post until now.

We didn’t get another dog. We sometimes think about it. But so far, not.

I enjoyed meeting Junior. You were blessed with Junior’s company.

All my best Steve.

David

Yeah, you’re right Clyde.

Years later the pain is still very real.
