Our pets are our family, our children and the loss is felt the same as if you lost a family memeber. I lost my Crystal Oct. of 05 and still have a hard time looking at a tennis ball. Some may think it's crazy but I feel it shows compasion.Time and thinking of the special memories of your pet will help.Sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for the loss of your dog. Its always hard to deal with. It was 4 months ago today that my dog ran away. We found him almost a week later. He had been hit by a car. He is the dog in my avatar. I miss him so much. I still cry. I still think about him a lot. It takes a long time to get over something like that. The thing that helps me is that I have 4 other dogs and I have one of my Charlie's puppies. She looks just like him. She keeps me busy and if I am crying, one of the dogs will come over and lick my face. Another thing that helps me is that he is buried in my yard. I go out and talk to him everyday.
