My Best Friend and Companion!  

I did post about my dog Shana. She is pictured in my avatar lying on the chair, kissing my other dog, Mandy. She was also my steadfast companion and best friend who knew when I was sad or sick and stuck by my sad whenever I was not feeling well. She passed away early this year and, like you, I had her cremated. She now sits in my garden inside a special stone. This was her favorite spot in her later years when the sun would warm her bones. I missed her so much that I got a new pug named Sookie. She is in no way a replacement for my other dog, but she is learning to be a good companion just the same. My sympathies to you for your loss.

I can understand ur feeling cause i had a lost a dog with that i had spent 10 years of my life but at last he had gone away from me without giving me trouble in the late night at front gate of my door i rally feel bad for him but that is the part of life my dear

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Some people don't understand how heartbreaking it is to lose a pet, but it's a blow when you lose someone who's given you unconditional love and companionship for so many years. It sounds like you gave her a great life with many memories.

I am so sorry to hear about Casey. I understand how you feel. We become attached to our pets, love them and they love us unconditionally in return and they are part of our family. I know you can never replace Casey but I hope one day you can find another one to love.

Hello JTerrasi,

Oh, I'm so sorry about your Casey, no she is not far away, her spirit is always with you, watching over you and protecting you, although I have two cats now,about twelve yearrs ago I lost my cat Roly to cancer, but I still sense him around me and some time I get a feeling he just jumped on my lap none of my cats do that they play hard to get, so my dear yes Casey is still with and be happy and smile.

Your friend

As you can see by my avatar, I have five furry kids. I had a mini schnauzer whom I had since she was a pup named Crissy. She was my first real dog since I'd been on my own and the love of my life. She lived a very happy life for over 12 years until she got sickly. For many months I paid tons of money for the vet to try to make her well and feel better. In the end, the vet said there was nothing more I could do and I put her to sleep. I was by her side holding her as she went. I'll never forget that saddest day in my life. I had her cremated and to this day she is in a pretty little box in my head board of my bed. Some people think I'm weird, but she was like my kid and I still miss her dearly.

I thought I would never get a dog again since her passing broke my heart. My new husband at the time, about 6 months later, talked me into at least looking at some pups at the shelter. We found Shelby, who was such a darling and brought her home. (She is the brown one in the pic, right in the middle) From there it went one by one till 5. I love them all and they make my life so much more meaningful.

My sympathy to you and hopefully each day will help you live with the grief.

Oh, your word's let me think of my dog, Keke. He is really smart. But he is loose his audition, as onetime he don't listen to my brother's order, then my brother kick him. Unfortunately, kicked just his ear, then he can't hear little sound from then. So when we are crossing road, we always bring him in our arms, but onetime, Keke go out by himself, he is dead on crossing the road. I missing him too.

It is so very hard to lose a pet. I've lost a number of them over the years. None any easier than the others. I get so attached so quickly too. Sometimes they don't even have to be MY pet for me to be attached. There are stray cats that I feed here. One black cat has been coming for about a week. I can tell he is stray rather than feral. He will let me pet him but so far I can't pick him up. Unfortunately he has an injured leg. I've tried to catch him so I can contact animal control, but no luck. Apparently I'm going to have to ask for a live trap to catch him. Its sad because I know they will put him down. If I didn't have so many other pets, and if I could afford medical treatment I'd probably adopt him. As my mom always said, you can't save them all. But I'd sure like to try!

me too i love odg she is my bestfriend my true friends? i will do anything for my dog?

I love my dogs too the same way you love yours.My parents encourage me to leave the country to work in Canada after I graduate.I want to bring the dogs along but it would be expensive as they too will need a passport and they also have to be vaccinated again.Well,I hope every thing would be better for our country so I won't have to go.By the way,my dogs are 11 yrs old now.
