Missing my dog, riding, and rain...

[Surlygirl]

So sorry Wabasabi for your loss. They really are like kids aren't they. She was beautiful. My mom had one who looked just like her. She was the best darn dog. My cat and the dog use to walk together down the street. People always laughed because they were such good friends. Think good thoughts and hug your other dog, its good therapy.

My heart goes out to you Wabasabi . . . losing a furry friend is heartwrenching and as all of us know that have animals, they are much more than a pet, but a true friend. Inasmuch as it's difficult to hear these words, take comfort knowing that she's not suffering, and is running through fields and fields of green grass and lovely flowers. And, she's forever by your side.

Take care and be safe on the rainy roads.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. They are so much like kids and give such unconditional love. I hope you at least get better weather for riding as bike riding would probably help you out at a time like this.

W, so sorry about your friend. Losing Reba, my german shepherd, was one of the worst things I've ever gone through. Something that helped was from Chief Seattle, who, when the topic of death came up, said, "Did I say 'death?' There is no death. There is only a change of life."

I'm glad you have someone to grieve with. I used to go out and cry on the goats. They didn't mind a bit, and then we all ate carrots.

Such sad news!

Watasabi- I have been thinking of you and now I understand why. My condolences to you as well. Losing a special memeber of the family is always hard. I'm glad you have another pup to comfort you.

Riding in the rain is absolutely no fun. Glad you could get home and get warm.

Been a busy fall which is why you haven't heard from me re riding up your way. May have to delay until Spring now.

So sorry to hear of your loss, W...

Our beloved Boston Terrier is 13 and a half, and I am already dreading the day we lose her. She's been our baby all these years since my husband and I could not have children. I'm going to be a basket case when she dies. I don't even know that I can handle getting another dog after Pepper. She's completely irreplaceable.

Sending virtual hugs and a shoulder to cry on your way....

I was saddened to hear of your loss. Love and kindness sent to you and to your remaining dog companion.

I love my dog very much! My dog now is seems to be as though a reincarnation of my dog from childhood, disposition and all! I did not name her the same though. But I was sad back when I lost the first one. She was old 17 years, and know the sadness I would feel if anything were to happen to my dog now.
