Sad Day. Need extra miles...

I just got a phone call that our sweet English Setter, Maggie died. She had been sick, we thought she was pulling through it. But she's gone. Nine wonderful years. The finest companion, a true endurance athlete, great bird hunter. She loved the kids like her own pups. I'm gonna miss that girlie.

I'm so sorry for your loss, BikingNurse. I'm sure she was a great companion and part of the family and know she will be missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Dogs are unique. I had been only a cat person until we got a Great Dane last Spring. This is my first dog. And though losing a cat is very hard, I can't imagine what it will be like to lose a dog. They become such a big part of your life. You make plans around taking care of and walking them. Cats are more independent and rely on you less. So, the bond is huge with a dog. I hope you feel better soon. I found with my cats that passed away, making a photo album was very therapeutic.

A good dog never dies. He always stays. He walks besides you on crisp autumn days when frost is on the fields and winter's drawing near. His head is within our hand in his old way.

Sending hugs your way. We said goodbye to our Scottie mix, Arthur, today. We had him for 10 years. He was a sweet boy, and a real character. I'd write more, but I can't see through the tears.

seems many animals are passing these past couple of days
I'm so sorry for you both. Take care, and cherish the memories. It's going to be tough for a while, but soon you'll be able to smile when you remember them.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Sweet Agnes and Maud (my beloved goldens) are showing Maggie around Rainbow Bridge...Maggie will have lots of dog/cat/bunny TE friends to keep her company until she can be with you again.
