The Retirement Thread

[rustybolts]

very sad day for me .. my little 16 year old toy poodle had to be put to sleep this evening. the vet was wonderful and she drifted across the rainbow bridge painlessly . She was diagnosed with brain tumour and other difficulties recently . she was stone blind for a couple of years . This is her in all her glory a few years ago, she was a sun worshipper . got her as a miniscule sized puppy in 2009 . the house seems very empty now , You don't realise how fond you get of them until they're gone, my heart is broken

I am so sorry to hear about your loss . Dogs give us so much love . They are wonderful animals and fill our hearts with warmth . Unfortunately, their time on this earth is too short.

Aww. So sorry. Anybody that isn’t an animal lover doesn’t really understand the devastation we feel each time we lose one.

I have risen!

I was heartbroken when I lost my Lemmy. Four years on it still makes me want to cry when I think about it.

I cry even thinking about the day Molly will go. Of all the pets I’ve had for some reason my bond with her is the strongest I’ve ever felt.

Sorry to hear that.
We have always had a rescue dog and after a suitable mourning period we have adopted another.
