Aw hun :(
-hugs-

im on skype if you need someone to talk to or cry on hun

Thank you, Zidd. Mostly I'm feeling numb. It means a lot to me that you're a willing ear.

Aw man, condolences.

Thank you, Luso. *hugs*

*hugs*

I needed that.

My condolences. It's a terrible thing to go through.

She was the first dog to ever pick me. I haven't had that experience since I was, I dunno, eleven? That's around the time I met my cat. I had always wanted a dog and we could never work that out when I was growing up. She was a rescue, was my girl. She was special on a whole bunch of fronts. I will miss her something fierce.

She picked a good person. Took and gave you love.
Won't be another like her, but there'll be another that will also need you and bring you what it can, in the future.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

I didn't understand just much of my heart she owned until she was gone. I guess that's the way of things--we lose track of the full picture, even when we think we've got our eyes wide open. Maybe it's not possible to see the whole picture until you're removed from it by the passage of time.

Time does heal if you let it. I've learned that and I'm letting it work on me. You've helped me, believe me.

*squeezes* My condolences, Berba-honey. :c

Thank you, sweet bean, I needed that.

Awww... :(

Yep. :P

Im really sorry to hear hun :/

Thank you, UV. You're a dear one. She was the best.

That is no good. Remember the time you had and her love will always be near.

Good advice. She's got a hold on my heart like few others. You never forget the first dog to pick you.

I know the feeling, I'm 30 and I've had my cat, Mingus, since I was 19. I cry anytime I think about her getting old and passing on. She is an epic part of me as I am sure your dog is to you. All my love *hugs*

You're a good soul, woman. *hugsandlovesback*

My sincerest sympathies. I lost a pet this past week myself; hurts like hell every time.

You're in my heart, too, good bean. It's a sad boat we're both rowing but at least we have some good company.

-hugs-

*hugstightback*

my condolences =/

Thank you.

You're probably going to feel like that for awhile. I cried for days straight about my girl and still cry sometimes now over a year later. :(

I expect you're right. There's a lot of grieving ahead for both of us. Sounds like she meant a heart's worth to you.

Some pets just touch you too deeply to be able to forget. I have two tattoos on my forearms, both for her.

I've got a friend whose arm has tats of her beloved puppy, just like you. It's almost a month later and it's still raining on my heart, but I think I can see some sun breaks ahead. You made this whole awful business a little easier. Thank you.

I find it's easier when you can talk to people who care the same way. So many people just don't understand how much it hurts for them to be gone because they'll never understand how wonderful it is to reciprocate the love they give you.

One of my arms will be added to as I gain more dogs through my life. A sleeve of paw prints, but I doubt another dog will touch me quite the same way she ever did.

It's a broken brain that can't see how empathy is the same vibe, whether for an animal or a person. I've been following your suggestion and you're absolutely right. It's made a huge difference in my recovery.

Like you, I will have other dogs in my life, but I don't expect the sort of bond I had with Ellie to be repeated. She was the bestest of the best.

Thank you for your comfort and understanding. Maybe one of these days I'll get to thank you in person.

I don't understand it either. My husband isn't particularly animal-oriented like I am, but he understood how much it hurt, insisted I get another dog because I just need a dog in my life and has never once dismissed me for feeling bad she's gone even now. I don't understand how you can't get past "it's just a dog" and see "you're hurting" regardless of the why.

Yeah, it definitely amazes me how good Punk is getting now, but she's such a different personality from Missy so I know we just won't connect on the same level.

Maybe one of these days. If we ever travel close enough to the other.

You've got a good man in your husband. It takes an empathic person to bridge the gap between being an animal person and not.

Give Punk some scritches for me. She's got herself a great dog-mom.

One of these days we may! Who knows. Life can be rough, but it's also full of possibilities.

Well, there's a reason I married him. ;)

Life is full of possibilities and endless adventures, so maybe one day! I know I hope to hit an American furry con at some point in my life, though heavens know when that will ever be. :P

Wish I knew what to say. I'm glad she had you in her life, though; dogs should be that loved.

What you said is just fine, good sir. There really aren't words to take the pain away. It's more about letting the person hurting know you care, just as you did here. That makes a difference, believe me it does.

Just hope you can hold up okay.

It's been a day-to-day thing, with a lot of stumbling along the way. I think that's how grief goes, though; it sets the pace and you follow.

Berbs, I am so sorry. I have no words but know that I feel your pain echoed in my own past situations and you're not alone, sir. Please be well and reflect with love on your times together.

Thank you, sweet bean, and bless your head for every single word and thought you've sent my way.

I'm sorry for your loss. The only thing we can do is keep cherishing the memories from when the journeys briefly intertwined. From what little I know of you I'm sure she had good life.

Thank you for this, mister. She made my life a lot brighter. Now that she's gone I've found a lot of shit revealed that I'd swept under the rug. Time to do some shoveling again.

Ohmy...This situations are always horrible. Hope you feel better soon :c Really sorry for your loss.

Thank you, o Dearest of Bug-beans, your words mean a lot to me.
