-hugs- My first dog was a German shepherd :< It's never leaving a best four legged furry friend.

But just remember the times you had with him, the good memories, all the tail wags, the kisses, just remember all the good times and know he's in a better place, no longer suffer :3

Hang in there hun! We love you!

Sometimes the memories are what triggers the tears. Especially hurts when he's not there anymore, wanting to play fetch and race alongside my car when I'm making it home from work.

Knowing he's not in pain anymore makes me feel better. It sounds silly, but I wonder if he thought of me, Jack and his grandparents before he passed. They say dogs don't have memories and don't plan for the future, but I highly doubt that. . .

Yeeeeeah...... it's never easy and never fair that we should outlive our animal family like that. But, yanno... I guess that's life, we all pass on eventually. :c I just hope he/sh didn't suffer long.

*hug*

I know. I think, right now, I'm hurting most for our other dog. He's been so distraught since his companion has been gone.

I still well up in tears sometimes driving up our gravel path and he's not racing beside my car anymore. He and our other dog would always race us out and in the drive. Now Spoog doesn't even race along side me when I commute out or in.

Thanks. I hope he didn't suffer long either. He died of old age, so hopefully it was while he was sleeping... a peaceful slumber.

I still... totally love this image though.... Sorry it's distracting me.

And yeah, I was always under the firm inpression that animals must be kept in pairs... Even cats. It really is amazing the difference it makes.

Uhhhg... I wanna hug ya though. I hate the internet.

You be well okay...

I'm okay now, yeah...

Thanks.

Lately life just enjoys throwing tragedies my way. :C
