My little 14 year old Miniature Schnauzer has been dead for 12 1/2 months, and I still cry over her when I think about her. I’m not sure I will ever really get over losing her.

Great post. I recently lost a dog and stumbled on this while looking for other people who have lost dogs. It made me teary… he truly was a best friend and irreplaceable.
Thanks for this great post, I dont feel so alone now.

Thank you for your heartfelt comments. They are much appreciated. It has been over a month but the feelings are still there.

When I read the post here on Jaime’s blog, I realized that it was missing a picture. I now find how few pictures I have of Fish. There are plenty of him as a young puppy from those first few days. And then so few after.

So one more comment. Take pictures of your dog! You cannot have enough pictures. Lots and lots of pictures…

I am so sorry for your loss. I stumbled on your site while searching how to cope with the loss of a pet. Our Huney Bun (mixed breed dog) was recently diagnosed with canine lupus. Bad BAD stuff! We know the outcome, yet I try to deny it every day. Thank you for your insight on the guilt…I feel it already. We will enjoy her until she lets us know when it’s time.

Tears in my eyes. Makes you realize how much you love your dog(s) even when they’re not behaving, not doing what you want them to. And how you’d give anything to get them back if they were ever taken from you. Think I’ll go hug both of my boys now.
