I am truly sorry for your loss. I lost my beloved dog earlier this year, and he was also a true and wonderful companion. Please know that as much as your heart aches, the memories you have of him will comfort you, in the not-so-distant future. Love is forever.
Dogs break your heart when its time for them to leave you. I am so sorry your little Maxwell is gone.
We had to put our beautiful 12 year old Red & White Irish Setter named Ruby to sleep in April. I still can’t bring myself to remove her water bowl from the kitchen floor.
I am so very sorry. We had to put our beloved beagle down last year. I miss him more than family members we have lost over the years. How those crazy, lovable mutts worm their way into our hearts! Maxwell was blessed to have you in his life, as he was a blessing to you!
I had to put my old Sam down six months ago today. It’s heartbreaking, good luck. Get another dog as soon as you can; we weren’t meant to be without them.
It was easier on me when the Shiatsu passed in my arms naturally and the dachshund/yorki under my computer desk naturally. But when I had to have my 19 year old Terrier Mix euthanized I still can't get over that. They said the Vet wouldn't let us be with him when it was done. So I will never know how it was done. I should have taken him out of there, but he had been there for 5 days hooked up to an IV so we thought it best to let him go.
My thoughts are with you during this time.
Am so sorry. Prayers being said.
I am SO sorry for your loss. Family members who are that loving and loyal can never be replaced.
I’m Still Here
Friend, please don’t mourn for me
I’m still here, though you don’t see.
I’m right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I’m always near.
I’m everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I’ll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I’ll never wander out of your sight
I’m the brightest star on a summer night.
I’ll never be beyond your reach
I’m the warm moist sand when you’re at the beach.
I’m the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I’m the beautiful flowers of which you’re so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I’m the first bright blossom you’ll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I’m the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you’ll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there’s no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I’ll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you’ll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I’m the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I’m the smile you see on a baby’s face.
Just look for me, friend, I’m everyplace!

Sad, very sad. A heartbreaker when you lose one of those little critters.
If it’s in the cards it’s probably a good idea to get another pal real soon.
i know how you feel. we lost our 14 year old black lab mix rescue last. even thoughshe was not very active the last ,onth i still expect to see her with wagging tail when i open the front door.
I am sorry for your loss:
Before humans die, they write their last will and testament and give their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws I could do the same, this is what I’d give:
To a poor and lonely stray I’d give my happy home, my bowl, my cozy bed, my soft pillows and all my toys;
The lap, which I loved so much, and the tender loving hands;
The hand that stroked my fur and the sweet voice which called my name.
I’d will to the sad and scared shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving heart of which there seemed no bounds.
So when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again for the loss and pain is more than I can stand.” Instead, go find an unloved dog. One whose life has held no joy or hope and give my place to him.
This is the only thing I can give – the love I left behind.
This is my inheritance; my Last Will and Testament.
Do you have any good stories to tell about Maxwell? That’s what my son and I did when we lost our girl this summer, we sat around the fire-pit and pretty much talked out her whole life, we laughed and we cried. It really helped us, maybe it would help you? My heart goes out to you, I know how much those bundles of love can fill our hearts, it’s painful but we were lucky for the time we had with them. God blessed us.
“You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.”” Robert Louis Stevenson;

I lost my 16 year old Dachshund, Daphne, on Nov. 1, 2011. I was very sad, but she was so feeble and old that I knew it was better for her. And even though we are to believe, as Christians, that our beloved pets do not go to heaven, I do believe that we will see them somehow in the afterlife. They brought us so much joy during our lives and heaven is a place of complete joy that there has to be something of our pets with us when we die.
get a new dog right away, best medicine.
we are on our third standard poodle, cant handle it when there is no dog in the house.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your furbaby. I’ve been there and it’s no different than the loss of a person and sometimes it’s worse. Prayers of comfort for you - yes, there are dogs in Heaven so you’ll be reunited someday.
I know how painful the loss of a long-time pet and friend is. I’ll Pray for your comfort in the many wonderful memories you have of your time with Maxwell.
Condolences. I’ve cried twice in the past 30 years, once when my mother died and the other when I had to put my dog to sleep.
Condolences on your loss.
So sorry to hear about your loss. It might help with the pain of loss if you try to keep busy—reading, walking, hobbies, rather than dwelling on your pup. Each day that goes by slowly makes it easier to handle.
