On Saturday, 12/30/2006, Rollie passed away suddenly at the age of 8.5 years. A corgi-terrier mix, Rollie was a great dog by any standard.

I and Maggie (his sister) will miss him a great deal and 2007 will be a worse year without him.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll pray for you.

I am so sorry to hear about Rollie. I love dogs--they are so doggone GOOD. His loss will stay with you always and the sadness you feel now will last a long time. Maggie will help you...and you must give her a little extra loving attenion, too.

Good bye good boy, Rollie...

Along with the others, I'd like to pass along my condolences at your loss. Our animals bring us so much, and their loss is terrible.

Bill

Awww. Bless little Rollie's heart. I know it is so hard to lose your little buddy. You and Maggie will rely on each other more than ever now.

I am sorry about the loss of your precious Rollie.. there are a lot of dog/cat lovers here & many of us have lost precious pets this past year or so..

I am still missing my Oliver.. It was the hardest death of my life (he was 4) .. far worse than dad or close friends...A day doesn't go by that he is still not prevalent in my mind & I truly felt that a big part of me died with him.

I wish I had easy answers for you. I don't believe there are any.. But the old saying of GOING THRU THE PAIN is impt for regaining sanity/stability and the ability to function again.

The other pet will grieve deeply also. Oliver's "doggie" Toby who had only been with us 4 months, went into deep grief. stopped eating & just plopped self on Oliver's grave.

That is why I got Josy for "HIM".. it did help & he rarely even goes by to sniff the grave. I have pix of Oliver...Toby/Josy & Cali on my profile page,

I love & enjoy my two dogs now (Oliver died Dec 12, 2005) but Oliver will always be that VERY special friend that still brings me to tears almost daily.

Feel free to share stories/pix(through tears, if needed) here..

I lost a kitty in May and I still miss him. Tigger my other kitty sensed this and has been way more loving towards me then she ever was before. I am her second family.

I am sorry for your loss. Allow yourself to grieve.
