Reading with tears in my eyes. You have my prayers for your beautiful Lola and for your comfort.
We never forget our pets, they become so much part of ourselves and we deeply feel their loss.
Hope one day you can open your home and your heart to another Lola.
Blessings, etabeta
Sending our deepest condolences REH, and putting in prayers of comfort for you. She passed under the warmth of your hand, surrounded by your love, and no one could ask for more than that. Allow yourself to find some comfort in the many wonderful memories, and maybe even to smile a little, knowing that in your heart, she is still with you.
God bless,
Tatt
I am really sorry for your loss :/
She looked like a really savvy and smart pup.
I am so sorry. So very sorry. Our pets give so much love and ask for so little in return.
I’m so sorry. Hope she’s well and happy in doggie heaven.
YOU GAVE HER QUITE A GREAT LIFE.SHE WAS REALLY ENJOYING THE WATER VIEWS AND WARM BREEZES IN THESE SHOTS. NOW GO RESCUE ANOTHER DOG IN TRIBUTE TO HER .SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS.
Beautiful tribute...
Lola is running like a young dog, pain-free, in heaven...patiently waiting for you, as all good dogs do.
I shed a few tears for you and for Lola’s memory. God grant peace.
You have made me cry.. so sorry for the loss of your best friend ...
I am so sorry. So heartbreaking. My friend lost her dog Callie last Wednesday morning too. This is one of the most difficult things in loving a pet friend...the eventual loss.
Hey....
.....hey.....I’m feeling your pain.
Losing a pet, it hurts to the bone.
And I’ll tell you something else, no offense to cat lovers cause I got four of them too....losing a cat...hurts. Losing a dog is a pain tenfold.
....Though I consider myself an amateur wordsmith...I have no words to make it easier.
Except I hurt for you too.
She had good long life where she helped people and shared love and affection. What more could any of us ask for? So temper your sadness that she has passed on with being grateful she had a high quality life. You were both fortunate to share such a long friendship. She wouldn’t want you to be sad have a smile on your face when you think of her.
I’m so sorry you lost your pet. You are right. Love between a pet and their human is perfect. I will say a prayer for you and your sweet dog.
Charley (Peke), Eli (Shih-Tzu), and I are sorry for your loss. I too have felt this kind of heart-ache. I’m glad you have so many wonderful memories of your FRiend. Lola will be in your heart forever. God bless.
What a lucky dog. You invested a lot of yourself and through your dog you helped people in so many ways. Dogs are eager to move on once they have lived a long life and are no longer able to romp and do doggie things I think. There are two thoughts that I had when losing my dogs. One...I will never ever put myself in the position of feeling this kind of pain again. Two: I wonder what dogs are available for rescue today? Lucky is that dog who comes next in your life! So sorry for your loss, but so glad there are people like you.
What a beautiful expression of your experience.
Take a little time to miss her and grieve in her honor, and then adopt another in a hurry, also in Lola's honor. Your next "love" is waiting for you, and needs you very much. Don't make him/her wait too long.
Best of luck to you, FRiend.
Thank you for the wonderful story and for sharing your loss.
Thank you for posting Lola’s sweet and touching life’s story. What a full and busy life she had - a dog’s dream come true! I’m sure she was thankful every day that you were the one who adopted her - she knew you loved her like no one else would have.
You’ll always love her and miss her, but time will ease your grief. I’m glad you have friends to help you through this sad time. Take care.
