I first offer my apologies for not providing a personal response to every person who posted a kind message or sent a sympathetic PM. I’m overwhelmed by the flood of support, all the words of comfort, and expressions of shared grief. Your thoughtful messages, and that you took the time to create and send them, have given me much to be grateful for and are helping me get through this most dreadful period of profound sadness. It all reminds me to continue to appreciate what I have, and not curse that I don’t or no longer have something. It’s worth repeating that there are no better people than the people here, and you all have my heartfelt thanks and gratitude.

You have my continuing sympathy. A heart-breaking loss. I have had a couple sudden deaths of horses. Devastating. So sorry for your loss.
I hope you heal from this soon LL. Losing a dog is a traumatic experience for sure.
Two of mine are half Jack Russell and half Mountain Feist. The third one is a 40lb female mixed breed (sweetest dog ever), that somebody dropped off. My two little dogs would run out the door in a flash. Their fence is on the other end of the house, but the other end doesn’t have a fence. The same thing would happen to them that happened to yours if they got out. I put a tall gate going into the utility room at that end to prevent it. The main door and the gate are never open at the same time. I learned from chasing my old Jack Russell over the place when he ran out that door.
Thanks for your post LL. Glad you have received so much support.
We all ache for you, Linda.
