Sorry for your loss!
A long time ago my dog was put down the day after Christmas.
RIP Buddy....Look for Princess when you get to heaven.
Sorry to hear of your loss JakeRobins.
I am sorry jake. It is so heartbreaking when our fur babies leave us. Many who will or have posted here KNOW the pain & have shared the tears of losing a dear companion. I cried more & grieved more profoundly when my Oliver died Dec 2005 than when my dad died in 1990 or when my mom died this past Oct.
God bless you FRiend! I have two dogs(rescues) that I love dearly now. But I will always love & miss my Oliver
I’m so very sorry. Please except my sincere condolences on the loss of your friend and companion. My heart truly goes out to you.
My condolences to you.

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no fear
in all the world is more grateful for kindness
than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should
lick your hand between the blows, your patience and
understanding will more quickly teach me the
things you would have me do.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s
sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce
wagging of my tail when your footsteps falls
upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside,
for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer
used to bitter elements.
Ad I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting
at your feet beside the hearth.
Though had you no home, I would rather follow
you through ice and snow than rest upon the
softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land,
for you are my god and I am your devoted worshiper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although
I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell
you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp
and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side,
and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my
life should your life be in danger.
And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit
to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn
me away from you.
Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands
grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest –
and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew,
my fate was ever safest in your hands.
I am so sorry. RIP Buddy.
So sorry. You have my sympathy...it hurts like heck!
My condolences.....had a Samoyed that we had to put to sleep because of cancer.....smartest dog I’ve ever come across personally. He knew how to tattle on me to the wife. He also knew after fetching the ball how to toss the ball for me to fetch.....the neighbors knew that when he’d bark at them, all they needed to do was say “Hi Puck”, and he’d stop and wag his tail.....he considered himself an equal part of the family, obviously “Buddy” was too.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I’m sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. :(
We also have an old shi-tzu with bad kidneys.
Try a holistic product called “Tripsy”. It ain’t “Cheap”...but it seems to have amazing (good) effects on her kidney health.
A DOG FOR JESUS
I wish someone had given Jesus a dog
As loyal and loving as mine
To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes
And adore Him for being divine.
As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog
Would have followed Him all through the day
While He preached to the crowds and made the sick well
And knelt in the garden to pray.
It is sad to remember that Christ went away
To face death alone and apart
With no tender dog following close behind
To comfort its Master’s Heart.
And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn
How happy He would have been
As His dog kissed His hands and barked its delight
For The One who died for all men.
Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine
The old pal so dear to me
And I smile through my tears on this first day alone
Knowing they’re in eternity.
Day after day, the whole day through
Wherever my road inclined
Four feet said, “I am coming with you!”
And trotted along behind.
