I hope you get another sooner rather than later . Nothing like a full on pup to fill the gap .epirb: I hope you get another sooner rather than later . Nothing like a full on pup to fill the gap .
Nah, won't be doing that
For one thing, I've found that it's best if I take the pain when it comes to losing a loved one and work through the grief ..
In addition, that little guy has set me free - he needed a lot of care over the last two years of his life due to health issues so I tended to his needs and never strayed too far from home.
I'm just coming to realize that now I can go wherever I want, for however long I want.
No more pets

I hear you , I refer to my six as dependants and it is a tie for sure . I had an old neighbour who had farmed most of his life apart from his war service , he said to me once that if you are not raising a pup you might as well give up .He would have had hundreds of dogs over his life , work dogs for sure , but friends,mates every one . On the land closer to his house there were crosses and painted rocks marking some of the graves .In addition, that little guy has set me free - he needed a lot of care over the last two years of his life due to health issues so I tended to his needs and never strayed too far from home.

Yes I can only say I'm completely devastated .. I've gone into hyperactivity overdrive around the house and garden, trying to fill the void a bit I guess.
I still can't believe he's gone
Missing you my puppy 
We weren't really into Pete Murray but I thought this song was quite nice and we probably would have danced to it, Mummy's sweetheart
When your ashes come back we'll go for one last walk to the lake then Mum's going away for a while 
Very sorry for your loss Serene. Take your time and grieve for your little mate.
Love that Pete Murray song and it seems appropriate.

Thank you Obs
This is so hard, more than I ever imagined
I used to hold his little face in my hands and call him Mummy's sweetheart ..
Of all the loved ones I've lost, this one has broken my heart.
diggadavo: I truly feel your pain Serene. I'm waiting on the vet to come and put my baby to sleep as I type. She's almost 16 and I'm just gutted to say the least.
Oh Digga, I am so sorry
Kisses for your baby girl, just know that her end will be swift, painless and peaceful.
I'm here for you

Jeezers Digger!!
When i had to put my little mate down ... I was at the vet, and they had a nice little garden behind the clinic where i parked me car ...
When the docs told me to say my last goodbyes to my little mate sort of thing
I was put on the spot and did'nt really know what to say to him besides that i loved him .. and stop pissen on the plants...
So, while he was cruzin in between the vets garden pissin & sniffin around etc.. It did'nt really dawn on me that, that was gonna be the last time i saw him sniffin & pissen
When it was the time
I walked me little mate up the ramp towards the clinics door ... As me mate was out of breath just trying to get up the ramp... A woman waited patiently behind us ... prolly thinking ... Get a farkin move on ... She said to me
what a cute dog you have there (can't remember her exact words while patting him) 
... I replied that i was just about to put him down. She lost it and started crying ... that was my cue.... So i started crying too ffs That's when i realized it was'nt gay to cry lol
God/whoever bless you Digga & Serene xox

Godluvya lookin
I was hoping to get in a last walk, a last feed and so on, little did I know that they had already happened a few days prior.
That was a blessing in a sense as the end came of its own accord, but I had those last precious hours with my boy, knowing that I had to make the toughest decision of my life.
Also knowing it was the right one as it saved him from suffering.
He was exhausted, cuddled up in his blankie, in which I carried him for his last trip in a car.
I'll never forget the little nervous sniff he did as we arrived at the vet, as he'd always done, or the incredibly loud snoring when the sedation took hold ... probably the best sleep he'd had in weeks.
This afternoon I wrapped myself up for a cold afternoon walk, trudging down the road no doubt looking like I'd lost my best friend, which of course I have ..
A neighbor said Oh, no doggie today??
I said No, my doggie's gone, choking back a sob..
She said, feel free to take ours for a walk whenever you want 
How lovely, and insightful
I went home and rugged up a little more, thought Do it Serene, do it now..
That doggie, Boots, nearly licked me to death lol, she's an 8 month old Bordie Collie/Bull Mastiff, full of energy and nearly ripped my arms out of their sockets during our one hour walk lol.
She enjoyed it so much, as did I, a bit of pet therapy which lifted my heart for a little while

Thought another pup might do the trick , I go through the same thing every two-three years having half a dozen . Luxury of moping around is soon forgotten when one of the sods grabs a leg of mine while sitting on the quad bike , they get excited no end when the bike is starting . You go on or you go under I guess .A neighbor said Oh, no doggie today?? I said No, my doggie's gone, choking back a sob..

Yes you're right Epi, getting involved with a young strong pup was joyful.
I'll do it again soon, she's a girl who needs loads of exercise, probably not suited to a small suburban yard tbh, but they love her to bits and that's what matters.

Thinking of you Digga
Just back from a week at my daughter's, so lovely, got lots of doggy love from my granddog, Peggy.
Was incredibly hard to walk back into the house knowing my boy would not be here..
I wonder when every move I make and every thing I do will stop bringing a sudden jolt of reality - no, he's not gonna come trotting out to the kitchen when I'm cooking, no more little expectant looks and wagging tail when I put 'those' shoes on and grab the house keys, no turning a corner and seeing that little mite sitting inside the front door, watching the world go by.
And a million other things.
His ashes are here now, it's somehow comforting as though he's come home in a way.
But he never really left.
