 Shandy (1994-2010)

My sweet Shandy went to eternal sleep in my arms this morning at 9:30 a.m..  I can't imagine life without him. My heart is breaking, but at least I know he is not suffering anymore.

16 years is quite a long life for a dog, but I know how you feel. It's horrible to loose such a close member of the family. In the past three years I've lost three dogs, at the ages of 14, 15 and 16 each and two horses at the ages of 21, and 23. It's always a kick in the gut to deal with. Sorry for your loss

I am so sorry. We lost our Barney the end of last month too. She was about the same age as yours. It was hard but it's getting easier a little bit everyday and as time goes by you'll have your happy memories of your friend to remember.

My email system went down for two days and I only just found yours while sifting through everything the backlog.

I feel for your loss. It's so hard to lose someone so close to us. Those who don't understand often make our grieving harder. Please know that your other readers and I do understand.

so so very sorry Brenda, (((((( hugs ))))))

I have never fully recovered from the same thing happening to me when Jed our Siberian Husky died on my lap on 14th January 1996. I still think of him and all the good times we had together then fill up with tears occasionally. It gets easier to live with but is always there so its important to allow yourself to smile about your loved one too from time to time to balance things out a bit.

I'm so sorry Brenda - please remember that you gave him the final, ultimate gift you could ever give and I'm positive he is forever grateful for that. Keep your eyes and ears open and I'm sure you'll feel him around you soon. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry Brenda! Losing a beloved pet that was such a large part of your life is indeed a hard thing to get over. My thoughts are with you...

Brenda-I'm so sorry to read this about your little boy. I fell in love with your little boy when I saw him in his sock sweater you made (that picture is so adorable), and that is the first pattern I'm going to try to do after I get the basics down. I hope you are doing OK and I believe that our furry babies are always attached to us even after they pass. My prayers are with you.

Hi Brenda,

I'm so sorry to hear that you lost a great pal in Shandy. He looks like a nice dog in the picture. There's nothing worse than losing the one you love, human or animal.
