Losing you loved Dog is as if a part of your heart has died,I sympathize your loss,they hold a special place in our lives as we do in theirs.[agnostic.com]

sorry for you loss.

My dog was hit and killed by a car 50 years ago and I still get depressed when I think about it because I blame myself .This type of situation is very hard to recover from when you love your dogs like they are part of the family .My condolences

Of course there is a point to your post. You feel sad, hurt and somehow abounded. I still am grieving for my cat that I had to put down after 25 years. She was very ill and there was nothing else to be done. I was not going to let her suffer. I feel guilty though, I feel like i was a bad pet owner, like I did not love her enough and even now writing this my eyes well up. Henry was loved by you and is still loved by you but it is hard, always hard. You will always remember him, they way he was, his little ways and how you loved him, how much joy he brought you and sometimes how annoyed he made you too.

I am so sorry that you lost an important member of your family.

Such a heartbreaking way to lose a companion in your life. My heart goes out to you. So awful to find him the way you did. Find comfort in knowing that you gave him a wonderful life and he gave you a lot in return, I'm sure of it.

Looking at Henry I'm betting he caught a scent. Hounds are like that.
It's really in their nature.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Dog lover sympathizes with you. My Sassy just turned 11-thats older than my other German Shepherds.
