I am so very sorry for your loss.

It will be tough for a while. We miss them so much when they are gone.

So sorry to hear about this.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Please take comfort in knowing that she was loved and cared for so well in her time of need. You are a great person.

Sincere condolences to you and yours. My girl crossed over just days ahead of yours. I know how you feel.

I am so sorry for your loss

Shovelhead~ I am so sorry for your loss of Lola.

You did everything you possibly could throughout her life with you to provide a safe and loving home... She was a lucky dog to have had you, and you, her!

It is painful I know from personal experience in the past. I hope you and your family can savor the good times you had with her.

Not the news I was hoping to hear. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. Our prior dogs, Bud & Wendy, will welcome Lola on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Please, I have one request. I know it is meant to be a comfort but PLEASE nobody post "The Rainbow Bridge".

I cry like a baby whenever I have read that. Lord knows I need no help for crying now.

Thank you for understanding, I just can't take that one now.

I just took some things to the local animal control, actually where we adopted her from in 2011. Hope they can use them.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I will cry for you and for Lola tonight, and will toast you both, and all our friends, gone but not forgotten, and certainly still very much loved.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss—-Godspeed, Lola.

Very sorry for your loss, may Lola have fair winds and a following sea.

Very sorry to hear this. Very Best Wishes for Lola.

I'm sorry you lost your friend.

I want to thank everybody here that has responded. We will heal, it just will take time.

The house is quiet at night, kids grown up and out, while the grandkids are here during the day. Gets quiet at night, my wife goes to bed early as the first grandson is dropped off at 5 A.M. And as I'm the "night owl", my bedtime is 1 or 2 A.M. So at night it becomes book reading, watching TV, sometimes a project, surfing the Internet. Except for the project I'm on the couch. And Lola beside me. S.O.P. was her laying at my side or my feet depending on her mood.

About Scarlett, she was a rescue also like Lola. We adopted her on Halloween 2003. As we had out daughters living with us various times during the subsequent years they brought their dogs with them, so we always had at least two and sometimes three here with us. We adopted Lola for my wife in 2011 after the last one moved out again taking her dog also.

Lola was our problem child, after about a year she started dominating over Scarlett. We tried obedience school with limited success. Finally our solution was a "gated community", child gates in different parts of the house. It worked keeping them separated except for the night time. They both would sleep in bed with us, Lola putting her head on Scarlett's rump. They could not get along during the day but at night they were fine, go figure. We made a commitment when we adopted Lola and meant to keep it, that she had her forever home. Just forever was not long enough, just about three months short of seven years.

We lost "Scar" (her nickname) the day before our first grandson was born in 2016. We came home from the vet hospital and Lola seemed to know I needed her, she jumped up onto the bed but to her last day would not sleep in between my wife and I, that was Scar's place. Lola did her best to be "my girl", she would greet me at night with the happy dance, she was not happy until I sat on the floor with her and allowed me to be mauled by her. In the Jeep, she would go into the back seat and stretch out. So many things, I'm just rambling, sorry.

So to everybody who reads this, hug your dog tonight and think happy thoughts for her. She is free of pain now, hope she finds Scarlett and they will be forever friends, I'm pretty sure they will.

Goodnight.

I'm so sorry. My dogs mean the world to me.

I said many times after Scarlett's passing when someone would remark how Lola followed every move I made.
"Scarlett tapped her on the shoulder that night and told her to TAKE CARE OF DADDY!" She did.
