So sorry for your loss of Lily. I helped my folks say goodbye to their 18 year-old Westie, Jen, last night. It was a long time expected, but it still takes you by surprise and it is one of the worst experiences. Miss her terribly. I fervently believe that our animal companions are integral to God’s Creation and Kingdom. I look forward to the day where I will see departed friends and family, including our animal companions. Prayers to you and your family.

My boys are getting up there, and I dread it every time. I really do wish they lived as long as we.

Take care.

Sorry to hear this. Losing furkids is the worst.

My deepest condolences. I'm more attached to my dogs than I am most humans. Loosing a pet is one of the most painful things we experience in life.

Sorry amigo

My deepest condolences. They are such a huge part of our lives and leave such a big empty spot when they leave. Prayers for you.

So sorry to hear.

Dogs are too good for us; they show us unconditional love. If they were people, they would be the type that ask you how your day is going and actually care about your answer. So it makes sense the day they leave hurts so bad. My dog Snatch master was one of the most loyal creatures you would have ever met. I feel like dogs are the greatest, most selfless creatures on this planet. You have my sincerest condolences.

My sincere condolences.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers sent for Lily and your family.

Sorry to hear, my condolences for your loss of your family member.

Very sorry to hear that. It always is a terrible loss.

Same as losing any family member, my condolences.

My sincere condolences. We lost our 16&1/2 year old Lab in 2018, and it was one of the worst things emotionally. We now have a year old Lab puppy that helps, but I still miss our old dog. I truly believe dogs make us better people.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss & my condolences.

so sorry!

I'm saddened to read of your loss and I sincerely offer my condolences. I recently lost one of ours and it is never easy. I sometimes avoid threads like this because I don't want to think about losing pets, but it's a part of life. I'm glad we have this forum to help each other.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I know how you prepare and it sure doesn't help. In January we lost one dog and our other is going in for tests tomorrow, it ain't easy.

Oh man, so sorry to hear. I still miss my buddy Petey we lost 2 years ago. Want another, but just can't bring myself to get one yet in trying to avoid that pain again.
