My condolences on the loss of your fur kid


I got to name him, and my wife named Sebastian. I named him after my childhood hero. Unfortunately my MacGyver was not as bright as the fictional character but what he lacked in brains he made up for in sweetness. I really miss him a lot.

I really do appreciate all the warm thoughts and condolences - it really does help! I’m still super sad but have been able to look at pictures today and smile fondly instead of immediately tearing up. Hearing you all share about your fur babies really does help so thanks. I think we all look forward to seeing our fur babies again some day.

Our deepest condolences… Takes a lot to do the right thing in these situations. Love the post about dogs being bits of sunshine on earth.

Sorry for your loss. I have buried many a pet on our property, and it never gets easier. Frown

You can run, but you cannot hide.

If you won't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I wish there was something I could say to help ease the pain, sadly there is nothing.

It is never easy losing a loyal companion. For the years you have them they show how much you mean to them every time you come home and open that door. Sorry for your loss of MacGyver.
