    Lost my dog today.

    We know they don’t live as long as a two legged friend, but still it hurts real bad when they have to go.

    Lost my Collie today. We took him to the vet but he didn’t make it, passing away about an hour after checking in.

    I don’t think I’ll ever own another dog. Been around Collies since I was a toddler, and they have always been my best dog friends. That means 40 years.

    Go in peace, amigo. Thanks for meeting me in this lifetime and spending yours with me.

    Sorry for your loss Sergio, I know what it feels like. My last two dogs were collie/shepherd mixes and I loved them both. When the last was enabled to pass on I said that was enough puppy heartache for me. But…I keep thinking that one of these days I may want to add a Bernese Mountain Dog to our family to keep me warm in my aging days.

    So sorry, Sergio. It's a hard thing to deal with.

    Sorry to hear, even when you know it's coming, it still sucks. Time to pick up the axe and fade away into some blues.

    Lo siento, mi amigo.

    We're "cat people" but we know that feeling all too well.

    Let grief run its course then perhaps in time you'll seek the companionship of a special friend once again.

    Re: Lost my dog today.

    Sorry for your loss Sergio,

    But it sounds like he was loved and cared for during his life and that's what matters. A dog's love is unconditional, it's one of the purest things we get to experience in our lives.

    I know right now you feel like you've been punched in the gut but trust us, that won't last and soon enough that pain will be replaced with warm memories.


    Again, my most sincere condolences Sergio.

    Chuck


    PS: Not getting another dog and ever going through this heartache again? Yeah, been there - lasted about 3 months. Look at it this way: somewhere out there there's a dog out there that needs you. Take your time, heal and when it feels right please consider a rescue.

    I'm sorry to hear this Sergio. They are special and thats for sure. If it didn't hurt so bad that would just mean that they didn't hold as much of our heart as they do. When they leave they take that piece with them. You can hold som solace in that they give it back when you meet again. That....is love!

    Yes, and what makes me feel just a little less bad is knowing that I was the best possible owner/friend/brother (that’s how I always felt) this dog could have had. We were real friends.

    I’d like to clarify that yes, I do love humans more and hold my two legged friends dearest (you guys included, many are REAL friends outside TFF) despite the fact that I loved my dogs. I am not into the “The more I know my dogs, the less I like people” clichè. But this collie was special. And there can’t be more love for dogs than I gave mine.

    I'm really sorry for your loss. Having a companion like that is a real gift and not to be taken lightly. I'm going to go hug my dog now...

    Sorry to hear about this Sergio. I still miss my little buddy Pablo. I'm actually glad that a little piece of them stays in our hearts for a very long time.

    It's taken me a while to respond because it hurts my heart when this happens to the wonderful friends/babies that we love as much as any other family member. I'm sorry for your loss, and I do feel the pain with you. Love to you, my bud.
