Oh how sad! Wally looked like a beautiful boy. My dad's name was Wally. You gave him a wonderful life and I am sure he knew how much you loved him. RIP Wally! ;)

I am so sorry for your loss. Dolly looked like such a special girl. Having found a huge Eastern brown snake in our back yard last week I am so thankful that I did not lose my girl the same way. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through to lose not one but two special dogs. My thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP Dolly and wait for your mum at the bridge!

I am so sorry for your loss. I have read your stories of Donkey and know how much you loved him. RIP Donkey!

Oh how sad! Poor Rex, and his poor family! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends. RIP Rex, have fun playing with Ruby at the bridge!

This is so sad it made me cry! I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. To come home and find her like that must have been absolutely devastating for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this tragic time. RIP Sahla, and wait for your mummy at the bridge.

What a wonderful tribute to your special girl. Gayle, I am so sorry for your loss. Kassy looks like she was a beautiful girl. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. RIP Kassy and wait for your mum at the bridge.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Run free Molly!

I was glad I was able to find the photos Pheebs! I had to search for them! If you PM me your email address I will send you the larger files. I also have some other photos of her with Brianna and with knobbles' dogs.

Oh newfsie, I am so sorry to read this about Johnno and your friend's horse. After all you have been through with losing Tobias, to lose another beautiful soul must be absolutely devastating for you! RIP Johnno! Wait at the bridge with Tobias! :D Newfsie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time.

Oh dear Jana, I am so sorry to read this. You must be feeling very lonely. My thoughts and prayers are with you. :D

Dear Pheebs, I am so sorry to read about the loss of your beautiful girl Tess. You may not remember, but I was privileged to meet Tess when she was living with Knobbles. My daughter and I both fell in love with her then, she was stunning, an absolutely gorgeous girl. I have just told my daughter about Tess and she is very upset. She said Tess was the first Weimaraner she ever met and she fell in love with the breed because of her. Here are a couple of photos I took of Tess that day. Even though it was five years ago we have never forgotten her. She was an amazing girl and I know that her passing will have left a huge hole in your heart. RIP Tess with no more pain and suffering! Wait for your mum at the rainbow bridge just as you so patiently waited for her all those years ago. You are a good girl and your mummy will miss you very much. Those of us who were privileged to have met you are feeling just a tiny amount of what your mum is feeling, and we are very sad. We will never forget you!

I am so sorry for your loss of your special girl Millie! You must be absolutely devastated. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I'm also saying a special prayer for Sarge as he struggles to cope with the loss of his best friend. RIP beautiful girl Millie!

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I have tears streaming down my face after that beautiful tribute. Tobias was a very special boy, who was blessed to have found a very special family to spend his final days with and to show him what true love is. Bless you all for giving him unconditional love and letting him know pure joy. My thoughts and prayers are with all the members of Toby's family - human and fur, who I am sure are all devastated at his passing. RIP beautiful boy and wait for your family at the bridge.

Oh Kirty, I am so sorry to hear this! You must be absolutely devastated! The poor bunnies! Many years ago we lost one of our rabbits when one of our dogs killed it and it is heartbreaking. Try not to blame the dogs, it is just instinct for them. It is a very rare dog that would not chase a rabbit on the loose. I am sure you can hardly believe it has happened and you are going through "if only...", but it won't bring your bunny babies back, so try not to blame anyone. Sometimes accidents like this just happen when bunnies and dogs live in the same home. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this very sad time. :D RIP Mustang and Hawkins.

Oh dear, six is way too young! I am so very sorry for your loss! RIP Shannon and wait for your mum at the bridge!

I am so sorry for your loss. Mimi was a beautiful girl and she must have left a very big hole in your hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest easy Mimi, reunited with your mum.

Oh no, I am so sorry for your loss! You must be absolutely devastated to lose your two beautiful babies one after the other like this! My thoughts and prayers are with you at this terrible time. Cooper looks like such a beautiful boy. RIP Cooper!

Moselle, I am so very sorry for your loss. You must be absolutely devastated. It will take some time to get over the shock and the grief. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult and sad time. RIP Sophie, wait for your mum at the bridge. :D

What a truly special boy Archie was! I am so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing what a wonderful life you gave him. RIP beautiful boy Archie! ;)

Oh dear Hannah, I have only just seen this. ;) I am so sorry for your tragic loss. Eric was a very special boy and you gave him a wonderful life. I am so thankful that you were there when he died. He slipped away in the arms of his special person, knowing that he was loved and adored. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue to come to terms with your loss. :D RIP beautiful boy Eric, wait for your mummy at the bridge.

Oh look at the dear little fellow! So pleased to hear that he is improving. I hope he is home with you soon and continues to get well in leaps and bounds.

Kaffy, I have only just found this thread and read it from start to finish. What a roller coaster ride you have been on over the past couple of days! Poor Chase and poor you! I am praying for a speedy and full recovery for your baby boy, and for peace and strength for you. I hope to see good news about his improvement in the morning! ;)

Make sure your friend knows not to buy a puppy from a pet shop. It happens so often, someone convinces their friend/relative not to buy a designer dog then they get sick of waiting for a puppy from a registered breeder, fall in love with a puppy in a pet shop and buy it!

I think the Havanese are great little dogs, but they are very expensive! If she has been told that Maltese don't have good temperaments tell her that crossing a Maltese with a Shih Tzu does not guarantee the offspring will not have the Maltese temperament. They can inherit any characteristic from either parent. Why don't people get this? They always think that the specific characteristic they don't want will automatically be cancelled out by crossing the dog with another breed! What if the dog gets the bad qualities from both parents? It's the same as with humans - you never know which features/characteristics a child will inherit from which parent so why would it be any different with dogs? My kids both inherited my weight problems, not their father's ability to eat anything and never put on weight, they both inherited their father's poor maths ability (when I was in the top 10 per cent of the state in maths in my HSC), they are both good at English and music (from me) which is something because their father is hopeless at both. My husband and I are both brunettes, our son is a redhead and our daughter is a blonde! We can't choose what parts of each parent we want in our human children, so why would it be different with dogs? Why don't people use common sense and apply the same logic to breeding dogs? :D Tell her if she buys a crossbred it is like picking the mystery box instead of the prize you can see - you never know what you are going to get!!

Oh dear, that made me cry! I am so sorry for your loss! What an adorable boy Herbert was! My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. RIP Herbert!
