Labsmum

Crikey, now it's more than 3 months but I'm crying about Maya again tonight. His collar sits on my little low round table. The protea is all I have, it is from a bunch that my friend Sarah brought me when he died. I kept one and made a little alter for him in the place where he used to like to lay. His spot. I looked at it and thought about how they were both living at the same time. I wondered where he was and what state his bod might be in. I'd give anything to be able to put my arms around him and give him a big cuddle and a kiss on the forehead like I used to. I'm looking after the girls better now and don't think gender matters. I was just biased and loopy over Maya dieing. They are all dogs and dogs are grouse. I've got two other yellow labradors, a mother and daughter. I'm not doing very well with the training and they are somewhat unruelly. The young one still jumps up on me etc. But it is interesting to watch that when the pup (being now 2years old!) upsets me the mum steps in and disciplines her. My heart is all over the place after loosing Maya. I've had a runny nose ever since as though I am constantly crying inside if not outside. Maya was unruelly until he was about 6 years old, then he became the best behaved dog without much need for training. All I can say to finish this post is I was always kind to him. Thanks for reading if you read this post. It's a love story. I love him so very much. And now he is gone somewhere else.

My commiserations dougal, one of the most difficult decisions to make, but kind for Barney. RIP little boy

As time passes you realise the gift they left you with. Sorry, I'm having another sook as I write. Better to have loved and lost. Thanks for the pics, what an outstandingly handsome dog. I don't know what else to say but am close to knowing how you feel. My prayers be with you and Cadence.

My sympathy for your loss. What a handsome boy! I cried for months when my boy had to part the earth in June this year. Go easy on yourself, that's what he would want for you. Welcome to the forum. There are many folks here who understand how you feel. My tears came back when I saw your post and pic of him. I'll light a candle for him tonight. My blessings to you, B1 and Attila the hun.

So sorry to hear about Glenda. RIP dear girl. Best wishes and comforting thoughts to you and your mum too.

It is getting better. I'm not getting over loosing him but realising what he gave me and others and appreciating it.

Maybe it might be time to get an opinion from another vet. 17 is very old for a dog. Make his last days/years happy ones.

PS. My first dog was a boxer, I was only 8 years old then. His name was Montey. He was beautiful too.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Know how you feel, not that that helps at all. My boy went to heaven on 1st June. I cannot sleep, I cry often, daily. I even see the places he was, where he waited for me shopping etc. I look at those spots and it is an empty ghost. Sorry if I am being selfish. I mean to send you well wishes and understanding of your pain. I think truelly though your life has to be redesigned after you loose such a soul buddy. You might find too, as I have, that you will no longer tolerate any trickey relations you might have in your life. RIP dear Nelson

Hope those dogs mentioned are not on death row now. Sorry, I'm a bit slow to catch on sometimes.

So sorry to hear about little Flissie. My thoughts are with you, RIP little sweet one.

Run free little girl.

My thoughts are with you, RIP beautiful girl

I was feeding mine Supercoat due to budget constraints. One of my girls (a labrador!) is a fussy eater . I've switched to Bonnie and she's eating better now. I use dried food as a staple and mix in veggies, fresh meat, egg, any suitable leftovers and of course bones. I did notice on that on Supercoat there were a lot more poos to pick up The slightly overweight one still gets a bit of Supercoat, light and mature.

RIP little Kandy. Lovely storeys about your adventures firstnoel. She had a good life. I understand your pain for her loss. Welcome to the forum. I lost my boy not long ago and the people here understand more than many in my 'landlife'. RIP Kandy

RIP Dear Jake. :D I think their little spirits might walk around the house for a while until they find their way to the bridge

I'm sorry, RIP sweet girl :D

Lots of love, her name suits her, thinking of you mum and grandma. RIP beautiful girl.

I am having such huge trouble getting over Maya's departure. It was the 1st of June, he was a 15 year old ladbrador retriever. I've been crying ever since. I have gone quite mental in fact. I am not getting over him. My girl labradors need the help. I still feed them but now it is late in the day when they get fed. Oh crickey, I nearly scared someone off the forum today, my ego got a bit bruised by this kid telling me to take my barbie doll somewhere else. I am just missing my boy so much. Why did this boy dog get in to my heart? About a boy? Gender opinions please. There is something about a boy dog. Am I nuts?

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. What a pretty angel. It is very hard and borders on feeling impossible to deal with. I cannot offer any more logic than this. You are not alone and have come to a good place to share it, Kaye

Thanks for the pic. She's a sweety. I understand how you must feel. I took Maya back to all his favourite places before he went to the bridge. He loved it.

Very sweet poem, thankyou. What is her name?

One moon now since Maya went to the bridge. I hope he has met a lot of new buddies and is having fun running along them clouds.

So sorry to hear about little Buddy. I hope he meets Maya and they will be best mates, the two new boys on the bridge.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Billy. May the little darling rest in peace. Cry an ocean, it is OK to do so. Be kind to yourself too please. Billyb would like that
