Thank you all for your nice messages...what a warm and sympathetic group of people. Please give your dogs a big hug for us.

Before humans die, they write their last Will & Testament, and give their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask....

To a poor and lonely stray I'd give:

My happy home.
My bowl, cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys.
The lap which I loved so much.
The hand that stroked my fur and the sweet voice which spoke my name.
I'd will to the sad scared shelter dog the place I had in my human's heart, of which there seemed no bounds.

So when I die please do not say, "I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand." Instead go find an unloved dog; one whose life has held no joy or hope and give MY place to him.

This is the only thing I can give...the love I left behind.

We are sorry to hear of the loss of your best friend.

She looked like one happy dog! Remember the times you had with her, not the fact that she is gone. Sorry for your loss.

We share your sadness and hope the gift of time will heal your broken hearts.

I have lost several dogs over my lifetime and they all had their own characteristics and I loved them all. The only way I found to get over the hurt and loneliness was to go get a replacement. Amazing how great this works and they again melt your heart. God knew what he was doing when he made dogs.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you. Please know that many of us have lost a beloved pet and are wishing you love and comfort.

Have lost a few canine best friends myself. Hope these heartfelt messages from fellow dog lovers help.

I'm so sorry. I love the picture of Callie smiling in the snow; such a beauty.
Having her company for so many years was a blessing and I'm happy that her passing was painless. Cherish the memories.

I am so sorry for your loss. We just learned today that our Golden Retriever, Sophie, has cancer and is not expected to last more than a few weeks. We brought her home and gave her lots of love and extra treats tonight.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My little "Minnie" is 14 1/2 and I see her going down hill everyday and know the end is near. It's so hard to watch.

My heart hurts for you. We know what you are going through.

[gerryann]

It's always so very hard when we lose our beloved pets. Sorry for your loss.

[mainlander]

I know that pain, as many here do as well. I am so sorry for your loss. His devotion will remain forever in your memory.

It's always so difficult, but I'm sure she had a wonderful life with parents like you.
