Aww, geeze, Duffysmom, that is so sad, and I am so sorry for you.

I had to stock the car with Kleenex and swear off having music on the car radio after our first golden died. The second one is now four. He was born two days after the first one died. They are nothing alike--no one could replace Bear--but each is special in his own way, and now no one can replace Crosby.

I hope you'll find some comfort in another dog. Nobody can replace Duffy, but you obviously have enough doggy love in your soul to have another friend.

We've all lost a special little guy, and some more than once, and i know this knowledge doesn't ameliorate your grief, but I hope the notion that we understand and grieve with you has some value.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm so, so sorry to hear of your loss. I know from experience that there is nothing worse than losing a beloved, furry pet. The pain will lessen with time but it will never completely heal, but your happy memories will remain forever.
I wish you peace.

Mike and I are so sorry for your loss. We are dog lovers and have one of our own, a female ****zu named Roxi. She runs the house and we wouldn't have it any other way.

We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved Duffy. I have tears just thinking about how I would feel to lose our dear Marley. There is a website called rainbowsbridge.com that might offer some support and help during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you.

So sorry for your loss of Duffy and am sure he was one special friend. We have lost 3 dogs in the last 5 years due to old age and it never gets any easier. We have our one little girl now and we cherish her each and everyday.

One day you will be together again at Rainbow Bridge.

Our angels are Lucky, Emily and Samantha.

Oh, my goodness. A sad time for you and Duffy's family and loved ones. Most everyone can relate to your sorrow and I hope you take comfort in knowing that you were his BEST human; his loyal friend; loyal enough to know he needed help to feel no pain. Thank you for helping Duffy. We will all be together at Rainbow Bridge.
I wish you and yours PEACE. Duffy knows Peace now and is in a happy place; pain free. He loved you so. Take comfort and soon the tears of sadness will be replaced by warm tears of loving memories of days gone by.

I am so sorry for your loss, We lost our best friend last year and the void is still with us. we did get another but she will not replace the one we lost. Allways remember that he loved you and yes he is at peace. God Bless

I'm so sorry for your loss. I sent you a PM with a link to an article I wrote after the loss of my Maltese, Ariel, in January. It was therapy for me to write it and I hope it may in some small way help you. They are with us for such a short time, they attach themselves to our hearts, and they make us better people from the love that runs both ways. The pain is tough, but the journey IS worth it.

I have thought of you all day. I went to Pooh's home and she said she too was in tears when she heard.

We care deeply.

All of us.
