That's always a hard thing to do, R.I.P. Bonyta.

Default I'm so sorry for your loss

I lost a treasured friend today
The little dog who used to lay
Her gentle head upon my knee
And share her silent thoughts with me...
She'll come no longer to my call
Retrieve no more her favorite ball
A voice far greater than my own
Has called her to His golden throne.

Although my eyes are filled with tears
I thank Him for the happy years
He let her spend down here with me
And for her love and loyalty
When it is time for me to go
And join her there, this much I know...
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she will greet me with her bark.

What a beautiful animal. I have always loved Shepherds. Your words are so loving. I'm sure Bonyta felt the love. Bless you all during this difficult time.

Feeling your pain, Bosoxfan. We love them almost as much as they love us.

We had to put our beloved Shih-Tzu, Sable, down 3 years ago; one of the hardest things we've ever done. So sorry for your loss; there's nothing like the love of a pet.

There is a pain and a grief that only pet lovers know when the time comes to part with God's little creature He entrusted to us for awhile. I am so sorry for your loss. I post not because I think it will make anything better for you, but only that you know I and all the good folks above have experienced this painful tragedy. I pray for God's grace to help you and your family through this bad time.

I congratulate you for posting.

I am heartbroken for you.
I was hoping this wasn't a goodbye to Bonyta; I know how much you loved her.

When I lose a dog, it takes a chunk out of my heart.
I find it helps a bit if I make a little memorial with a candle, a poem, a picture, her collar, etc.
It just makes me feel like I'm honoring her memory.

I'm so sorry.
