Thankyou all for your kind words,Jims dad has just left,he has a lot to digest,will meet again to tomorrow.
MIY Rosie wasnt a support dog,she is a daft as a brush lab who loves to play ball,and run in the breeze with ears and tongue flapping and a big grin on her face.

Aww bless her, she will miss him so much, but a farm will be great for her! x

A very moving post, so sorry for your loss downtoearth condolences.

GSM I agree dogs are a huge comfort,I cant resist a hello and a stroke when Iam out and about.

Poor man. I hope tomorrow will be a little easier for both of you.
What a lovely picture you paint of Rosie. Dogs are a great source of comfort aren’t they?

Sending kindest thoughts to you

So sorry for the shock and pain you are going through with the sudden and unexpected loss of such a dear friend. Thank you for sharing the story of Jim and your times together. In those few sentences you were able to paint a complete picture of the very essence of friendship. We should all be so blessed to have and be such a friend. And kudos to you for helping to find a good home for Jim's faithful companion.

Oh what a horrible shock *Downtoearth, you've had a lot to contend with ... was his dog a support dog? I could do with one that's trained up - my useless Golden Retriever didn't have the right temperament, bless him .....!

Very sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss. Its always sad to lose a true friend.

Sorry for your loss 💐 You sound as if you had a lovely friendship, keep those great memories in your heart , I am sure you will miss him but don't let it stop you continuing your life to the full.

I’m so very sorry downtoearth. What a lovely friend you’ve been to him. Thinking of you.

Such very sad news downtoearth and a dreadful shock for you. You will miss your dear friend. 💐

What a shock for you, Downtoearth. Thinking of you. ((hugs)).

How sad for you and what a shock.

I’m so sorry, downtoearth what an awful shock and loss.

Annsixty Jim had a beautiful just 2year old fox red Lab,I went with him to choose her,fortunately I was able to ask the family that still have her mum and sister if they could help,they arranged for her to be kept in the family circle, she will live on a farm and be well loved once more,it was the last thing I could do for him to make sure his beloved girl was looked after.

So sorry to hear of this. Thinking of you and your friend.

So sorry, downtoearth. You would have been a wonderful friend to Jim.

How dreadful and heartbreaking for you to have found him. You sound like you had a really lovely friendship and hopefully, in the fullness of time, you will take comfort from those wonderful memories.
Sending gentle thoughts to you

How very sad downtoearth you will miss him, but remember him fondly and treasure the times shared.
