A sad weekend

DS and DiL adopted a golden lab who'd been retired as a gundog. She had 4 years of happy retirement, then the young folk were heartbroken when she died.
Then along came a fit 4year-old Springer who wasn't shaping up as a gundog. She is much loved.
Now they're about to take on another retiring working dog- a black lab aged 9.
Knowing they will go through the sadness of losing her in the not-too-distant future isn't putting them off. The 2 dogs know each other and we think they'll be contented companions.

Hildajennij so verynsorry for your loss, we lost our beloved Rosie last October can't believe it's 3 months I still miss her dreadfully taking her to vets was hardest thing ever done,
We were luckly to have her for nearly 15 years.

It will take time ?

Oh am really sorry and sad for you,I posted re 'our molly' not long ago. Losing a pet is just so so heartbreaking,allow yourself to grieve,be glad you gave her love&happiness...and she was near you until the last,deepest sleep?

So sorry Leemw711 our pets are such a big part of our lives.. At least your lovely cat had a peaceful end and had been well loved. Give your other two extra cuddles now.

So sorry

Just so sad and a shock too - there is no easy way to lose our best friends. Give your other two extra treats and TLC to help all of you

So sorry to hear this, sending every good wish.

Those of us with pets understand the place they hold in our hearts, and the sadness we feel when they leave us.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. Our little cat went out of the catflap in November, and we found her dead at the bottom of the garden two hours later. We think she had a stroke. Last month we adopted another young cat from Cat's Protection,who had an awful time as a stray, and she is settling in well. She is a great comfort to us, after our sudden loss.

It is a sad day for you all. Poor puss. A lovely way for him to go though. Just slipped away in his sleep.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news its heart breaking when we loose a much loved pet,it will not help you when I say at least it was quick and painless for your beloved shadow surrounded by the people who loved him most.
My lovely barney died in his sleep 3 yrs ago now,he got up as usual in the morning went for a walk and chased some rabbits in the park came home had a rest and his lunch then went into his basket for a sleep and never woke up again he was a little rescue JR and he was spoilt for the last yrs of his life we where heart broken hense us homing poppy the La Ahasa and she now rules the household as barney once did.

I'm so sorry. It's not quite three weeks since my little dog died in my arms at the Vet's. Losing a pet is not easy, we just have to remember that we gave them a good life,and they repaid us by being loyal, trusting and entertaining.

So sad for you, Lee, but your cat obviously had a good life, and left it cuddled up to the people he loved.

I am so very sorry, one of my dogs died in her sleep last October, such a shock x
