Today we said our last Goodbye to our beautiful, sweet natured Sasha. Thank you Boo bear for more than 16 years of fun and love.

Your dog is the image of my son's elderly black lab. They took her last year aged 12, retired after a hard working life on the grouse moors. They know they won't have her for long but are giving her a contented retirement.
So sorry you had to say goodbye.

Sorry to hear that. It is always sad when a much-loved pet dies. My little cat Stella was PTS in April, aged 18yrs.

You gave your lovely Sasha a good and happy home. x

My thoughts are with you Ginny at this very sad time.
Always remember that your Darling Sasha had over 16 years of fun and love from you. He lived a life of utter happiness, He could never have wished for more. You were his Mum.
You made his life complete.
Thank Goodness for people like you in this world.

Oh, bless you. What a handsome dog. It's always sad when a much-loved pet dies, because they're one of the family.

I had my little cat Stella PTS in April (on my husband's 60th birthday). She was 18.

Love to you xx

Thanks again for the kind messages. We still have her brother ‘Jet’ who is the same age. He seems to be ok at the moment and not too distressed.

So sorry Ginny, it's like losing a member of your family. 16 years is a long time. Dear Sasha x

So sorry for your loss. I know it isn't to everyone's taste but increasingly, the rainbow bridge comes to mind when a much loved family dog leaves us xx

I know how you feel Ginny, we had to let our dog go in June. We think of him everyday.

So sorry Ginny. It's horrendous when we have to let them go. We've had lots of animals over the years and it never gets easier to say Goodbye. My only consolation is that they have been much loved, haven't suffered and the tears I cry are really for me. But I weep buckets nevertheless. Your lovely dog looks just like one of ours did. I'm sniffling a bit now. I hope your sorrow soon fades and you can remember the lovely times. Xx

Thank you all for your kind messages.

So sorry, Ginny, for the pain and grief you’re feeling. Keep looking at Sasha’s photograph and remembering 16 happy years. She had 16 years of your love.
