I don't even have a dog and I can feel the pain. Allergies prevent me from having dogs so house cats are my little buds. It's amazing, dog, cat, you are the world to them.

Don't feel sad. Remember the good times. Those are tears of joy, not pain. You gave Sammy the best 2.5 years of his life and he's not soon to forget it. You'll see him again someday.

"All dogs go to Heaven"

I don't believe it can ever be an easy loss. I have lost a few dogs and have another that I dread the day she will leave me. I feel for you and your family and know that time will heal the wounds and will leave you with some very special memories forever.

I found a place that will take his ashes and mix them into a mixture and make a patio stone out of it. they will put in a picture and lots of other options, it was the neatest thing I've seen. I've got mine designed in my head already and that way Jake will still greet people at the front door just like he used to, and I can take him wherever I go!! just a neat memorial!! cost is about 200 dollars, but I won't bat an eye at it. email me if you want more information.

Such a sad day with the loss of such a dear friend. I have been through this a few times myself and it certainly is never easy. Rest assured that your Sammy is probably the one thanking you for giving him a second chance at a happy life. I hope those thoughts and your warm memories of Sammy keep him in a special spot near to your heart. I wish you and your family all the best as you begin your healing. Rest peacefully Sammy.

Sorry for your loss, It is never easy losing our friends.

The loss of a dog is one that seams to hurt more than most. A guy gets a dog, brings it into his home, and dedicates 10 or so years of his life to the animal. Then it is gone. Just like that. It is easy to forget how that feals when you get the next one. But when the day comes it hits just as hard.

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you have a lot of good memories.
