I only had Jack for a short 7 years. He survived Chemo 2 years ago and did well until early summer. His heart just went into failure and he slowed down over a period of weeks and last sunday he just stopped in my arms. I stayed home during my vacation in August just to be with him. He is the youngest of my 3 dogs. The remaining two are large and elderly. I needed him to be around when they got old and went. He was the love of my life, my baby boy and all I do now is wake up soaking wet with dreams of total loss of everything. Little sympathy with friends or family. They all have partners or spouses or something. I had Jack and am lucky to still have my Golden and my Mutt mix. But the hurt is... Well, you all know. That's why we are here. Thanks for having a place to express. Couldn't even type last week.

DITTO LREDHORSE. MY SLEEP AND LIFE HAS BEEN 'HELL' FOR THE LAST 2 1/2 MONTHS. WAKE UP AND THAT ICE COLD REALITY HITS YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE AND HEART: "OH MY GOD, THEY'RE ~REALLY GONE~. HAS ANYONE ELSE SUFFERED DISTURBED SLEEP LIKE THIS ?
AND NO PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A "CARE" DO THEY. THIS MAKES ME EVEN SADDER FOR LOOSING THE ONE LITTLE BUGGER WHO DID GIVE A CARE "DOLLY"..
NEVER MET A PERSON WHO COULD SENT OUT THAT MUCH INNOCENT LOVE; PROBABLY NEVER WILL EITHER.
LREDH. JACK HAS THAT SAME LOVING EXPRESSION THAT DOL HAD.
GOD I'LL NEVER GET OVER THIS.

Heartfelt hugs full of empathy to you both

You have to feel sorry for those that don’t sympathise, the reason is that they have never felt that unconditional love between to living beings, that is so sad for them.

You will never stop loving your babies, but the heartache eases and happy memories start to make you smile instead of bad memories making you cry.

You are special people that have had your hearts touched with love your friends and family are should be pitied
