I'm pretty new to this ... I'm very glad that I found this page. I just had to let my baby go a week ago (September 6) due to a brain tumor that had just gotten too much for the little guy to handle. He was and is my pride and joy and I miss him terribly. He was mine (or was I his?) for a little over 16 years and life just seems a bit empty without him. I had forgotten how quiet a house could be and how sad. I see him everywhere I look and its bittersweet.

Again, I'm glad I found this place ... I have read the entire site and it's nice to know that there are people who do understand the grief and lonliness surrounding the loss of a beloved pet. Snoops was definitly one of the best and he gave so much to me ... I will be forever grateful that he allowed me to be his even if the time was short (well shorter than I would have liked). Thank you for letting me write this ...

Never doubt YOU were Snoop's human. WOW 16 whole years of having someone who loves you. The two of you were SO lucky. It's funny how we all seem to keep forgetting how long lived WE are compared to our pets. But OH I'd go through all the pain again if I had to. My little boys were worth every second of it.

And what smiles and goofy grins they made me wear!!!! If you like, tell us about Snoop if you want to talk - we can smile at the memories WITH you.

Hugs - we share your grief.

Hi beth,
I know how much your missing Snoop at the moment and the heartache at times will seem unbearable, but eventually you will catch yourself smiling at a memory and realise that finally you can remember without crying.

I know its not an easy decision that you made but you made it for him with no consideration for yourself and that (I can finally accept for myself) is unconditional love.

Love Sue

Beth,

We are also glad you found this site.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

It is amazing how quiet a house can be. ... And I kknow how empty and lonely it feels. The pain will ease with time... I am stillnot at the point of smiling when I remember, but it does get easier.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love,
Jennifer
