voyager9 3,433 Posted July 6, 2015 Sorry for your loss. Any that have had the love and companionship of a dog are truly blessed. This is a poem from Wendell Berry's Sabbaths that has always touched me: That's really beautiful. Thank you. This is something my wife sent me. While I know it's probably embellished. But still, our dogs name was Abbey and we have a 4yo daughter. *waterworks* http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2237857/Meredith-Scrivener-Texas-girl-4-mails-letter-heaven-dog-dies--post-office-worker-writes-back.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteF 1,044 Posted July 7, 2015 Eventually, I think yes. That is a good idea. Important safety tip if you get a new pup. They have needle sharp pointy teeth. One of the first things you forget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Porthole 15 Posted July 7, 2015 Our condolences. Been there too many times with our Goldens. Currently have #6 & 7 here. Our last one was the most difficult loss I have ever had to deal with, pets or family. In time, one of the best ways to memorialize your companion is with the the love and affection of a new member to your household, preferably a rescue. Rescue is a GReat way to move forward. In the future when you are ready, we can offer some tips, advice with GR Rescue groups. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
