Is that tiki in the avitar pic ? I’m sorry.

That sucks. Last monday, my dad went through somthing very similar and it really tore him up. I saw him today, and he’s doing better though. Very sorry about your loss. Frame his collar and hang it over a doorway facing west.

My sympathies are with you.. I went through practically this very thing a couple of months ago, you can see all the great advice people offered me in the thread about my dog being put down. I don’t know there is an awful lot you can do to speed up the healing process, but time has really helped me along. I still feel sad about it, and the pangs of longing don’t really get any easier to deal with, but as much as possibly just be thankful that it was quick and that you didn’t have to see your beloved pet in agony or pain. You’re in my thoughts, and Tiki is probably now in the same place as my lovely Zak is, playing together and running free and happy.

awww sorry to here that,dogs r so precious and so reliabe and its very sad, take some time out to greive and then maybe think about getting another dog

so sorry to hear this. Hard losing a much loved companion like that ~squidges~ I like hudooguru’s idea of framing the collar perhaps with a picture of Tiki that way he can always be remembered

these things do happen. do u have any idea why he died?
no dog cud replace this one. but having a new one, im sure, wud be good for u.x

i am so sorry for this. i don’t know what to say. it is not easy i am sure. hang on. :(

I am sorry. I love my dogs and it always hurts when one of them dies, especially unexpedly.

First thing I do is get a new dog. It will never replace my old one, but I will eventually fall in love with the puppy which will ease my suffering ~smiles compassionately~

I love dogs and find them to be far more loyal and loving then most humans ~smiles~ I think people could learn from dogs in certain aspects.

I am sorry for your loss. I hope your pain is small and gentle because I know a friend would not want to leave devastation behind. A friend would want a spot left in your heart that is warm and full with his memory. It will be that way even if the missing him now (and later) causes pain you will always remember him warmly and then he will be glad to have done his job.

you gotta get a new baby :)

you need to get a playmate for your dog though, and maybe for your cat too!
