bigcol Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 We've moved from Peartree to be away from where we're last was as a family To day we've had to put our little boy doggie Tim of nearly 15 years to sleep Loved his boating, on the rough stuff and on the canals We're so devastated, don't know what to do or say so many tears. My little mt8 who never left my bedside through months and years of chemo. I'm a big man, lucky to be here, but my boy has left us feeling empty The Pain is so so much Can't think We love you Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harve90 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 My thoughts are with you Colin, It will take time to get your head round your loss. Think towards a fitting memorial for your pal, in time you will recover. RIP Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeddlad Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sorry to hear of your loss. When you're ill or feeling down, amazing how dogs pick this up and then won't leave your side. Don't know what I'd do without Lucas, my Dachshund. My thoughts are with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddywaters Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Really sorry to hear this, they are a part of the family. I don't have a dog but I do have a cat, can see him having me demented when we move onto a boat. He is to smart for his own good lol.

bargemast Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Dear Col, my thoughts are with you, it's too bad that dogs don't live as long as humans, as you get so attached to them, and they really are our best friends. My last dog, that helped me getting through some rough passages in my life, is still missed enormously, I had to have her put down 1 week before she would have been 17 years old, it was such a hard decision that's still giving me nightmares now 18 years later. I didn't get another dog, although a veterinary girlfriend offered me several lovely puppies over the years, so since having lost my last dog, I haven't got the pleasure of having such a good friend, but I haven't got to worry about their well being either. All the best, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idle boater Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hello Col, Im so very sorry to read about your loss it must be a sad sad time for you, i know its inevitable that the day will always come but all we can do is care for our pets and give them as good a life as possible, and we all know they repay our love a million times over. My oldest lab is going on for nine now and still as daft as a bloody brush, but at least he has got the sence to stay out of the river, unlike out 2 younger labs who will swim at every oppertunity. Bloody dogs !!! My thoughts are with you. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire~rose Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 My heart goes out to you. Any of us who have loved and lost a doggy best friend and part of the family will be sharing in your grief right now. They leave such an enormous hole in your heart and it feels so raw that you think it will never mend. It does but Tim was obviously a very privelidged dog to have been able to share your life. Take comfort in the memories of all those happy times you spent with him. Lile Starry I would love to see a photo of him if you feel you can share one with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comfortably numb Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 So sorry to hear of your loss Colin. People who don't have dogs or cats don't understand why we grieve for them just as we do with humans and that they are loved and cherished the same. I'm dreading the day my beloved dog Laylah leaves my side for good. It's going to be so hard for you but as with any loss of a loved one, time will at least eventually begin to heal the hurt.

OldPeculier Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Very sorry to hear your news. Having done this several times now, I know how it feels. I was sad when my dad died - I cried buckets when Bunty my Great Dane was put to sleep. But, Rather than feel saddened at your loss, You should feel proud and priveliged to have been able to share the little fella's life. Dont mourn his passing, celebrate the great times you had.
