Your Pet Loss Stories

This morning at home, our toy Fox Terrier of 16 years passed.

She had been ill progressively. We were discussing the next steps. She got up, I helped her to the floor and she collapsed. I put her back up on her comforter and she then started to take her last breaths. I stayed with her telling her we loved her so much until she had passed.

The hole in my heart is just too painful for words. I feel truly at a loss. I dread coming home and not seeing her loving welcoming face looking for a hug and kiss with us all showing our joy at being reunited. She was such a huge huge part of our lives. She is missed already profoundly so.

Thank you for this site at which I can pour out my sorrow. I have dreaded this day for many years because of the love I have felt for this dog, of the love we have shared. Thinking of the many times I would find her loving eyes bathing us with love as she looked upon us. We are so lucky to have been blessed with her coming into our lives. Words seem so limited at this time.
