R.I.P. Ellie...

[mad german]

Without going into the details, we had to put our dog, Ellie, down today. She was a rescue my wife saved way back in 2006. She was a very skittish dog who lived in a pen the first 1.5 years of her life. My bride rescued her and gave a new life. She lived the rest of her days with our other dogs and as much love as you can give a dog.

I miss you already, Ellie.

You have my sincerest condolences and compassion.

My username is my dogs nickname that I lost years ago. My avatar is her pic. I am a big dog lover. It is sad, they should live longer. I have never gotten over her loss.

My current dog is a rescue doberman who came to us with many issues. It took a long time but she has really turned around. It brings a smile to my face that you gave a damaged dog a loving home. :) You are good people!

Sorry for your loss. I wish I could do or say more. Again, I wish there was a hug emoji...

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

So sorry. It's one of the hardest things anyone ever has to do. There is a saying that all dogs go to heaven, and I think it is true.

Sorry for your loss. Our dogs are like our kids. They take a little piece of you when they leave.

So sorry for your loss. Whoever says pets aren't family must not have a heart.

I just read this. I'm truly sorry for your loss M.G.! It's always hard when we have to say goodbye to one of four legged family members. I just wanted to say good for you and your wife for turning that dogs life around and giving her the love and attention she deserves.

A while back my wife (now ex) rescued a Border Collie puppy. She (Bella) was a real mess when we got her but after a few months and lots of work, patience, and love she became one of the best dogs we've ever had. Smart as can be and cute as a button. I'm no longer with my wife (of 24 yrs) and don't miss her one bit but I sure do miss that dog!

Really sorry to hear this. I've been there too many times myself. Condolences to you.

[mad german]

Thank you so much, guys, for all of the well wishes. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that she's gone. I keep looking for her, when the other dogs bark it sounds different without her distinctive voice, it seems odd not having her food bowl out, etc. I've been through this before, and it's never easy. Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Cheers-

[Michael Janich]

My deepest sympathies on your loss. May your memories of her keep her spirit alive forever in your heart...

Stay safe,

Mike

My sincere condolences, M.G. Losing a dear friend is never easy. I hope you will be comforted by many fond memories with her.

I have to stop reading this thread. I still get sick when I think about a couple of my old faithfuls. Some of them have been gone over a decade. I know exactly what you mean.

[SkullBouncer]

I'm So Sorry to read of your beloved Ellie. My condolences and positive waves go out to you and all in concern.

Been there with so many very, very special pets along my life road. When I read your post, it jerked tears, yes. It can leave deep lesions on the master's heart that never completely heal.

Meditate Beautifully Upon, and Honor her Memory, my friend. She awaits you.
I believe it was Will Rogers (?) that said "If dogs don't go to Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they go".
Old Cowboy's wisdom and logic breaches many barriers of which today many will never know.

The Cherished Life's Lost is paid for all too often in pain -- but it reveals the worth of the soul that shoulders that burden. IMHO and Deep in my Soul, it all serves a wide and wonderful plan and purpose.... in the "Omega Concern".
Hang tight, bro.
