My Dog Dreyfus ... My Life Passed Away Tonight

When I returned home from work tonight with my parents , My dog Dreyfus who would of had his 12th birthday next week passed away under the table. He was an old english sheepdog..he was my life. I can't really discribe this feeling. I think I am in shock to see his lifeless body there in peace...away from his pain he was going through the last few weeks. I am so sad. I don't mean to come here and cry but , I need to get my feelings out. Why can't anything good happen I am going to miss my baby so much.

Always In My Heart =*(

Aw, Amneris - I'm so sorry! That's really rough.

Dreyfuss was lucky to have had your love for the entirety of his life - that is a gift that all of us need, and few get. My heart is with you while you move on without him, but the memories are yours for life.

I lost my 21 year old cat, Mr. Sloane, very recently. It was like losing a part of my youth. I'm with you tonight. Prayers and white light, beamed your way.

---

Aww, I'm sorry, Amneris! My prayers are with you and your dog.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Amneris. Take comfort that Dreyfus is free from the pain that he suffered, but will always have your love.

Amneris, I very recently suffered a loss much like yours with my dog Linda. She had been with me since I was only 6 years old and died when I turned 21. I don't remember ever living without her and when she died I was completely heartbroken and couldn't concentrate on anything for a week and a half. But know this: your dog is free of all of his pain. And I know how hard it is even knowing that, but try to remember all of the good memories, the ones that make you laugh or smile while in tears, that is the best way to heal. My thoughts and prayers are with you, darling, and if you need anything just send me a PM.

Amneris -- when I was in college abroad, the dog I had grown up with passed away. My parents had to tell me over the phone; it was heartbreaking. It's difficult -- and sometimes people may think, 'why is it such a big deal? it's not like you lost a family member' -- but often times a beloved pet can be such a big part of your life, so when they leave it's very very hard. My thoughts are with you...

I'm so sorry to hear this Amneris. I've always found it unfair that pets can't live as long as humans. They become our best companions and it's always hard to cope with when they pass away.
My thoughts are with you.

Amneris.

My thoughts are with you. Our pets are so important to our lives. Such unconditional love and comfort. Your strong feelings of loss are the evidence of just how strong the love is that you shared with Dreyfuss.

I honestly believe that in the next life you two will be together again. I truly do. I'm counting on it for all my beloved pets that I have lost over the years. Their memories still make me so happy, and still bring me to tears. :o)

Amneris, so sorry to hear. I just lost my dog this spring after 13 years so I have some idea what you're going through. You are among friends who care! God bless!

My deepest, deepest sympathy Amneris. My thoughts are with you during this sad and difficult time. I know that when the time comes for me to have to deal with my 'baby's' passing, I'll be devastated. I just can't imagine it. Just know that Dreyfus is no longer suffering or in pain, and that he passed away at home, where he was cared for and loved. Dreyfus will always be with you in heart and mind.

Amneris, I lost my dog of 13 years last summer, so I can really feel your pain. Just keep in mind that he had a wonderful life and he passed away peacefully among the people he loved and cared for all his life and now he is free of pain, running and playing in that big field in the sky ! I can tell you what I did to ease the unbearable pain. I went and got a new puppy and it really made me happy. And any thoughts I had that maybe I was betraying my late friend's memory were eased, because i knew that the only thing he would have wanted would be to see me happy again ! So know i have all the great memories in my heart forever, plus a new dog who is incredible and helped me get through my loss ! I know it's early for you to think like that, but whatever you do, keep in mind that Dreyfus had a great happy life because of you and he is now free of all pain and suffering. I am sure he is looking down on you smiling and wishes you would stop suffering, because he is doing great !

Lots of Love and Hugs
