Goodbye Riley

[Squeeze]

Sincere condolences. It is absolutely heart breaking to let a loved fur baby go. I hope to be greeted in heaven by all the loved pups I've lost over the years.

Condolences to you and your family. This is in the not-too-distant future for us and other family members here... Glad to hear the positive report of the in-home vet service! Good care at times like this is worth its weight in gold. God bless & comfort you all.

Losing a pup is never an easy experience, I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm sad to hear of your pup's passing. It's a damned cheat that our befurred family members have such a short life.

Riley had a great adventure with you. May your wonderful memories help you through this hard time.

[OtterbatHellcat]

And that's the key right there. You will always have the memories and photographs, and in that light, Riley will always be with you. Many of us have had to endure this experience far more often than we would like to for sure.

Peace, GP

Ty all for the kind thoughts. I'm sure we'll end up with another one in the next year or so, but it'll be a little bit before I'll be ready.

So sorry for your loss.

Ty all for the kind thoughts. I'm sure we'll end up with another one in the next year or so, but it'll be a little bit before I'll be ready.

So sorry to hear. We thought the same thing but rescued our first about 4 weeks after and another about six weeks after the first.

There have been times in my life where I've been especially down and my pets were the only ones there to offer comfort and reassurance. I know too well the pain of losing such a treasured and trusted friend.

May you and your family find peace and comfort in the memories you shared with Riley. And, when your heart is ready for it again, may you find love in another pet, friend and family member.

So sorry for your loss. I'm glad you were able to find an outfit like Home to Heaven (link in sig) as it really does make a huge difference.

Definitely wait until you're ready. We aren't ready and I'm not sure if/when we will be. After 15 years of dog ownership & them being our lives my wife and I are just enjoying this break. It's a different life for sure and don't be afraid to enjoy it even though you will feel guilty for doing so. Cherish the time away from your dogs as much as you cherish the time with them. That sounds weird I'm sure with the mindset you're currently in but it will make more sense someday.

Now I'm sure Riley is running in the sun with my dogs loving every minute.

Rest easy Riley.
