My darling Fudge passed away in the night.

Sad news.

 

Gutted for you, pal, and really sad to hear this. I've just got in from work and I'm going to take my best friend Bailey for an extra long walk now.

RIP Fudge.

I am devatated for you and yours

I worship my dogs and have not that long ago lost a couple I so totally know what a dreadful dark place you and yours are in right now. I send my love,heart and prayers to you all.

Don Macarron (Windy) sent me this years ago when my wonderful boy Angus passed away, I hope this helps you a little,

There are various places in which a dog may be buried.

I am thinking now of a setter whose coat was flame in the sunshine and who, so far as I am aware, never entertained a mean or unworthy thought. This setter is buried beneath a cherry tree, under four feet of garden loam and, at it's proper season, the cherry tree strews petals on the green lawn of his grave. Beneath a cherry tree or an apple or any shrub is an excellent place to bury a dog.

Beneath such trees, such shrubs he slept in the drowsy summer or gnawed at a flavourous bone or lifted his head to challenge some intruder. These are good places in life or in death.

Yet it is a small matter for if the dog be well remembered, if sometimes he leaps through your dreams actual as in life, eyes kindling, laughing, begging it matters not at all where that dog sleeps.

On a hill where the wind is unrebuked and trees are roaring or beside a stream he knew in puppyhood, or somewhere in the flatness of a pasture lane where most exhilarating cattle grazed is all one to the dog, and all one to you. And nothing is gained, nothing is lost if memory lives.

But there is one place to bury a dog, if you bury him in this spot he will come to you when you call, come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death and down the well remembered path and to your side again. And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel they shall not growl at him nor resent his coming for he belongs there. People may laugh at you who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper, people who never really had a dog. Smile at them for you shall know something that is hidden from them and which is well worth the knowing.

The best place to bury a dog is in the heart of his master.

 

Re: I am devatated for you and yours

Sorry to hear it pal.

My dog (Fuzzy) is getting near the end & it will break my heart when she goes.

RIP.

Keep your chin up & if you can adopt another one, as there are loads of dogs at Dogs Trust & the like that need you.

 

Condolences mate.

 

Sorry to hear that. Sympathies.

 

Very sorry to hear, and I know exactly how you feel given our own dog is likely going to be given some peace in the next few days as well. It's not before her time as she's 16 but it's still heartbreaking having spent two thirds of my life seeing her nearly every day. As sad as it is, it's not fair letting them live in pain and discomfort and it's comforting to know they'll both be at peace.

I'd held it together the last few days but this has finally set me off

 

Thinking about ya mate. Chin up.

 

Keep your strength together. It's an awful time and not something to look forward to as you are obviously having to.
Let us know on here what happens and when.... you will be guaranteed so much good will it will overwhelm you, as it has done me.

 

believe me

you will have a lot of support from this bbs

 

broke my heart this................i lost my 12 year old spaniel last year....................i feel your pain............it still hurts...........................regards

 

Thank you for your words. She was taken to the vet this afternoon for 3.10 so will have been at peace pretty much when Pearson scored.

RIP Fudge
