On Monday the 16th Loki crossed the rainbow bridge. He was the one constant that got me through several moves and a divorce. He passed just shy of his 12th birthday. I knew his time was coming up with how often he was in the vets office for diarrhea and vomiting over the summertime. My son knew something was going on but my daughter kept it in until we all were saying our goodbyes.

My condolences on your loss. So many here have passed in the last year or two, all of them cherished family members.

Thank you

Having had to put down a couple of my own I know the feelings - why can't he live forever? I'm sorry you're having to feel those pains ... as has been said here many times, the memories live on forever, make the ones you remember the happy ones

It's so hard to say goodbye. So sorry for your loss.

Hi - I'm a relatively new and infrequently visiting member, but I saw your post and had to say something.  My husband and I have had several pets together over the years, and each time we lose one it's so painful.  And the most beloved and cherished are the most killer to lose.  Besides our kind of recent addition of Hucklebearie (the stray, young, 75 pound husky who came into our lives about 1 1/2 yrs ago), we have two older dogs.  I know their time is coming, and it's - again - incomprehensible, inconceivable that we could lose them within the next few years.  They are such a part of our lives and have helped get us through some really tough stuff (my husband has had a lot of serious health issues that have left me as his caregiver for nearly the last decade).  I can't imagine life without them.  I don't know what comes next, but I hope it's good and that our babies go there/do that too!!!  Sending you hugs and hoping you find another sweetie to love and be loved by - that's the only cure I know for the horrible pain of losing a furry best friend and family member...

Very sorry for your loss. Although I did not post here too often this was the first place I came to when we got Finley in 2013 and we lost him in 2022. It's a rough thing to go through and we send you all much love.

So sorry. Our boy is 6 and a half and with his seizures we know any day could be the day we have to say goodbye.

Safe travels puppy dog.

i missed this, i am so sorry for your loss. after losing 2 now, i knew Jack was declining after seeing what happened to Sierra, it is still hard to say good bye no matter what the age is or if you knew time was drawing short.
i hope you can reflect on the good days and know he is still with you
