It's nice that they will be able to celebrate Layla's birthday...even if "just" in spirit.

My heart goes out to each and every person here.
I can honestly say I have not lost a dog in almost 30 years. I lost Trojan (Giant Alaskan Malamute) January 19, 1983 and I swore I would never feel that kind of loss again.
Then, 20 years later, my daughter brought home a lab cross (hers, not mine). I held to my position, there was no way "I" was having another dog even tho this puppy weasled his way into my heart. When Rhansym (the lab) was 4, my daughter decided it was time for him to have a friend because he spent so much time alone. So, off we went to rescue a newf puppy (Haddley). Haddley was a bit too much for my daughter. Whatever Rhansym was a cross with was a highly intelligent breed and Haddley being a puppy and not as quick as Rhansym was, they just were not made for each other. Needless to say, by this time the "little" ball of hair had stolen my heart. She was not going to a shelter or another home, she was staying. She became my dog and the rest as they say is history.
The most important thing that I have learned from Haddley and Rhansym was that I missed so much by not allowing another dog into my life.
I do still have Trojan's collar and a picture of me and him in my jewelry box and it still brings tears to my eyes. Does it get easier? I don't think so, I think we just learn to live with it.
I send hugs to all of you.

I don't think it ever gets easier either. I'm a total failure at learning-to-let-go.
Beautiful slide show - good thing I haven't put on any eye makeup yet this morning -
While it chokes me up to see an entire life flash like that, it made me smile too to see how well loved he was too.
thanks for sharing it.

In Loving Memory, Ch. Wynship's Seabiscuit "Dooley"
I've found comfort in these posts and wanted to share my tribute to Dooley, who loved us for 13.5 years. There's a Newf in My Soup!

What a beautiful tribute, I'm so sorry, 13 1/2 yrs is a long time, but you have wonderful memories in your photos.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Dooley was a beautiful spirit, he still is, and your tribute made it clear you shared a special bond. We will remember him with you.

Dooley was gorgeous, I am sorry for your loss
I think all our dogs, here on NN, are all lucky to have been so loved and now missed.........I still miss mine and it is comforting to come here and see that people care so much and understand.
I will never be without dogs, each and every one has its own special place in my heart. But with a smile I am imaging the day I arrive at Rainbow Bridge and get completely run over by all my Angels

I had the strangest dream last night. Angus was lost and I was driving all over the place, looking for him. I stopped at one place and someone told me they saw a dog like him down the road in a park. I drove to it and there was Angus, running and playing with several other Newfs. I was on a hillside and the park was very green and in a valley below me. I called him and he ran to me and then he wanted to go back and play with them again. It was So Real...even now I can see and almost feel his big plume of a tail waving as he runs. He died 10 years ago in October, but I can feel him this very minute. My heart feels so full right now and I'm crying.

well its been one month since I lost my boy and despite the fun of a puppy we seem to spend every day crying at something he would have done.
Saw some photos my friend took off him a few weeks before he passed and that was it - we were off again.
keep looking at some of his photos and videos daily so we can remember him as he was.
between the stress of it all its actually helped me loose weight though its not the way I would have wanted to do it.
wherever you are baby we miss you so much and cant wait till we are all reunited as one big happy family
