I'm so, so sorry. That happened to us recently. How did 12 years of cheerful, sweet, silly, loving joy stop so abruptly and instantly? Please accept my sympathy at your loss.
So sorry, Sarah. Nothing really makes it easier, but I know she had the best possible life with you. I loved every single Lavender post and I know so many others did too
I am so sorry. I hope the knowledge that you made her life fuller and better than it ever would have been otherwise can bring you eventual comfort, though I know it will hurt for a long time. We lost Harper four years ago and I still miss her.
So sorry for your loss, Sarah. We lost our first foster, Lizzie, long before she was well enough to be adopted. From the bottom of my heart, may Lavender's memory be a blessing
I've found that to be one of the hardest things in life. Even when I've lost family members, I was usually able to spend time with them and talk to them and know they understood how much I loved them.
When the waves of sadness overwhelm you, remember all the joys you shared. It helps.
There’s no pain like it in the world. I lost my 14 yr old great pyrenees a few months ago and it’s so hard to peruse my photos sometimes. We do the best we can & growl at ppl who say we spoil them, but how can you not? The thing is, we are such better people when we’re loved by a dog ❤️
Ow. Lost my 18 yr old baby last year. He let me know it was time, I didn't want to hear that but knew he was right. The vet and I cried as he went to sleep for the last time. I still miss him.
I just lost my 1.5 yr old puppy on Thursday unexpectedly. So sorry, sending the best vibes your way. Here is a picture of mine, the last one I took of him
Ow, damn! I'm so sorry for you. We're blessed to have their messy little asses while they're with us, but losing them is literally losing family. Accept my virtual hug?
I’m so sorry ❤️❤️❤️ I felt like I knew her based solely on your tweets/skeets and stories of her or pictures of her never failed to make me smile, even when things were extra shitty. I know how much you loved her. Love and care for yourself as hard as you can ❤️
Yup, so many who still need homes. I have 12 urns of ashes on my shelf but 5 dogs and 2 kitties still to care for. The grief stays for each but when others depend on you, life goes on.
I understand. I have 1 dog and 4 cats. Moved to a new rental house and discovered lots of feral kittens. Caught 2 moms with their kittens. one of the moms was already pregnant with more. Socialized the 9 kittens and got them all adopted. Kept the moms and spayed.Their happy campers going on 2y now 😁
Goddamn, I am so sorry. This happened to me recently with my almost 17 year old girl. On our walk the day before she passed she finally saw her first deer (we moved to a rural location). 3 months have passed and I'm still broken.
I’m so sorry for your loss. We recently lost one of our own. It’s interesting she saw her first deer as in some myths deer are messengers between life and death and the sighting of a deer to an dying elder can be that their time to pass has is imminent.
I am so sad to read this. I've been there too many times myself, but with cats. The only thing I have learned is that they never really leave us. Every time we think of our time them, they remind us that their love is still with us, strong as ever.

❤️ to you today.
condolences, friend
And btw our Leo who passed away in July will keep an eye out for Lavender.

I'm so sorry, it really is the hardest thing we go through. Sending big hugs! 💖
Dogs are wonderful but losing them is rough
I lost a beloved pet a few months ago & listened to this song back to back the entire day he passed. It helped in the right (but also the worst) way.
