Not really sure what to put here

Oh no Chicken I am so sorry, RIP Buster. I think its rather like loosing any person that is close to you, it takes time but things do get better day by day ?

Oh god Chooks, i'm so so sorry ?

Reading your post has really put a lump in my throat and taken me back to the day we lost our dog, I really didn't think i'd ever get over it, he'd been a family member for as far back as my memory went. I know how hard it is and really don't know what else to say other than it will stop hurting but takes time. I wish I could say something more meaningful.

Oh no I'm so sorry. From what you have said in the past he has had a good innings so remember the good times. It does get easier with time. ?

Oh no, I am really sorry? RIP Buster xx

Oh no. Chicken i'm so very sorry to hear of your loss.

It's perfectly clear from your posts on here how much you love your B man.

?

Oh I'm so sorry...have an inadequate ?

Oh, Chicken, I am so sorry to hear about Buster. It's just like when someone dies, and probably never stops hurting properly. But in time you'll take pleasure in all the happy memories - you must have tons after 14 1/2 years

Big hugs to you ?

I'm really sorry, what a sad end to the day ?

Oh God, Lovely, I'm so so sorry to hear that. What a shock that must be for you.

I don't know what to say to make anything any better, although I wish there were something. My heart is breaking for you, sweetheart, I know how devoted you are.

Please please please let me know if there's anything I can do, I mean it. You know where I am if you need me, I am always here for you ?

Oh no, Chicken, I'm so sorry. ?

Of course you're gutted, it's just like losing any other member of your family. It will get better, but you need to allow yourself time to grieve for him.

Oh Chook I'm so very sorry ?

Chook I am so, so sorry. I wish I could give you a big hug (even though you'd hate it).

You know where I am if you need a sympathetic ear ?

I'm so so sorry ?

I was wondering how he was earlier

Oh Chooks I'm so sorry ?

Oh Chicken, I am so, so sorry ?

In my experience the hurt and loss never really goes away, just like when you lose a human friend, the pain gets easier and you eventually stop thinking of them everyday but it's always there in the background. Maybe I'm just a looper but 20 months on I still have days when I think of our dog and find myself upset and I didn't live with him (he was mine all through my teens but when I left home a few years ago I left him with Mum)...

We learnt many years ago when our first family dog died that the best thing for us was to have another dog pretty soon, so when Ollie died we started looking for a new pup within a few days. I know that might sound harsh but for us, and my Mum especially, an empty house was just too unbareable - although I know others who years on still can't think about another dog.

I don't usually do fluffy and find it hard to show my emotions but what really helped me was a poem the crematorium sent with his ashes - I don't want to upset you but if you think it might help I can post it.

Thinking of you, and Buster x

I am so sorry Chicken. I know what a huge part of your life he was.

RIP Buster and a huge ? for you xxx

Thanks all, means a lot. I just can't believe he's gone.

I'm so sorry Chicken. He was certainly a well loved Buster ?

I'm sorry to hear that, Chicken

He was a part of your life for a long time, and will always be in your memories ?

You won't for a little while, lovely, because it's been a huge shock to you.

It's only just happened and you need to be kind to yourself, when our cat died we had him cremated and have kept his ashes in a lovely box with his name on, it's a real comfort to see him there when I go to my mums, and I in no way had the connection that you did with Buster. Maybe that would help eventually.

I think you need to give yourself some time, it's perfectly ok to grieve and take time for yourself, sweetheart. ?

Oh Chicken, I'm so sorry xx

Oh, Chook, that is a terrible, terrible loss. I'm so sorry to hear that. ?

I can only echo what Petal says buddy, you've suffered a huge loss here - be kind to yourself and don't try and force yourself not to be upset ?

Oh no I'm sorry. We had my boxer put to sleep 3 years ago and I still feel sad sometimes (usually about kerazy things like "ah he never got the chance to meet my current dog and they'd have got on so well!) It hurts so much when they go, like if any family member dies. ?

RIP Buster

I'm all over the place. Trying hard not to be melodramatic and all that but he really was my little boy. I just want him back. Feel a bit broken.

Thanks again all. Night.

? I know buddy, it's not melodramatic, it's ok to feel like that - I wish we could bring him back for you.

Such sad news - we have had to say goodbye to a few dogs and it is awful - i think it is even harder when they dont live with you because it takes longer to come to terms with them having gone

i still miss them all - nothing takes that away - but in time it is less painful

thinking of you and your lovely boy xx

Chook, the most upset I've ever seen my Dad (an sensitive soul at the best of times) is when we had to have our cat put down when I was about 9. He wept buckets.

Hope you manage to get some sleep.

I'm really sorry to hear this ?

I'm really sorry to hear this ?

I'm so sorry to hear that ☹️ ? It's awful when you loose a pet who is so close to you.

Oh chook I'm so sorry. what a dreadful shock to you x
