I wish that there was something that I could do, or say that would ease the pain. But there isn't, except to tell you that I understand exactly what you're feeling, because I'm learning to deal with the loss of my best 4 legged friend. The vet told me on june 23rd that Bob probably only had a month to live. Well, I am ever greatfull to have had him until oct 14th,2003. He died in my arms, looking up at me, he let out 2 little cries and went limp, with his eyes still open and looking at me. It took me 3 weeks before I could pick up his food +water bowls in the kitchen. And for a couple of months I found myself still opening the back door carefully, in case he was sleeping there, waiting for me. Maybe some might call this crazy, but a few weeks ago I was standing at the kitchen sink, a I swear I thought I felt him rub/nuzzle my leg, it seemed so real. It's really so obvious why we get so attached to our pets, They are always glad to see you, they are never mad at us, and all they want is to be with us. They Love us unconditionaly, without regard for our looks, our station in life, never judging us, and always willing to die for us to protect us and our loved ones. You don't know me, nor I you, but writing these words has comforted me a little, and I hope you will too. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Thank you....he has been missed and will continue to be....sometimes I think i still hear his howl and start to head out to see what he's baying...as for as his dishes are concerned I still need to wait for the snow to clear so I can find em....he is resting in a crate I set up for him...waiting for the thaw so I can put him in the ground next to his mother. :depressed:

duzenanygood?, I had the same thing happen to me for months after we had to have our lab put to sleep. I felt her nudge me many times. Its weird and sad.

It's really strange, I've had the same thing happen. Our Springer had to be put to sleep 5 years ago. And there are still times I can hear his feet clicking across the bedroom floor and him laying down beside me on the rug. It is so real sometimes, I actually reach down to pat him. I do still miss him and I don't think a day goes by that I don't think about him. :depressed: :grin:
