I know how you feel stick. It is just like losing a child when pet dies. I too buried my Sandy under her favorite tree. And yes, I cried like a baby too.
I am sooo sorry stick.I am very attached to my pets too, I treat them just like the kids-only they get more priveleges. I feel for you both and know how hard it is to lose them.

Re: We Lost Our Child Tonight
i am so sorry to hear about jo jo. i know how you feel. last year my brother got a puppy for his birthday and not 3 1/2 months after he got it, he was killed by a guy in a truck, speeding through a neighborhood. it happened in front of his eyes. so i know what you're going through, and though right now you don't even want to consider it, probably, the thing that helped us the most was getting another puppy. he is a trip and i am glad i got him. it will get eaiser. time heals all wounds. and if ya need anything let me know.
My hands tremble, my voice quakes,
my heart cries out, my body shakes,
my tears fall, my breath stills,
my strenght fails, my mind reels.....

Re: We Lost Our Child Tonight
Sorry to hear Stick, nothing is safe trying to cross that highway.
I called home just the other day and my sister informed me that my boxer of 10 years had passed away. Gotta say, it took me a few seconds before I replied. No doubt , mans best friend. they listen when no one else will. They apprciate the pat on the head and return it with a wag of the tail. They are always happy when you come home. God bless em'
Sorry about JO JO! Moma told me about your post on here...I got your email the other night. Moma was crying after reading your post. WE WILL MISS JO JO TOO!! WE LOVE YOU!!
So sorry stick...nothing like the unconditional love of a pet...I have cried many tears over my animals over the years - dogs, cats, and one of my favorites, a fox squirell...I feel your pain

It's been almost three weeks since Jo-Jo was killed. I cried like a baby every day for the first week, then every other day for the second week.
I had a dream about him Thursday (I was sleeping days cause I had worked the night before). I dreamed he was standing there and I was brushing him with his Sheddn' Blade as we did so many times before. I was brushing him and rubbing the shed hair off him. The dream was real enough I could almost feel him! Sadly, it was interrupted. I heard something soudned like the garage door opening that awoke me from my dream. I cried again off and on the rest of the evening.
I went out today to get in my truck to run some errands around town. It had been sunny and warm here earlier today. When I got inside my truck, my truck smelled like Jo-Jo on the inside! (He liked to ride in the front of the truck with us when we would let him.) Again, I cried.
I miss our dog. I think about him daily. These special reminders (the dream from Thursday and his smell in my truck today) make his loss a little tougher on me sometimes, but I treasure them!
