I'm sad.

susan and gary...love and prayers...everyone else has said everything so eloquently....i do know your pain....
the last message i saw before bed last nite was your fb-i didn't come here-

Margo, my friend, I saw your post on fb, but I can't figure out how to respond individually to messages if there are more than one in the list.

It's been a difficult pet week for us, hasn't it? We'll be okay though. I'm just grateful to have all of you here for me. Not that I ever doubted you would be.

Susan,

Sherlock will be missed but never forgotten. Reading about his antics made me laugh and cry at the same time.

Sending love to you and Gary.

Love,
Annette

That was his life with us. One day he'd have us laughing, the next day we'd want to kill him. He was an adventure, for sure.

Thanks, as always, for being my friend

Susan,
I am so sorry to hear about Sherlock. We are dog people too and know that that is the part of having our furry babies that we just hate. We had to put our doxie Moose to sleep 4 years ago this month and we still miss him, but now we just smile when we talk about things he used to do...
Take care,
Cheryl

Oh Susan, I so feel everything that you are right now. I have lost so many fur babies through the years and each one is a loss all of their own. For each fur baby is an individual and there will never be another one like them.

I know what you are saying about the sofa. I had our Barney who chewed my love seat, my carpet, the bathroom floor, the door, the doorway, and just about every piece of furniture he could wrap his mouth around. But we loved him anyway or should I say through it all and he was one precious baby. I still cry when I think of them...they leave prints on our hearts.

I am sending love and hugs to you and Gary and you are in my prayers too.

Susan - I am soooo sorry for your loss.  Sherlock gave you lots of love through the years and I hope and pray the pain you are now feeling will soon be replaced by many happy memories of him.  Many hugs being sent your way.

Oh Susan...I so feel your pain. My heart is just breaking for you. I am just teary right now. Losing a beloved pet is like losing a family member.
I can so relate with this....I cried for days after losing my Ikey!! This may sound dumb but I actually have a little shrine of pictures, statues and awards and such. I miss him yet today and it has been many, many years since I lost him.
I hope you can find comfort in the fact that he is in a happy place and free of pain once more.

I am sorry for your sorrow.

Love ya....hugs....connie d

I am so very sorry for your loss...
We love our furry and feathered children - They aren't our pets but rather our kids. I'm sure Sherlock is in heaven enjoying everythig he loved here with you! 

Many have been there before.  My old dog Max who was 14 died after my late husband and the day I came home and told him I was engaged to be married again.  To this day I can't tell if he left cause he didn't want another marriage or if he knew I would not be ok when him gone - I of couse prefer the latter.  

As a good friend told me - this hole will be filled - and he was right - but not really filled so much as well - made more full.  It took 2 dogs to replace Max from my life.  Jake and Malcolm are now on pup patrol.  

Max - he is with my late cat Amber and their ol master Mark - after all - pets are God's finest and belong to all souls who care and love them.  

Sherlock was loved - and that is a kindness that does not go unpaid from above.  In the days that follow - feel him there as he tries to share the joy in his new found senses.

Wag more
Bark less

And yes, all good dogs go to heaven
