MY BEST FRIEND, GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!
Well, after eleven fun filled and loving years, my bestest, bestest friend in all the world, Sally (my dog) had a stroke on Tuesday morning.
It was as if she had waited for the right moment, as on a normal day, Sally would have been on her own when she had the stroke as I usually take Little'un to school and then go straight round to my Sisters and Neeza is usually at work but today both me and Little'un were poorly and Neeza said he would stay off to help, so we were all here with her.
The vet said there was internal bleeding somewhere and if I wanted, he could have tried to find it and stop it with operations but at eleven, I didn't want to put her through all that and anyway, there was a look in her eyes that told me she was quite happy to go now, thankyou.
I bawled my eyes out as I stroked, kissed her and told her she was a good girl and it will all be better soon, they injected her and in a matter of seconds she was gone.
The house is so empty without her. I still automatically go to let her out for her night time piddle and still keep the scraps from meals to one side for her before it dawns on me she isn't here any more.
Neeza says he doesn't want another dog as none could replace our Sal, Little'un wants one straight away. Me, I think it's too soon to say yes or no to anything.
Sally and Little'un Christmas 2007.
Missing you with all my heart, bye, bye baby.
Love ya Sal! XXX

Dearest Azzy, my heart and soul is with you all. There isn't anything I miss more that my last dog, so I commpletely understand how you are feeling at the moment. A dog isn't just a pet, he or she becomes a definitive part of the family - someone who understands how you are feeling and never argues. Someone who is always there when you go home, welcoming you with a wagging tail. Dearest lovely Azzy, I am thinking of you all and send you the warmest hugs. The photo of Sally captures her character perfectly - I am sure she was a wondeful friend. The good thing is that she is discomfort free and running around in the fields of heaven. Azzy, you have ALWAYS been a special friend, and you know where I am if ever you need a chat.
Warm wishes and kind regards,
Your friend always,
Graham :)
Rescue someone who needs you too
You have my heartfelt sympathy.
I am so, so sorry. My animals have been my best friends, too, and each time one dies I mourn for a long time.
Sally sounds as if she was a very special friend.
Thank you all for your kind wishes, I still cry every now and then as I miss her so much. Neeza is coming round to Little'uns idea of another one and I have, therefore, discussed getting a rescue dog like my Sister has, we'll see.
I haven't made my mind up just yet but thinking of some poor, badly treated dog and the fact that it would have a loving and happy home then I probably will.
Who am I kidding! Of course I will.
I'm so sorry. I'm beaming big bird hugs your way right now to make you feel just a tiny bit better!

I am so sorry to read about your beloved dog. We had a recent addition of our family (with four legs) and I cannot imagine how we would all feel if he left us. In fact, he is an inspired part of the stories my son and I created. That is how we found you. You posted a comment on our blog, The Adventures of Fred and Chloe (fredandchloe.blogspot.com). Thank you for that. My son thought it was pretty neat that someone oceans away was reading our story. We just posted a new chapter and hope you and your daughter will again enjoy it. Our best wishes to you and your family.
I just wanted to stop by and say I am so sorry about your beloved friend. I have lost many pets over the years and I find that it never gets any easier. My cat peaches was one of my greatest friends. He has been gone for over 5 years but I still remember him like he was just here. God Bless
So sorry! I know who it feels to lose 'a family member'. My condolences.
