Sorry for you loss KK......a dog's life is too short......the only fault they have really.

Lately I have been interested in volunteering for an animal rescue group. The videos they provide of some detestable pet owners and the pets that are abused by them make me ill. It made me tear up a little to read your post about Maggie, but I would like to commend you for the love and care you gave her while she was with you. Her time was too short, but she had a great life with your family.
Maggie can't be replaced, but there is a new dog out there somewhere, that will be getting a good life when the time is right for you.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts. These last few days have been some of the emotionally toughest of my life. Maggie's absence is just crushing.

Although Maggie, and her sister Ginger, were not "rescues" - we have 3 others that are. So, we have 4 dogs currently in the family. Maggie was a huge personality so, even with these 4, her absence leaves a huge hole. I am wrestling with grief but I know things will improve as our lives adapt.

God is good ... Otherwise, there is just no point.

Sincerest condolences. As a animal lover myself and having lost my best friend of almost 14 years, I know all to well the pain. I have said before that a dogs only fault is that one day they will break your heart.

The eloquence of your post leaves no doubt of the love you have for [all] your family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Very sorry for your loss! I hope you'll take comfort in knowing that you'll get to see her again one day and never have to worry about her being sick ever again. It'll be play time all the time! I have an English bulldog that's 10 that I am preparing myself to not be around for much longer as these dogs rarely live as long as mine has. I'll probably go into a state of depression for awhile whenever something happens to him. Best advice I can give is to go buy a puppy.
