I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful Duke doggy. He was such a great dog, everyone here loved him so much.
Sorry, I am very late, I must've missed this thread big time.

My sweet Duke. I'm missing you so much. Tears still come in an instant and my heart hurts so much from you being taken from me. Your mama loves you so much. I wish you were still here with me. It's not going to be Christmas without you.

{{{hugs}}} Val. Duke will be looking down on you this Christmas. He will always be a part of you. He is there with you in spirit, a part of your very soul, something no one can take away from you.

I am so sorry.

I am sitting here in tears. I don't know what to say. What does someone say to something like this? I am so sorry.

Still thinking about you Duke and worried about your Mom...

Valerie I saw this poem, it reminded me of you...

From the silence of your pain I heard my name
and on the wings of light I have come
to see the sadness in your eyes
that cry without tears

Can you see me, I am here
I will always be near you
to calm your shattered heart
and to make you smile at the memories

Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur
You ache to believe it's real
but you are afraid to hope
You brush away a strand of hair
But it was I, whispering.....

I am only here for but a moment
The silver thread gently quivers
I will leave behind my love in a dream
When you awaken, and without really knowing why

Your heart will know at last
That it is all right, for now
to say good-bye

I just wish my heart would get the message. Of course, this made me cry. I haven't even vacuumed out the back seat of my car yet because his hairs are still there. It's been almost three weeks and I still feel as if it was just yesterday that he left me

I leave the house a lot these days. I'm out now. It's just too empty without you. I went to the SPCA yesterday and visited with some of the dogs. That made my heart lighter for a while. But now, all it feels is your absence. I wish I could make peace about you being gone. I feel as if my tears will never stop. I miss you, sweet doggie.
