    I am so very sorry. Rest in peace, Roxanne; what a wonderful long life you shared with your beloved Jo-Anne! Now you are whole and healthy again at the Rainbow Bridge, waiting to greet her and welcome her home, One Fine Day..

    Deepest sympathy to you, Jo-Anne, and all who love Roxanne so very much.

    I am so sorry. Roxanne had a lovely long life with you. May you take peace in her memory and knowing she is now pain free.

    RIP Roxanne
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Play happy at the Bridge, sweet beloved Roxanne.

    Jo, I so feel for you. So many of us have been there - this is a horrible shock. 23 years is long, but never long enough for we humans as we love our furbabies so so much.

    Just do what you have to do...don't hurry to put her things away, or 'should' yourself into thinking you should feel better. Take your own time. May you and Mark find comfort in each other.

    I dont know which is worse..having the knowledge that they are failing and you have to make that terrible decision, or something takes them suddenly..I have done both in the last six months with three of my babies..just know that you gave her the best life you could..all the love you could and she had the trust in you to do the best thing for her..and that's what you did..it's hard, but we have to think of them over our own connections and emotions at such a sad time.

    My condolences, talk about it, write about it, you need to get it out, and all this helps with the grieving process.

    Take care.

    My heartfelt condolances for your loss of Roxanne. It's hard to lose a loved one so sudden, but it was the best for Roxanne. I hope your memories of a long happy life together will comfort you in this sad time.

    Rest in peace, Roxanne.

    Sleep softly, sweet Roxanne. You had a wonderful long life, that I am sure created many memories with your human. I hope she will enjoy them, in time.
