" " It is sad but also explains just how much a companion can mean when you are lonely x | |||
"I can hand on heart say if it wasn't for girl dog I wouldn't be here. I didn't take my own life because I didn't trust anyone else on earth to love her as much as I did. She got anxious when I wasn't around and I couldn't leave her. She saved my life. P" I know how much she meant to you . It was hard listening to her last night, I cuddled Pooch a bit tighter yesterday xx | |||

"Aah, so sad and very poignant. Hugs to your friend.x" Thankyou xx | |||

" It is sad but also explains just how much a companion can mean when you are lonely x" Yes I welled up a little bit reading that. I'd love to have a dog - but I'm not at home enough and I live in rented accommodation that diesnt allow pets. When I retire I'm going to get one. So much better than humans x | |||
"A few people lately on here dont seem to get what a dog can mean to people . A good friend of mine lost her furbaby last night and I would like to share with you what she wrote about it , and how one animal can change a life ... Bear passed away earlier today, in our bedroom, snoozing peacefully as I held him. I can't tell you what he meant and means to me - he has been pure love from the first time I saw him at 5 weeks old. I have been AmyandBear since we met. He had SUCH personality, with a puppy rambunctious side that mellowed to a happy confidence. He had this indescribable Bear-ness, with faces and snorts that communicated exactly what he felt. He was sweet and gentle and funny. Most of all, he was devoted to me and took care of me in a way I could have never repaid, no matter how heartbreaking today's goodbye was. Everything was a fun adventure for him, as long as we were together. When I got him, I was an insecure, anxious, rather lonely 29-year-old without much direction; today I am a confident, happy, 43 year old woman who cares deeply for her people, work, and about the world. It is in very large part thanks to Bear, whose unconditional love and constant sweet presence didn't let me shut down through a decade that challenged everything I knew - and finally landed in a good life, with stability, good friends, fulfilling work, and building our own little family when we got Sadie. Today was simultaneously the best and most difficult thing I've done. I would not have done it differently for my sweet boy. Still, I am devastated, and appreciate your thoughts and/or prayers because everything seems very empty right now without my bright beloved little Bear. Those of you who knew him and us will understand. Bear was 14 and a half, and he was struggling - I wanted him to go before he started to suffer. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor two and a half weeks ago. I have been focused on giving him the best sendoff possible. He had visits with friends and family, new adventures (thank you stroller!), familiar adventures, and too many hugs and tears and thank yous to count. I love him, I miss him, I am trying to breathe, I am so grateful for everyone who has held me up through the past couple weeks and reached out to share their own stories. Thank you Bear ??" That is so beautiful. People go through life without that love and companionship on any level. I am now a teary snotty mess... but thank you for sharing. Please pass love on to Amy xx | |||

"My heart goes out to your friend. I lost my furbaby 3 weeks ago. I'm not coping at all. When I try to talk to people I get the " ahh bless" type replies. Some people don't get how hard it is. I'm searching for help to try to cope with his passing. I do hope your friend is ok. Just let them know that out there some of us are feeling the same pain. They aren't alone. xx " Oh no so sorry . It is so sad , so sorry for you . Just try and remember the unconditional love and companionship they gave you , hopefully that can give you some comfort xx | |||
