Have just lost my dog, three weeks now and im heart broken. I get up same time to take him for a walk, I hear him moving around at night and look for him all the time, when I dont see him in his usual place, my eyes fill with tears. Im determined to have another one, but feel that I would be betraying him. Damn Alaskan Malamutes, why did they have to be so bloody amazing.

It is amazing how dogs become part of you. I've been there. Sorry about your dog.Nuair a chacann caora, cacann siad uilig

What David said Kirsty. It's a deep deep hurt.
I didn't say it was your fucking fault, I said I was blaming you.
I'm only responsible for what I say...not what you understand.

It will be three weeks on May 22nd that Lizzie died. Her ashes are still on the mantel in a wooded chest and for some reason I cannot throw out her leather color that has her name and phone number engraved on a brass tab.

Sorry Kirsty it's going to take a while for the pain not to feel physical. 3 months to the day since I lost Sadie.
Haven't had an accident in years. See a lot in my rear view mirror though.
It's very unlucky to be superstitious.
Only my dog can judge me.

When my dog Harry died we left his lead and collar together with his car harness on their hook on the back door. It remained there until we got a new dog and then we put it away because it was Harry's belongings and we bought Bruno his own set of kit. We had also left Harry's dog blanket in front of the fire but as soon as Bruno walked into the room he made that his own and snuggled up on the edge of the blanket with his head on the casket that contained Harry's ashes. Cue floods of tears from the Mem Sahib and I!
It's funny how dog's have their own little habits, Harry used to do the 'four-paw thing' whereby he would transfer his weight onto each leg in turn so he gave a little twitch at each corner, that told you he wanted something! Bruno does the 'chin thing' where he comes and rests his chin on you as he is stood and then he looks up at you at which point your heart has melted. I have never met a dog so kind hearted and loving to everyone as I have Bruno, he loves everyone! I find it so hard to believe that he came to us having been incredibly badly abused as a puppy.
Shortly after we got Bruno we moved which really unnerved him. He cuddled up to a giant Tigger that sits on the floor and looked really quite distressed for a couple of days before he got accustomed to his new surrounds. The first couple of times we took him to kennels he really got distressed but after that he seemed to understand that we weren't going to leave him (Bru was rescued by a Pub Landlord who had seen how he was being abused but 4 months later he had to go to another pub with cats and a no dog rule so we got Bru) and he absolutely loves going to the kennels now and all the kennel maids love him and make an extra fuss of him because he's such a loving dog.
Bruno and I spend all day, everyday together and everywhere I go, he goes. When his time comes, as it must, he wont die from lack of love, that's for sure.Xylitol kills dogs, remember Eddie - http://www.facebook.com/The.Eddy.Project

From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship." Lord Thomas MacCauley 1857
