    Default Eighteen years. She was a good girl.

    Though I do understand the compulsion to offer condolences, I'm not looking for sympathy tonight. We all know how these relationships end. With tears and a hole in the heart...





    I'm going to miss you old girl...

    None of the condolences that you do not want.

    You have memories of a fine companion that will never leave you.

    I am not a dog person, but all of my cats I had to bury are still with me
    in heart and mind.

    I hope that helps!
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    I believe there is a doggy heaven! I feel the hole in your heart, if it wasn't there, she wouldn't have been such a joy.

    I know your pain, HJ, been there. 18 years is one hell of a good run, though, especially with good, loving owners.

    I know how you felt, HJ, you've told me before. That's how animal lovers feel. 18 years - lots of time in there to spoil and have made her be the queen of the house. Our pets make us all better people.

    Since you don't want sympathy, I won't say I'm sorry, or that I know how you are feeling.

    There, I didn't say it.

    I'll just say, "Good Dog"
