Discussion
I hate reading these threads, but I always do, us lot need to look after each other when that time comes, and as with so many others, I've been there too and know how much it hurts. Very very sorry, your posts have me choked up and I really do know just how you feel. Last time we lost one I had to text the old man to tell him, I couldn't talk about it out loud without losing it.
That was nearly 4 years ago, still miss the old girl, we do have another two in the house now which helps immensely - somehow we almost love them even more because of the previous loss.
Sincere condolences....

Nothing helpful to add that hasn't already been said, this thread really is making me appreciate my time left with my ageing friend. Struggling to type this as this thread has really got me In the heart. I hope you find some way to start dealing with your loss when the time is right. All the best mate.
Thank you.Finding tonight very hard. Can't face packing her things away yet. So many memories.
She was so affectionate and just knew if you were having a bad day or upset about something. She did this for the whole family.
Think seeing everyone struggling so much tonight is making it even harder.

Why... why... why would you do that to me?!! 
From one Jim to another Op, such a beautiful pup. You did the right thing by her when she needed it and from your words I’m sure she had such a fantastic life.
Remember what you gave her and she’s in no pain now. Maaan, they get under your skin.
Couldn't agree more mate. They sure do know how to make you happy and to make you love them.From one Jim to another Op, such a beautiful pup. You did the right thing by her when she needed it and from your words I’m sure she had such a fantastic life.

Tough to read this. Having gone through the same twenty years ago it brings it all back.
Rest in peace now Molly.
Thank you.Rest in peace now Molly.
It was 2002 when the family Lab was put to sleep. That was horrendous as well.
But along out of the blue came Molly. The fun and joy she has given is priceless.
You just wish you could have them forever but that is just not what life is about.

I was where you are in October. Ripped my guts out.
As per that cartoon, it’s the saddest yet kindest thing you can do at that time.
Don’t leave it forever until you get a new best friend. He/she won’t replace but will help heal your heart.
Your pooch would want this I’m sure.
I would love to get a relation of hers if the same breeder is still breeding. She was a wonderful dog.As per that cartoon, it’s the saddest yet kindest thing you can do at that time.

Just need to find her birth certificate.
I will never forget when we got her the breeder fed the adults and puppies steak.
No wonder she was a diva.

As I have said you feel a bit alone in talking about your lost pet as many people are just not that way inclined. This is why I wanted to post on here as to be honest I didn't want to upset the family.
My mates are not dog owners so I very much doubt it would bother them.
I have always loved animals. My dogs have been my World.
There was just something a bit special about Molly. She came into our lives without us even looking for a new dog and she just became part of us in a very short space of time.
Great to hear from everyone who has posted on this thread. Some amazing people out there and most seem to own or have owned dogs which must say something

She was a lovely looking dog and obviously a great companion.
Dog lovers always feel for each other, especially at times such as this.
Take time to grieve and always take time to remember. Most of all, take care.
Really appreciate your words.Dog lovers always feel for each other, especially at times such as this.

Keep thinking I hear her or there is suddenly a smell in the house that reminds me of her.
Very strange.
Having a few drinks tonight to try and help me get some sleep as it was about an hours worth last night waiting for today.
She was 2-3 times a night in the final stages so the two of us would just sit out the back together on the grass.
Hopefully the Neighbours were sleeping as they perhaps thought he had finally lost the plot

She will love you forever, and you her. She will also want you to move on from her. That's the unconditional love dogs give.
Do what Molly wants. She's right.
All the best.
Don't show my emotions much but these words got me.Do what Molly wants. She's right.
All the best.
It really is unconditional love. Wish more humans were that way.
We could all learn from a dog in that respect.
This image speaks volumes.

It is unconditional. But you have to earn it. You did in spades. She will never have a better life than she did with you. Be happy in what you achieved. Even as an internet outsider I can tell Molly was very happy
So should you be, however hard it feels right now.
Again thank you so much.So should you be, however hard it feels right now.
She had a wonderful life. As you say you earn it but the rewards are huge.
Thank you again.

So sorry to read what you went through. We've only had one dog in our lives so far (as we lived abroad for a long time) and then we've only had him 18 months. I can't imagine losing him and yet I know one day that will come. She had a wonderful life. As you say you earn it but the rewards are huge.
Thank you again.
All you can hope for I guess, in the end, is that they lived well and had as great a life as possible. Which she did.
You should be proud of yourself about the pup you raised into a wonderful dog.
Stopping typing now as someone is chopping onions round here....

The love they give is unconditional and it is like having a child as you know. She had a wonderful life and was very loved.
You will have many years of amazing times. At times you can take it for granted when they are there all the time but it sure does hit home when they are gone.
Think it's just sinking in now. Yesterday is a bit of a blur. Waking up and then realising she is not here anymore was extremely hard.
But things were only going to get worse for her so I have to hold onto that now.
