my grief,will not let me express in my own words, the loss of my best buddy of 19 years
a couple of quotes,to try and express,the,love and friendship of 19 years


Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives.

John Galsworthy

If you have a dog, you will most likely outlive it; to get a dog is to open yourself to profound joy and, prospectively, to equally profound sadness.

Marjorie Garber

One of the most enduring friendships in history — dogs and their people, people and their dogs.

Truly sorry for your lose. Been there too many times myself.

Mike




Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I am sorry for your loss.

[Marchas45]

Sorry for your loss but to help ease the grief which is hard. Take your friends collar and put it in your car and everytime you think of her take a sniff, it helps a lot. I lost my best friend over 3 years ago and his collar is still in my car even though I have another friend which I didn't want but he's grown on me and is with me all the time. It's tough hang in there.
