I gave my boy an extra special love this morning after reading this thread.
I can't imagine life without him.

April. Have gone thru that so many times. It hurts so much I know. I always had to go out and get another dog to ease the pain. Where I live now I can't have one which sucks. I play with the neighbor's dog as much as I can. A golden ret. which I had 3 of. They all look pretty much the same so it really gets to me. I hate death. I find it very hard to get over. Damn that Eve for eating that apple. LOL

How much you must have loved your dog for you to still be hurting over his death. That tells me he was a very happy dog to be so well loved. You can be assured that you gave him a very happy life. Unfortunately our furry friends don't live as long as humans. Saying goodbye is so hard. Good for you for being sober this long time, though.

I am so sorry for your loss, April. But, very happy for your new AF life. Congratulations! I've watched our Sadie, lately. She's a nine year old retriever mix. She takes off in her familiar dash of enthusiasm, only to slow to a walk sooner than she did a few years ago. Her sweet face shows more and more white hair every day. She is pure love and trust. She is ever forgiving. I understand how you must feel to have lost your sweet dog. We lost our kitty (my kitty- she was a one person cat) 2 years ago in our house fire. Just tore my heart out. Keep going in your new and better way!

April, I know for a fact that LOVE never dies and when the soul of an animal has shared the bond of love with a human they became a separate soul on their own journey of evolution. Having said that, I understand your feeling of LOSS !!! We never really get over it but with time we learn how to live on without their physical bodies near by to hug and snuggle with. That soul will often return into our lives thru the body of a new pet...when you are ready for that say a prayer and let it be known...then expect MIRACLES !!!

April you are sure in good company when you express your passion for your dog. I've lost four-legged furry friends and know how you feel... Congratulations on not turn to AL through this tough time... Your dog was so very lucky to have such a loving Mommy in her life.. Take care xxx

You guys I SWEAR that has happened to me. I had a cat that was a stray that I acquired. Supposedly I saved her life. Well that cat lived FOREVER...like 18 or 19 years. Her name was Spuds. She finally died of well old age. (duh) Anyway it was a sad, sad day.

Well some years - not many went by and one day I heard somethin in the garage. I looked out and dang if it wasn't a kitten...maybe 5 months or so walkin on my truck. The noise I believe was her jumping off the rafters on to the back of the truck. it was so funny cuz she looked at me and jumped up on the cab part to walk towards me and then FELL inside through the sun roof. I laughed my brains out...but ran to help her. Of course I still have her now. She has much more of a story but my point is I SWEAR she is my first cat Spuds. EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT HER IS IDENTICAL. When she looks me in the eye it is so so much like she is tellin me that she is Spuds. I really believe she came back to us. : )

Thanks for all the kind words.

I do still have my deceased dog's Mama. She is the love of my life. Before I had these two pets (family members) I never thought it possible to love something so much.

I will admit it I did drink 2 drinks Saturday night. I only admitted it to one of my best buddies here, but with all the kind words, I can't live a lie. I drank not so much over the loss of my buddy, but because my husband wasn't here and he wouldn't know. Stupid I know. I had two drinks of Jack Daniels and Diet Coke. It was yucky, since Rum is my poison and I didn't have any here. I didn't get the buzz I wanted. I was so disgusted with myself and know now that it's not worth it to drink.

So I guess I will change my signature because I don't want to live a lie. I'm still proud of my AF days and know that they will continue. I just had to let ya'll know. I know ya'll will understand and will not make me feel bad about myself as much as I do.:l

Dear April, You have been doing absolutely GREAT and you still are. That isn't a relapse...not even hardly a slip ????........I wouldn't worry about a little HICCUP like that. I would offer you a hand back up on to the wagon but there seems to be no need for that. Stop beating yourself up for being human....and DON'T EVER DO IT AGAIN....LOL (I'm ALWAYS only a PM away if you ever need me).
