Thread: My Samoyed friend just died - I'm Devastated.

Thanks for sharing Tombie. Great looking dog; at least it sounds like a fairly quick departure. My border collie is about the same age and starting to slow down.

Dogs great friends, they dont judge you, just unconditional love.

Like mentioned, get another.

Sorry to hear that mate, we have always had dogs and the saddest moment I had was to gather our 14 year old poodle up off the road after he was killed by a car and bury him in the backyard, the whole family was crying as I buried him. that was almost twenty years ago. You never forget a good doggy friend do you!!

We have had a couple of lovely pooches since and this is one of our two current dogs, Bindi, she is a cattle dog cross and don't you just love those big eyes!! she has just turned seven years old.



I guess, really you only have them for a short time and then they are gone!!

I don't think I can put it any better. Very sad news.

Feeling your pain Mike . We had to have our dog put down just before Christmas. i was interstate with work at the time. He was a healer x rotti and nearly 13. We miss him but enjoy talking about the funny things he would do. He would put on a big tough boy show to any strangers that came by the house... and he was scary. I used to have fun responding to his show at night time before he could work out who it was. he would run away down the drive leaving a trail of wee behind him. lol

Sorry to hear that Mate My thoughts are with you. In all the years Ive had them they are all part of the family. Even though mine are working dogs the loss when they go is something that you can never forget . Each has their own personality and can never be replaced .

Very sorry to hear it, and of the others who've recently passed.

Sorry to hear mate and know exactly how you feal the good thing is you have the great memories

Im sorry They are such an integral part of some of our lives. 9 seems young but they are a big dog, and its been so hot

Somehow initially no dog seems good enough to replace the one you lost until you come to the realization that its not about 'replacement' but enrichment they are all different little personalities. And if you happen to rehome a dog from the RSPCA or other rescue you are doubling the benefit.

I hope you and your family always remember the loved one you lost, and are able to give love again to another that is waiting especially to give its love to you
