Heartbreaking - I'm so sorry. He was a lucky pup to be scooped up by your family at 6.5 weeks. Y'all gave him the best life he could've ever imagined or dreamed of.
Ok douche, go ahead and call it mud. My husband DID have halitosis. We addressed it after I talked to you girls on here and guess what? Years later, no problem. Mofongo, you're a cunt. Eat shit. ~anonnamus
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
I'm so sorry. I lost my pup last year and know how badly it hurts. He knew how loved he was, and you provided him with an amazing life. The pain does get easier with time, even if it doesn't feel like it now. ::Hugs::
I am really so sorry for your family's tremendous loss. It sounds like you gave Bogie one hell of a life though, and I only hope all dog parents treat their babies just as well.

I’m so sorry about Bogie. I love your tribute though. He sounds like the best dog ever.
We recently lost our dog who we got about 6 months after we got married in 2007. We had been a family of three ever since, so I understand the type of loss it leaves. It’s been a hard transition, especially for me since I work at home and he was my only companion during the day.
The first few days were very rough. I was distraught, but like everything, time has helped. I still miss him everyday though, and I’m sure you will miss Bogie everyday for a long time too.
Pets share so much of our lives with us. Losing them leaves a big hole, just like any other loss. Thinking of you during these hard days.

You are describing my Mugsy, who we also have an excessive amount of names for, is almost 14, had mange (recently!) and his labs say terrible things about his health condition, but we are doing the fluids and the special food and all the things because he is absolutely our world....my heart will break one day, as yours has now...but man aren't we lucky to have had each other

Thank you for all the kind words. I took yesterday off and tried to work today but bowed out. I know the pain will ease in time but it’s so many little things that just cut so deep. Eg gravy on the grocery list (that was for him), clearing plates and motioning to give him a bite, going for a walk and grabbing the leash.
Saturday also marks 4 years since my dad passed. I hope their spirits are somewhere together, my dad loved Bogie.
That made me cry. What a wonderful tribute to your sweet boy. I am so sorry for your loss. I know in time you will come to smile instead of cry when you think of him, but I'm wishing you lots of peace in the meantime.
I'm so very sorry for you loss. For me, it's been the hardest loss to deal with. My dogs are my family and it's certainly ok to grieve for them. Take all the time you need and ignore anyone who tells you "it was just a dog" because he was not, he was an amazing companion. Again, I'm so sorry.

simpsongal, I am so, so sorry. Losing a pet truly is like losing a part of your family. I feel bad admitting this, but I felt way more grief the day we had to say goodbye to our first dog (she was with us for 13.5 years) than when my aunt passed away. (They actually passed away the same day.) I cried about my aunt's passing, but it was not the body-wracking sobs I cried over my beloved dog.
