Grant,

The hurt and sorrow never decreases, no matter how times a person loses a loving pet. In certain ways its worse than losing a close human relative. All of us who love animals and have lost them know what you are going through. Many may find it "corny", and you may have already seen it, but I have always shared this poem with people who have lost a pet. Its at the following link. http://rainbowsbridge.com/Poem.htm

Hang in there,

Grantmo,

Gone too soon/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif My condolences.

I'm truly sorry. Unfortunately, I have good idea about what you're going through. Hang in there.

I think sometimes only a pet lover can truly appreciate the depth of loss felt by the death of a pet. Imagining the loss of our Rotty gives me some inkling of what you're going through. You have my condolences......

Grant,

I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Those of us who love our animals realize that they are family. Hold fast to the wonderful memories you must have.

Thanks for everyone's kind words. I attached a picture of Gunner and our remaining Shepard Atlas. They were brothers from different litters.

Oh man Grant, that tears me up to see those two wonderful guys there knowing ones gone. I've been thinking hard about my best friend lately who is buried here at our place by a massive granite rock. I am so sorry. Rat
