      I lost Beatrice last October. She was 14 human years old, not bad for a schnoodle. Not a day passes that I don’t say her name, as I’ve heard that you die twice. Once when you leave this world the next is when the last one alive says your name for the last time. I love you Bea!

    I lost two senior rescues last year….i had adopted both of them with heart conditions. One passed in March 2023, and the other September 11th, 2023. I figured since I am a senior 78 this year I would give senior dogs that need a home a place to live out their lives happily! After my two rescues passed I was so lonely I went to a senior rescue in Indiana and now have a beautiful 11 yr old Maltese Mix who had been found wandering the streets! Rivy is her name and she has a warm home with me and more love than she probably ever knew! This is my mission….as I am older I will make older dogs know they are still loved! Thanks for allowing me to share! ❤

    My german shepherd passed away this past April of 2023. He was only 9 years old. He had degenerative myleopathy, a disease of the spine. We went on hikes till he told me he couldn't any longer. He was still crossing creeks in his wheelchair... He had heart. He was brave, gallant and had a spirit of fire. He knew he had to be my protector so he had to stay strong. Towards the end, I whispered in his ear how much I loved him and grabbed hold of his nape as I always did...it didnt seem real that it would be the last time I would hold him in my arms. He comforted me until the very end... I ask God every day why he had to leave so early, but I know he's up in heaven now swimming in the creek and catching fish with my grandfather. This video brought back memories of him... you may not realize it, but this type of video made a difference in my life today. It's reminders like this we all need, to truly remember just how precious life is and the lessons and experiences that dogs bring to our lives. My shepherd Zuke was surely a dog I will never forget. Hold your pets close, as each day and morning you get to open your eyes next to them is a gift.

    Shadow, my Gsd, is my savior. Without her, I would have given up a long time ago, and I say this with no shame. I struggled against cancer twice, and each time, watching her worried eyes after each treatment, it gave me the strength to go on. She would sit beside me when I was sick in the bathrooms, was beside me when I lost my hair. I did not rescue her; she rescued me. I am forever grateful.

    At 72, I'm currently with my 21st GSD, having gotten my first at age 7, I've had them 3 and 4 at a time, and all until their passing. They are not normal dogs, but very, very special. All shepherds deserve the great life you've given Rocky, because they'd trade their life for yours without hesitation. Not everyone deserves, or should, own a GSD, because they are not a "get and forget" pet. They want, and deserve, your attention and involvement in their lives. Oh yeah, and Rocky grew up to be gorgeous!

His hips are giving out, getting up and walking are becoming harder to do. I know I have to make the decision. I want him to stay because I love him so much but because I love him I can’t let him suffer because there is still no quit in him, his mind , heart and the will he has are strong his body is just giving out.

We lived and still do on the family farm on a small back road. The man stopped that hit her and told my Papaw because he thought it might have been his dog, the rabbit shot out on the road and my beagle came off the bank right after it, he couldn’t help it, my brother‘s beagle, Everready was able to stop. The man had moved her off the road to the field. My Papaw buried her. Everready and Missy were brother and sister. We’ve never had a dog that mourned as hard as he did, we have them mourn but he almost didn’t think he’d make it. He stopped eating, stopped running rabbits, he just layed lifeless in the yard. It didn’t matter what we did, how much love we showed him, all the different food we tried to get him to eat, he just layed and paid us no attention. Finally, he raised up and ate a few bites. He made little improvements as the days went on and passed away with us with him at age 13 1/2 yrs old. 38 yrs since I lost her and about 27 since him. For some reason tonight all those memories from all those years ago have come flooding back.

    I am almost 74. I have had dogs in my life since I can remember.my first dog ,when I was 6, was hit and killed by a truck. I cried all the way home to tell my parents what had happened, my dad walked back with me to get Tandy, I cried like a baby. we took him home in a towel that my dad had brought. he asked me if Tandy had waged his tail, I said yes, my dad said he was saying "good by" and that I would see him again some day. we buried him in the back yard.that was 68 years ago. since that time I have had 11 beautiful dogs, most have been rescue puppies, a few have gotten cancers and and left our family long before they should have.as our kids grew, they learned to love ,be caring, responsibility, and that life can be tough at times. they have their own dogs now when they come to visit ,they bring their dogs with them and they run wild in the back yard with the 3 we have at our house. I remember seeing a few years back a poster in my vets office when I was taking one of our 2 year old "labs" for shots...it read" I HOPE I CAN BE THE PERSON MY DOG THINKS I AM" ( I try every day to live up to that) I am also a STRONG believer in the existence of the RAINBOW BRIDGE...time will tell

      I connected to your comment as I’m 74, too, with a 3-year old British black lab….pre-trained for 2 years. We drove from California to Arkansas to pick her up a year ago. She’s wonderful; so well behaved. I take her to the park each morning for her play time….retrieving for an hour. Sometimes to the beach for play time. She follows me around the house, likes to sleep in my lap while I’m in my recliner. She’ll most likely be my last dog. I’m hoping, if I die before her, she’s there so that she knows. I don’t want her to think I abandoned her otherwise.

    July 2023, my 20 year old English Springer Spaniel passed away due to old age. We shared a life together 24/7/365. I was thankful that he was no longer in pain, but very devastated by his passing. Late August 2023, I adopted a 6-year-old female mini Aussie Shepherd despite not wanting another dog right away. She was in desperate need of a new home. Great dog and she helped me more than I ever could've expected.

JJ was the second last to leave me, then my last baby boy said goodbye to me on 3 June 2023. My tears stopped already but I still talk to him every day.

And I will keep loving him until the end of eternity and beyond. - Love is more powerful than death. Thank you for this wonderful testimony of your love. (/from Germany)

      You must have a dog in your life, it's what makes each day worth living.. Somewhere there is a dog who needs and is waiting for you. Every dog deserves a warm and loving home. I have been blessed with more than twenty dogs since the day I was born. When Arwen died last summer, I too thought no more suffering the loss of a dear friend. Prancer came into my life six weeks ago. Now I have a reason to wake up each day, and we enjoy our time together. No longer do we go to sleep alone. Every day ends in a warm bed with my loyal dog sleeping beside me.

Just instantly knew I had to go get him, called the place, told them to hold that dog, drove two hours. My Zeke has been my constant companion for 8 years now. Snoring right beside me right now. I’ll always have a dog and you should too! I know it’s difficult but it will change. Best wishes, sorry for your loss. There is a doggie out there waiting for you. 🐶

    Lovely vid - tears in my eyes. My Weimaraner dog had to be put down at 10 years old with cancer all through his body. Man, I cried. It took me on 30 years to get another dog, but when I did, I prayed to God to deliver to me the perfect dog for me and HE came through with a beautiful 7 week old Hungarian Vizsla dog [he's 4 years old now]. Connor [my Vizsla] andI are never parted, I walk him 10 ~ 12km every day and he is so intelligent I have not had to train him like I have other dogs, he has just looked at me and said "I know what you want". He obeys voice and hand-signals and is the most affectionate dog I have ever met. In my time of life now, I just hope I last out longer than him, I would so much hate to pass on and leave him. It's all in God's hands.

    I'm crying this as I watch it because my Lucy, who I adopted before she was quite 2, is now almost 13 and getting so gray and slowing down so much. She has always slept with me and since she can no longer jump up on the bed, I had to order steps so she could climb up on it. She was apparently born with a heart murmur because my vet told me she had one when I adopted her. She's now on 2 meds for it twice a day. She has been my constant companion and best friend for a long time, and though I know the time will come, I truly can't imagine my life without her. I love her with all my heart ❤️ and am so glad we chose each other that day at the rescue center! God created dogs to love us unconditionally just as He loves us 🙏

I loved them all but my favorite was a Yellow Labrador we named Shiloh, he was truly my best friend. No matter where I was in the house he was always next to me. We went on walks in our neighborhood for 2 0r 3 miles a day, he loved that time with me. We had to say goodbye when he was 13 years old because of his hip and medical issues. I’ll never forget him and still tear up when I think of him. He’ll be the first one to come to me at that rainbow bridge and I can hardly wait.

    I am so sorry for your loss and your video of him had me crying . It was very obvious the relationship you had was special. We lost our dog July 2nd of 2023. We were very lucky to have had him for 14 years. I layed on the floor next to him until he passed. I fell asleep and somehow was jolted awake and saw him take his last breath. I thought I would be okay since he lived alot longer than most dogs. I was lying to myself. I felt like I couldn't breath all day and missed him so much. It's been 7 months and I still tear up at the most unexpected times. Pets are God's gift to humans . He helped me get thru the loss of my Mom and Brother and every other difficulty in our lives. They help us get thru the rough times and enjoy the happy times even more with their presence. We miss him greatly every day but we believe that he's with family now watching over us. There's something special about the love of your pet.

    After my son moved nearby and I was retired I began taking his dog for walks. Brittany took me all over the wonderful places I live but would have not gone had it not been for taking walks. She has now been gone 3 years. I never felt so close to any animal as much as her. I will forever think back on our relationship and be grateful I had this bond with her. I miss her terribly.
