Lucy was our great pal. She was almost 18 years old and was the only dog to have her picture in OGR magazine. She was a great fan of the magazine. It happened very quickly late last night. Our vet met us at the clinic and did everything he could. We will miss her dearly. Don

So sorry Don, nothing worse than losing your best friend.
Wow, she was a great looking dog. I always liked that mag picture. I bet she had a great life. I never had a dog live that long.
I'm very sorry to hear this.
Non-dog (or cat) people don't understand what a crushing blow this can be, even when it's a pooch as old as Lucy. It's like losing a member of the family because, that's exactly what it is.
You have the thoughts and prayers of everyone in my home, including my 4-legged son Charlie, in your time of loss.
Lucy was a great friend to you and will be missed. We have all faced this ordeal with our companions. We share your feelings and loss.
My condolences; I know exactly how you feel.
Don,
I'm very sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is very difficult.

Sorry for your loss. I echo what P51 said, they are family.

Terrible to lose a pet.
Dogs are family. So sorry to hear you lost Lucy. Someday, you and her will be together again.
I agree with all that's been said. This is so hard. "Grief is the price we pay for love."
My sympathy to you and yours.
I had one for 16 years and can feel your pain, never the same without them. TRAIN NERD AL

Our pets are family members,and as such we all cherish them as our kids. I am sorry for your loss. She will be missed and remembered by many.
I'm sorry for your loss. We've been on the planet long enough to have lost several pets, dogs and cats. Even though we realize when we rescue them that we probably will outlive them it's still tough to lose one.

Thank you Nairb for sending Rainbow Bridge. Thank you to everyone else that understands. My heart is truly broken.

Scale Rail,
Bummer, hope your family is all right, I have one almost 18 now also, God only gives us his most cherished possession to teach unconditional love, for a short time.
Lucy will be waiting for you when you cross thru the Gates. Until then cherish the memories.

So sorry to hear of your loss of one of the family, never to be replaced but to be carried in you heart forever.
Lost one of my best friends on fathers day last year, still a big hole in our lives.
I'm sure we all will meet up again in a better place. James
Godspeed to Lucy. Eighteen is a good life for a big dog, but it's never long enough.
Sorry to hear about Lucy. My lone remaining cat is now 18 and I dread the day when he crosses the bridge. They are family, and it always hurts when we have to say goodbye.

My heart goes out to you in your loss.
Lucy will be waiting for you when your time to join her comes.

Don,I'm so sorry to hear of your lost. It is not"like losing a member of the family" it is losing a member of the family. You are in my prayers.
Brad
I am very sorry for your loss.
My wife and I are going to be adopting a 2 year old Pitbull mix diagnosed with Lymphoma and has what the vet estimates as only 1, maybe 2 years left. We just want to give him a good, loving life of whatever he has left. This day will come for us too, but obviously not after 18 years.
Our thoughts are with you
Don,
Having been in your place a few times in the past, I know the feeling and it is never easy. These crazy animals work their way into our hearts making it very hard to say goodbye. Cherish the memories and find comfort in knowing that Lucy had a good home for 18 years and did not suffer long at the end. You gave her a wonderful life.
Awww Don. Very sorry to hear of this. 18 years though, what a life she had!
Sorry to hear your news Don. Dogs can be like family, I've come to learn.

So sorry Don. It is tough to lose a family member.
Sorry,they are family.It's hard.Nick
Very sorry Don. It's hard to loose a companion that has been so close all those years. I do understand.
My sincerest condolences, Don.
Hi Don, so sorry that Lucy had to leave you. We have four now, with two that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and will be waiting for us.
The pain leaves a large hole in your heart that nothing can or will fill. Just know she loved you as much as you did her.
Condolensces, Bruce
I'm sorry for your loss Don. It's difficult to lose such a great companion.
Please accept my sympathies...
So sorry, Don. I know that heart-crushing feeling all to well. Wow, 18 years...I can only imagine the the bond that was formed. She must have been a great friend.
I lost my pooch in 2002 and can't set myself up to go through that again, I feel for you. 18 years is a good life, shows she was very contented. Unless someone goes through the loss of a pet dog, it would be hard to explain the hurt. The OGR picture is a wonderful remembrance. You have my condolences.

The loss of a beloved pet always hits home.
This evening my wife and I will be taking our Airedale Rainbow to the vet for an exam and stayover. Tomorrow morning she will have the equivilant of a doggie ACL surgery.
We experienced this with our previous Airedale.
Next week 2 of my company's therapy dogs will be having surgery. One of them may lose a leg over this infection.
We all worry about our pets,cats or dogs. They are such an integral part of our families. We all suffer and grieve when we lose one or if a friend experiences a loss .
We are saddened by your loss of your beloved pet.
Norm
So sorry for your loss.
