| Jake went to Rainbow Bridge yesterday Yesterday, after having the most wonderful little boy ever for 16 1/2 years, I had to let my Jake go to Rainbow Bridge. He had chronic renal failure for a year and subcutaneous fluids every other day. I did everything I could for him to be healthy and happy all his life, and I believe he was. He has been (and still is) the light and joy of my life. I don't know how I am going to go on without my "little man." I do have a 3 1/2 year old (4 in May) girl YT named Kiri, who came to me 3 years as a rescue, so she and I are making do in this awful new situation. He was just the best dog ever--well-behaved and loved me with all his heart. That seemed like it was his main purpose and care in life. Everyone always said how his main priority was being next to Mom. I miss him so much.

| Thanks everybody. I am sitting here at work trying not to cry. I decided to come into work because sitting home remembering the sight of him padding around and doing things was too heartbreaking. For the last year he had dementia, and it was getting worse. So, really, I know it was time, but it still makes me feel so devastated. Have to stop writing again for now ...

| I am so very sorry for the deep loss you are feeling. You were truly blessed to have had your little man Jake for so long, and you will always have wonderful memories to hold on to once the tears stop flowing. Hugs to you and little Kiri.

| Please don't hesitate to cry when you get home. The kind of sorrow from losing a beloved pup can't just be bottled in. It has to hurt this much when you love them so.

| Thanks. I feel just like my whole world has ended. Last night I kept looking for him and listening for the sound of his toenails. I read today about the end stages of CRF and I know things would have been much worse if I'd waited any amount of time, but I still miss him so much.

| It took me two weeks before I finally stopped going around the house looking for Minnie, and it was hard to adjust to not hearing her trotting around the house. The subconscious has so much more power than the conscious part of the brain, so even though the conscious knew Minnie was gone the subconscious kept telling me things like "go to Minnie's favorite nap spot to plant a raspberry on her stomach". And it made me really sad every time I did and realized she was gone. I think it's awesome you gave Jake 16 1/2 great years. Hugs in this difficult time.

| I'm so sorry you have lost your faithful buddy, Jake and know how hard life is for you right now. You are lost in pain and hurt and don't think life will ever be happy again. Grief is something only time heals and love makes possible. Your love for Jake will see you through and his sweet memories will someday override the pain and loss you feel now. But until that time, grieving is normal and will take time so go easy on yourself and talk about Jake all you need to and read out to others when necessary - it will help. R.I.P., little Jake.
