Buried my 12 year old English Springer.  :(  :'(

Sorry to hear about your loss. The bad part of having pets. Some people don't realize just how hard coping with the loss of a beloved pet can be. Animals give so much pleasure in their short lives. We lost several of our cats and kittens last year. One cat in particular always used to come and meet us on our way home after hearing my wifes footsteps or my car coming up the road. Coming home and not being greeted by her was the hardest part to get used to, and we still miss her even now. She was only three years old and died horribly after being run over. At least she was with people she knew when she died, and didn't die slowly or alone under a hedge somewhere unknown to us.

    Once again I'm sorry for your loss and share your grief. :(

Thanks all for the kind words. Yes, part of the family after having her for that length of time, especially from a pup but time goes so quickly and it is an inevitable thing but I still have my hand full with her 5 year old son (doctored) and her 3 year old granddaughter, trouble is the granddaughter will miss her Granny as they slept together all cuddled up and today she's been sat looking at the outside door thinking that Granny will be in at any moment, she'll soon forget her.
