My beloved Jacob

So glad to hear about your pup! I truly don't know what I'd have done without my boy Havoc. I brought Havs home last January and have lost 3 dogs this year. I think I would have seriously considered remaining dogless without him.

I miss my "big guy"!! My "buster brown nose" He was never more that 6 feet from me at all times I was home. Waiting at the door when I came home ready to please.. I can't stop looking for him in the house. I see him out of the corner of my eye and turn to see him... He's not there anymore..... I am so sad I don't know if will ever get over this...
Help me!!!

I lost my Duncan 2 weeks ago, and I know exactly the feelings you are talking about. As if an elephant were sitting on your chest, crying at the littlest thing, the world keeps going on without your precious boy, but it shouldn't!! You want him back so badly, just to touch him and love him. I know.
And yes, it has been the worst pain of loss I've ever felt. Like I lost my soul mate. I miss him so badly...
I'm two weeks out and I know you can't see past more than the next couple minutes because the grief is so thick. I still cry about once a day, and I'm able to look at pictures of him and laugh at his antics. I have another dog and a cat at home and they help tremendously. I'm loving them up as much as they'll let me because I don't want to miss one minute of them. I'm so happy for your new pup, it's hard to be sad looking at that cute face and puppy shenanigans.
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please know that there are people out there that completely understand what you're going through.

I am sorry for your loss of Jake. Jake was very lucky to have you and you him. I am so happy that you have a new puppy. Take care.

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss of your sweet Jacob. We lost our 11 year old dog many years ago but I still remember how awful the pain was and how long it took to get past it.

It's great to hear that you have a new companion to take care of and to help you ease your pain. Congratulations and the best of luck on your new addition. And, yes, we would LOVE to see some pictures!

It has been three months since Jacob passed and I don't know what I would have done without this forum. I got comfort, answers and the feeling that I wasn't alone and that others had gone through this and lived.
I still "talk" to Jacob at his grave everyday. My new pup Uli is such a sweet boy and very very smart... I know he will come to be as great companion as Jacob was..
I just wish Jacob could have taught him all of his good traits before he passed.
I will get another pup when Uli gets to older, so as to have the elder teach the young.
Uli pup found a picture of me with Jacob as a pup his age. took it right off the fridge!.. Too cute I had to take the picture.
