(((soup))) sorry to hear that. I know what it's like to lose a beloved dog/companion.

Thank you dear supportive friends. I have walked around here lost.

Dogs are so special. They are just amazing creatures and as weird as it may sound if you pay attention to them they have the most wonderful lessons to teach us. When I lost my Chihuahua and was heartbroken during Saturn in Scorpio I cried for three months. My husband got her for me. I was used to really small dogs and so raising this big ol' pony was different.

I just loved my little Virgo dog...she was all Virgo too If you can imagine a dog organizing her toys and bedding and being very picky about her food and who came near me. I took her everywhere with me. We went to work together every day....drove all over the place with the top down ....she loved life. And, she loved me.

I took this gorgeous girl in for what seemed like an eye infection that came out of nowhere. Turns out it was ears (no sign that I could see) eyes and bladder....then turns out this came on her FAST...and there was no cure, and no way to fix it. I could have thrown a few thousand dollars at it but it wouldn't have fixed the future which would have been a life of hell for her. Look at my girl.... she was the best girl in the whole wide world. My shot-gun sidekick....my BFF....my right hand gal. We had us a love story. I adored her and was proud of her.... and she protected me with her life.

I am just so heartbroken. I don't know what to do. They bring so much to our life. And, they don't get to live very long. In her brief 5 years she really gave me a lot of love. She sat by me through all that sickness. I was able to pull through.....but my bestie was not. As close as I pay attention I have no idea how I missed it....but it was genetic and out of our control.

It hit us like a bus. I am hurt, and angry....and lost. I sat there with her...and watched her take her last breath and felt like I was going to die with her. I am looking at her empty bed...knowing that 1000 dogs could never replace her. I suppose I will get to a place where I am thankful for the time I had...but right now I am gutted...and I just don't understand.

Look at my big beautiful girl. She was the light in my life....sure is dark around here right now.

What a sweet dog.

I have never had a dog that sweet, truth be told. I am so sorry, soup. Damn it! 🙁

You know how Virgo's are so smart? She was just smart....people smart. She could see right through the big harry nonsense. She picked up things quickly and we made such great best friends. I have two sisters that I helped raise that are Virgo's. She had their personality. Very bright. Missed nothing. That girl was smart....but sensitive. And everyone loved her. She was easy going, and easy to love. Everyone knew her and everyone loved her. We never left her. She was with me every day. If we went on vacation...she went with us. Never went to a kennel....never went to stay with anyone. If she couldn't go, I didn't go.

Now....she went on without me.

I would watch her....and giggle...I would wash her blankets twice a week...and put them in her bed the way I thought she liked them....for the next 20 minutes she would rearrange them exactly the way SHE needed them to be. I have never seen anything like it. I am telling you they take on the same personality and energies we do...... Virgo is loyal. Smart, loyal and easy going. That's what I get from them anyway....... 

 I don't know where we go when we leave this place but I pray to God when its time to please have that girl waiting for me.

I know we cant keep them forever. And, I know that time passes so fast. But I sure hope when my time comes that girl is somewhere waiting for me. Our pets are there when no one else is. They deserve to be treated well for all they give us .....

She took part of my heart with her....I cry...then get angry...then cry some more. Let me tell ya... my Virgo girl is going to be very hard to get over....I doubt I will ever be over her. No better friend....

It was so unexpected. You could knock me over with a feather.... when they came back with that diagnosis I just sat in the floor with her crying. She put her head in my lap. She knew. Its so sickening I could just SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..... WHY WHY WHY....damn it WHY...

Saturn and Pluto have taken every thing from me. I wish I'd lost the car or the house....please ....why take my dog?????????????????

It's the worst to lose a pet, I cried and cried and cried over my dog. I never got another one. I fed my neighbor's cat some this past year but it was really old and I haven't seen it for probably a month so it must have died I can't bring myself to ask.

Soup, I am so sorry for the loss of your dog. 

I don't often have a dog. I hate loosing them.  Aloof cats are the animal for me.
