RIP JASMINE

[The IOM Ninja]

I know how you feel, my dog Sonny died about 3 years ago this month, it was really hard on me because he had been with me since my first birthday.

It's kinda a funny story, my mom and dad took me into a pet store on the southside of edmonton on my first birthday and the moment we went in Sonny came running up to me in my stroller and started licking my face and that was the moment I made the best friend I've ever had. He was always there for me and would always make sure I was protected as a child. Being that he was a Shetland Sheep Dog he would always herd me away from the stairs and he was just such a great friend. I, and I'm willing to admit this, cried so hard when he died. I don't care what anyone says; a man, no matter how macho he maybe, is allowed to cry when his best friend dies. I was the only one at home and he just collapsed on the floor so that made things difficult for me.

Sorry for thread jacking with my own little life story but life is like a party, it's not meant to last but you should enjoy the time you have.

P.S. Yes I ripped off the Prince song 1999 there also ignore my grandmother hahahaha

and I really hope you feel better she sure was a beautiful dog

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I know the pain. My family is huge pet lovers, we have 4 dogs ourselves.
It's really like losing a part of yourself.

Sorry to hear you lost your buddy :( I'm sure she is watching over you driving that car!!

Hey friend,

Sorry to hear about the passing of your companion. There is nothing in the world quite like having a dog in your family. I love my dog more than I LIKE most people.

A few years back I had to put a beloved pet to sleep due to an injury he sustained. I rarely cry, however when I said goodbye to that dog I wept like a child. I'd had him for over 10 years, he saw me through college, some pretty tough family times after, and two moves across country, and he was my son's first pet.

He died when my son was 4, he's 7 now, and he still remembers our "Chewy."

I still get a lump in my throat whenever I think about it. I probably always will.

You may feel like you never want another dog. God knows I did.

It took me about 3 years to consider another pet. Keep this in mind: Your dog loved you, still loves you. While she would never be replaced in your heart, I think she would be heartbroken to think of you going on for the rest of your life without the Joy of having a dog in your life. Keep that thought in mind down the road.

Again, my deepest condolences.

RIP Jasmine

I'm so sorry for your loss buddy. She was a beautiful dog. I've done it before too
and I hate to think of the day I have to say goodbye to my Golden. It's so hard to
let such a loyal friend go. You did make the right decision though. Hang in there. I know Jasmine will be with you always.

She looks alot like our little Holly we lost Dec 23 2 yrs ago. She had the same color and sweet little face. I remember her white little socks and cute little bark.

We then lost her brother this January also. He loved the laser pen and sitting in the sun with his front legs crossed. We miss them both so much.

Im sorry for your loss and yours also Marine. Our pets are like family and will always be.

Heres a link to something that may give you some peace.

You will, it's no different than when a young human develops cancer and passes many years too soon. She was a BEAUTIFUL dog, I can tell she was a purebred. I grew up with a guy who's parents bred and raised Shar-Pei dogs, they'd all be lined along the chain link fence as our bus pulled away LOL. You gave her a superb, loving life while she was here so try and take some comfort in that. Hang in there and try and keep your chin up...
