Crossing the bridge.

Our family dog crossed the bridge on Monday. He had such a hard start in life and was a rescue. He became such a personality and the kindest, funniest, cleverest dog I have ever known. He loved football and toys and lived for treats. We miss him so much.

I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s always so hard to lose your pooch, even when it’s the right thing to do. Flowers

It sounds like despite a tough start he landed on his feet with you and was a much loved member of the family.

What was his name?

So sorry for your loss. My beautiful boy (also a rescue) crossed the bridge about 2 weeks ago. Ex-h kept him after we split, even though my boy had chosen me as his person. I only had a few precious moments with him in the last 3 years and didn't get to say goodbye as ex-h left it to my ds2 to tell me he'd gone. I cried for about 24 hours solid.

It's so tough when they go.

He was very much loved. Monty fell on his feet when he found my folks. He had a horrible start, he didn’t understand how to play when he first arrived. Dad would throw a ball and monty would just look and wonder what he was doing! But he became a great goalkeeper and devoted player of fetch. They are such an integral part of the family.

I'm so sorry, the silence is deafening when you lose a dog, it feels like the heart of the home has gone, be kind to yourselves, rip Monty.

So sorry you've lost your lovely dog. How wonderful you were able to give him a happy life.

Awk hugs. We put our beautiful girl to sleep today and I can't stop crying. All any of us can do is take comfort knowing they'd the best life and their final moments were spent with us. It's a hard decision but one that's made with love. X

I'm so sorry OP and @Mondaymanic. We lost our beautiful golden boy this week. He was the happiest, friendliest, cutest, most lovable big goof with a huge smile and the softest velvet ears in the world. His tail was wagging right to his last breath. I feel like my heart has been ripped out.

Awkkk sorry to hear that. It's just the saddest thing. Xx
