oooh what a lucky dog he was...

Goodbye Pilau, Dana's faithful friend and companion.

Im so sorry you have to miss him, Dana.

Bullitt · 12-30-2011, 01:45 AM

Sorry to hear Dana. I'm sure he's off running around with my pal Buster and pup Alta, both of whom I lost this year. 18 and 16 years respectively; old age catches up to the best of pets eventually. Horribly empty is the best way to describe my parents' house now as well. Went from 3 last year, two cats and the dog, to none by the end of this year. Deafening silence. You gave him a great life, and I'm sure he was appreciative of having companionship until the very end.

You know I don't believe in the afterlife, Dani.

But what you did for him in the life he had was as much as anyone can do for a dog.
He was loved, understood, knew his place in the pack.
He obviously adored you and thrived.

And he died in the way that any person or domesticated animal would chose.
Quietly and surrounded by love.

It must be bloody hard for you to lose him, and my thoughts are with you.
And J, because he had to feel it very much too.

Much love.

Sorry for your loss Dana. xxx

DucksNuts · 12-30-2011, 04:45 AM

Im so very sorry for your loss, Dani.

I cant eat a cold sausage without thinking of your best friend.

My thoughts are with you.

DanaC · 12-30-2011, 05:25 AM

Thankyou all. I'm struggling a little to get my head around it today. Doesn't quite feel real, and then it does for a bit and that's even worse. My life was basically built around Pilau. My days structured by the little things he needed, like walks and food and tablets and so on.

Only stopped buying him toys a few months ago.

The world just feels wrong today.

I saw the thread title and I knew.

Goodbye, Pilau.

I'm sorry, Dana.

I'm so sorry to hear the news. I had a little cry over it too. I offer a big hug and sympathy. Pilau was almost like a member of our extended family too. I went and looked back at pictures of him over the years. He was such a sweetie!

To me, the hardest thing is gathering up all the toys and bowl and such. It's like erasing a member of the family, which pets truly are. I always tell people who lose a pet to mourn until they are finished, then go get another pet. No new pet can ever replace the niche in your heart that Pilau did, but somehow, they find another niche to fill and bring their own light into your life.

(((HUG)))

I'm so sorry, Dana. It's devastating to lose your friend. You were good family together.

jimhelm · 12-30-2011, 10:38 AM

goodbye Pilau.

limey · 12-30-2011, 12:10 PM

Dana I've just seen this. I'm so sorry. There's nothing I can add, apart from my tears, to what everyone else has said here. You gave him the best life he could ever have had, and made the right decision for him when the time came.
My thoughts are with you.

DanaC · 12-30-2011, 12:16 PM

This is so horrible. I feel like someone's ripped out a part of me. He's been so entwined in every aspect of my life.

This is the first time I've ever lived alone. Pilau came with me when me and J split. So, other than the odd night when he stayed at mum's, I have never experienced being the only occupant. I hate it. It feels all wrong. The world feels all wrong.

limey · 12-30-2011, 12:20 PM

Can you go and stay at your mum's for a day or two?

jimhelm · 12-30-2011, 12:50 PM

aw, Dani.... it gets a little better each day, honey....

So sorry you're hurting... hugs...
