It's a sad day for me

I got home from work yesterday to find that my puppy, a 10.5 year old Siberian Husky, had passed away while my wife and I were at work. She did have a few medical problems , bad allergys and a hip surgery about about 2 years ago, and a few other things, but nothing that was ever life threatening.

She was loads of fun and always happy even though she couldn't bounce around like she used to before her surgery.

She was even the inspiration for my screen name.

Her "Sister" will be very lonely now without a pal to play with

Here a a few pics of my "puppy".

I'm very sorry to hear about your dog, they are very special companions, the unconditional love, the greeting you get each time you've been away, well I could go on and on but you know. Every dog owner knows.

We lost our 14 year old lab Coco a few month's ago... during this year's first day of Spring sunrise...

Our hearts go out to you and your family - it's truly a horrible thing to experience.

Take care.

I don't know if you've lost a pet, family member or close friend before. Time is supposed to change the pain and then you are left with all those wonderful memories.

Our sympathies,
The RoadFamily

That's really sad. I'm sorry to see such a beautiful companion go away. You'll have to give extra time to her sister, she will be really sad and lonely. Be glad that she had a loving family I'm sure that loved and cared for her.

My sympathies, she was a fantastic looking Husky. She'll be on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you. I hope you can enjoy many happy memories after the pain is gone.

I'm very sorry to hear about your dog. We had to put our 20-year old cat to sleep today. A bad day.

I would like to thank everyone for their condolences. This is the first dog that I ever had and lost and it has been a hard few days so far. Her "sister" seems to be pretty lost right about now, she is wandering around the house aimlessly.

It's tough when dogs have bonded to each other. Our dog Cleo ran across a street to chase something and got hit by a semi. Brutus wouldn't eat for days. Finally he would take food if you hand fed him. I'm not sure what was harder, loosing 1 dog or watching the other overcome with grief.

my sympathies to you and your family
