To let you all know that i have lost one of my Rotties Indy the youngest sadly i had to have him PTS after becoming very ill very sudden on the 9th now:yh_cry:yh_cry

I am gutted as it was very sudden my heart is heavy with grief xxx

I'm sorry, neffy, I'm sure that has hit you hard. I used to have a rottie mix and she was a wonderful family pet. She died about 3 years ago and we miss her still.

I'm so, so sorry Neffy. We had to have our girl put down on the

2nd, so I do know all too well the pain you are in right now.

There is very little to be done except the passage of time. I

hope that just knowing there are many other animal lovers out

there who feel very deeply for you helps you even just a little.

And remember, everything and everyone in heaven is young again,

and healthy... so our two are running around up there having a good

time.

So Sorry Neffy... I loved seeing your pics of your Rottie's on facebook.... xxxx

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

so sorry for your loss! I know the feeling of having to put your best friend to sleep. it was heartbreaking.

I'm sorry to hear about Indy.

It is always so painful a decision to take and such a great loss - think rather on the years of pleasure that Indy gave you :-6

Hugs for you, neffy.

I've lost four pets now. Every time it was like losing a member of the family. My condolences. The only thing I've found that helps the pain is to wait a certain amount of time, then get another puppy or kitten. The circle of life is comforting.

We are thinking now of a Rottie,

whose coat was flame in the sunshine and who,

so far as we are aware,

never entertained a mean or unworthy thought.

This Rottie is buried beneath a cherry tree,

under four feet of garden loam,

and at its proper season the cherry tree

strews petals on the green lawn of his grave.

Beneath a cherry tree, or an apple,

or any flowering shrub of the garden,

is an excellent place to bury a dog.

Beneath such trees, such shrubs,

he slept in the drowsy summer,

or gnawed at a flavored bone,

or lifted his head to challenge

some strange intruder.

These are good places, in life or in death.

Yet it is a small matter,

and it touches sentiment

more than anything else.

For if the dog be well remembered,

if sometimes he leaps through

your dreams actual as in life,

eyes kindling, questing,

asking, laughing, begging,

it matters not at all where that

dog sleeps and at last.

On a hill where the wind is unrebuked,

and the trees are roaring,

or beside a stream he knew in puppyhood,

or somewhere in the flatness of a pasture land,

where most exhilarating cattle graze.

It is all one to the dog, and all one to you,

and nothing is gained, and nothing is lost -

if memory lives.

But there is one best place to bury a dog.

One place that is best of all.

T here is one best place

to bury a dog.

" If you bury him in this spot, he will

come to you when you call -

come to you over the grim, dim frontier

of death, and down the well-remembered

path, and to your side again.

" And though you call a dozen living

dogs to heel, they shall not growl at

him, nor resent his coming,

for he belongs there.

" People may scoff at you, who see

no lightest blade of grass bent by his

footfall, who hear no whimper, people

who may never really have had a dog.

Smile at them, for you shall know

something that is hidden from them,

and which is well worth the knowing.

" The one best place to bury a good

dog is in the heart of his master."
