So sorry for your loss. Its never easy. You are so lucky to have had that 14.5 years.... Cherish those great memories. Try to keep your head up and play some pinball...its a great distraction.

Dogs are the best and sometimes I feel like we don't deserve them. 13 wonderful years is a heck of a ride. My pup is just over 6 years old and it makes me sad everytime I see more grey on his face because I know that day will come and it will tear me up. RIP Jimi

I'm so sorry for your loss for your baby

I'm really sorry about your friend passing Thanks for sharing the pics, he sounds like a really good boy.

Sorry for your loss.

What a beautiful friend you have had.
You can see the empathy in the eyes.

I wish I had words of great comfort from experience, but I'm still hurting after 6 months losing mine.

Hold all the memories dear. Dogs are family, and you were blessed.

Ah man, I know the feeling. Hope you are well. It will be tuff for a couple weeks and you’ll still hear him around the house. There will be something missing though around the house, you’re gonna feel that. It’s funny how you don’t discover this until they’re no longer around. It’s like this presence is just missing. Sometimes a little pinball will help. But don’t get yourself down, it’s part of life. They’re not built to last, and neither are we. So just remember how lucky you were Jimi found you. Be well

I am sorry for your loss. Remember all the great years you gave him and the wonderful times you had together.

I am sorry to hear that! I can appreciate the empty house feeling. Looks like a really chill bud to spend time with.

I know this pain all too well, we have lost many loved pets that actually become family over the years. It was once told to me that they don't live as long as us for the large hearts full of love that they give us through the years. Take comfort in knowing you had given him the best home possible with the most love in his lifetime like he has given all of you.

When the time is right, open the door to a another new friend and give him the same, they'll never replace Jimi as they are all special in their own way but the unconditional love and companionship will be there the same and I'm sure Jimi will be happy knowing that you have done so to another furry buddy.

Very sad day. So sorry.
Looks like he had a great life!

A few days ago, I had a difficult day missing my little furry girl. And it’s been 2 years. It will get better.
I’m sorry for your terrible loss.

Sorry for your loss. We had a Westie for 14.5 years. Miss him every day

Just remember dog spelled backwards is God and what a gift God he gave us.

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together."

Sorry for your loss.

Terrible loss and my heart goes out to you. My dog is 13 years old and my best buddy and companion I know it's going to be very difficult when his time comes but you must go through the mourning process however long it takes and you will slowly heal.

I’m really sorry for your loss.

There are no words that can summarize the bonds of love and friendship with a dog. The only feeling that compares/outshines the pain of not having them, is the total joy and love they give you and leave you with.

Me and my fur buddies will raise a glass to Jimmy tonight. Sending love and prayers your way.

losing a pet is the absolute worst - my condolences

Dogs are the just the best

Sorry Jay!!

Really sorry for your loss. We're facing something similar in the near future with our oldest. Trying to take every day we have with her as a blessing...

Jaz

So sorry, hang in there, do a cool memorial or grave site for him, always helps me when I lose a friend.
And after a bit..... puppies! Get two, that'll keep you busy.
Best.

Sorry, it sucks so much to lose a dog.

So sorry to hear - Thoughts and prayers. Never easy that's for sure. Wish dogs lived forever.

I am so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news of the loss of your dear friend and family member. I know how this can tear a hole in your heart, only time can help ease that pain. Until then let the knowing that he loved you unconditionally and you loved him the same comfort you. What greater gift could you have given each other and that.

I’ve lost friends and family, and I’ve lost dogs. Losing a dog is devastating in a way that’s different than losing a human being.

Dogs don’t understand why they’re in pain, and they don’t understand that sometimes you can’t help them get better. The only thing you can do is give them the best possible life and be there for them in their final moments.

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s a pain that I think only someone with a cherished pet can understand. Best wishes from Ozzy.

I am so sorry. After the 14 good years, he will forever live in your memories.

Your Jimi knew for many years, the love, affection and good home you gave to him.
He returned that love and affection a hundred-fold, I have no doubt.

What he gave you - 14+ years - is a time filled I am sure with many happy memories, great recollections and joyful moments, and photos that you will keep with you forever.

It's a terrible loss, and in a way tragic that we humans get as attached to our pets, as we do.

Take the time to grieve, gather your feelings, enjoy some of those great memories. You will then know when the time is right to visit that SPCA again - because there will be another Jimi waiting there for you - who needs your love and affection.

Think of it as "paying it forward" to another animal who desperately needs a good and caring home - and do it as a remembrance of your beloved Jimi.

You'll sleep better at night, believing that "He" would really think that's great.

Was just going to post this. It helped me, for sure

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s heart breaking for sure.

Your story brought tears to my eyes. So sorry for your loss. Hang in there and as others have said, remember all the joy, love and great times you had with him.

Im Playing one for you. Very very sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear this, but I'm glad to hear that you had 14+ good years together. Cherish the memories. My wife & I put together a scrap book with our very favorite pictures of our best-est buddies. Ended up being quite cathartic and allows us the chance to visit the good memories when we choose. The very best to you & your family in this difficult time.

I’m sorry bro I feel your pain......Joey

Sry to Levi for pic of my kids.... .....Joey

Sorry for your loss. We lost our girl a little shy of 13 years old a few weeks ago. Definitely sucks.

Saddened to read and so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. May you Rest In Peace Jimi. ❤️❤️5BC8DA5C-A994-4205-BA4B-BD9C2F7F47FA (resized).jpeg

Sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel, I lost my best buddy back in March all of a sudden with a burst blood clot. He was in such pain that I couldn't let him suffer any more. Just take it day by day and it will slowly get better, but never forget.

John

I am so sorry man. Your buddy looks awesome and super happy. Looks like he had a great time with you and yours... and a long life. Sadlyl, many of us know your pain. It took our family 7 years after the loss of our beloved Bernese Mountain dog to even consider another dog. He left a hole in our lives and I still think about him every day and wish we could go on a walk in the snow together. 2 years ago we let an Australian Shepherd sneak his way into our hearts. I think you and I have similar taste in dogs - that guy looks like a great person to take a nap with on Sunday. Wishing you well.

I'm so sorry for your loss of your friend and family member. I had a similar experience recently with my cat of over 14 years, so I feel for you. Pets creep into our hearts and make themselves right at home.

Lost my girl on Monday I feel your pain. Sorry for your loss. Take care.
