May memories of Jack console you Paula. by: R. Raymond
As with the others I too still cry for my Harpo.
There will always be a very special bond with Harpo. I once heard that the pain never goes away we just learned to live with it. Until of course when we are reunited with our fur babies. We will all be happy again! All our beloved animals will be healthy and happy that thought consoles me I hope it consoles you Paula and everyone who has ever lost a fur baby.

Your Jack my Sampson by: Jackie
Hi Paula,
So, here's the bad news. My Sampson has been gone 2.5 years and I still cry... but far less often. Still, every now and then, something touches me and the tears flow...again. Sampson was a Great Dane and as much a member of my family as is possible. I acquired a wonderful little dog about a year before his death because I knew time was running out. This helped, maybe. But my grief was intense. Simply stated, Sampson was my friend, companion and I will love him as long as I live. Sigh...
Eventually, I knew I needed another bigger dog. The difference had to do with camaraderie. My wonderful little dog, depends on me. Sampson was a comrade and contributed in awesome ways. He did "wow" things like helping pick tomatoes, helping me strip wallpaper off the walls, pulling weeds along side me. Seriously, amazing! Anyway, I had a standard poodle before Sampson and knew I had gotten too old to train another 180 pound dog so I got another standard. He's not Sampson but there is a bond more similar to what we all experienced with Sampson. Sorry, didn't mean to ramble but wanted to share that while your Jack will never be replaced, that there are still good things in store. It is undeniably difficult to reconnect with a new doggy buddy. I still miss the essence of Sampson but am less frequently in a pool of sorrow. And the new dogs...are bundles of love and make me laugh with their antics. They are both so affectionate and of course the poodle knows when I need him to be silly and cheer me up.
Sorry for your loss and I hope you soon find happiness in sharing your life in new ways. ;0) Jackie

Sorry to hear about Jack by: Tracy
Hi my name is Tracy we bought our daughter a black minature poodle and he died recently, he got hit by a car. Its never easy to lose someone exspecially a dog that is so loved and taken very good care of. It's good that u made the choice to put him down, u have to think he is not in any pain now if he would sstill b alive, he would b in a lot of pain and u wouldnt want that for Jack. One day we couldnt find our remote for our TV and we looked everywhere we looked for 3 hours and then the next day it was sitting on the couch, we believe it was our daughters dog Pal that took it and hid it cuz that day was the day we always watched a movie and family night, we always included Pal. So they will always b with us from the minute they walk into our lives to the minute we die. My sincere sympathy goes out to you and ur family. R.I.P. Jack!!!
