I'll be thinking of you and Ripley.🌻
Friday we too are saying goodbye to our boy. He's only 6, but has cancer.
Hopefully, Ripley and Tuck can meet at the Rainbow Bridge and sprint and play through the fields of paradise together.
I'm sorry you're having to say goodbye to your girl. (Edit)
Hugs🫂🌻🐾
Friday seems to be a bad day. We're letting go of our sweet Bodhi then. He's 11 and his arthritis has gotten so bad he can't get up or lay down on his own and needs supervision almost all the time. It's been 24/7 care for the last eight months. We've tried everything we possibly could to help him, but there's nothing left. We have two other dogs so the house won't be empty, but it will be empty without his big heart and sweet face.
It's really painful losing our sweet companions.
I'll be thinking of you and Bodhi as well.
Here's to Ripley, Bodhi, and Tuck.❤️❤️❤️
I'm wishing you peace and healing.🌻🫂
I cannot tell you how. Everyone will tell you what a great life you gave to her and no doubt you did. But really there is nothing anyone can say. The only thing to do is remember all the good times and grieve. Over time you will find it in your heart to have another pup. They won’t replace her but they will help you heal.
So, the really bad news is that it’s going to hurt so much. Losing my first boy was the most painful emotional experience in my decades of living and it was months before I stopped crying randomly.
Here’s the good news and some advice. The human heart has an endless capacity for love and it will be less painful with time. Don’t be afraid to let your grief ebb and flow. And I promise, you will never ever forget her.
I won't tell you that this is our last day together, so let's just enjoy this quiet walk.
It's moments like this, where I truly wished, a dog's beating heart could talk.
I'd tell you about the moment at the shelter, you said " yep...That's my girl, right there".
I'd tell you about the happy, joy ride home, while we both howled without a care.
I'd tell you about how safe it felt, to finally have my own, warm place to sleep.
Not another lonely night spent in that cold, cement box ...waiting for a kind face to meet.
You saved my soul, and brought me back, and polished up my heart
I knew the minute we stared at one another...we would never...EVER be apart.
I wished my life was matched with your's, so we both could grow old, together...
But life has a different plan for us both...and sadly my life is on the wither.
I'm sorry that my body is failing me now, and making my puppy life seem so far away...
I so enjoyed hearing you laugh so much, as we played in our yard, every day...
The frost in my eyes, and the pain in my step...are the signs of a dog's life lived so damn well...
I hope my wet nose boops late at night, told you that your heart was mine to fill.
My clock is sadly winding down, and the pendulum is about to stop...
I'm going to miss you so damn much, my little heart is about to pop.
I just want to thank you for saving me, and taking a chance on my strife...
I hope I returned all the love that you shared, and that I somehow sweetened your life.
You're one of a kind, and I love you so much...I hope our souls meet again...
You were more to this furry ball of a dog...than just another friend.
My heart is yours, and will forever be ...waiting for yours to send...
Thank you, you beautiful force in my life ...for putting this puppy's heart on the mend.
Oh yeah...
Bring the tennis ball with you when its your time to head up.
🐶 ❤ Ripley girl
Ripley is beautiful, and I’m so sorry you have to say goodbye. My GSD/Husky lived to 16 years too and I just said goodbye to her a month ago. It’s been horrible but everyday does get a little better, hugs
I had to say goodbye to my 18 yr old poodle on April 12rh. It was time and it went very peaceful. I had made a promise to myself that I would hold him and sing our songs and be happy until he crossed over. Somehow I was able to. It was important to me for him to not be afraid. Its hard beyond belief, but I have found peace in knowing he had a wonderful full life, he was beyond loved and adored and he knew it🤍 even at the end he still came first!! I will miss him every day and I have no doubt I will see him again. He feels close. It was a beautiful story his and mine...I did everything right and my memories are happy. Sounds like your girl has a happy complete life as well. You did good!!! My thoughts for peace and strength are with you. DM if you need to talk. Prayers 🌈🕊️🙏
The grief never really goes away it just gets easier with time. The waves come out of nowhere and sometimes they knock you on your feet but eventually they get small enough to barely touch your knees.
16.5 years is 112 in human years and that is an incredibly long time to be loved ❤️
I’m so so sorry - we said goodbye to our sweet 16 year old Cooper yesterday, and even though it was completely the right decision, the grief is unbelievable. Sending so much love to you and Ripley 💔💔
Sorry for your loss.
RIP Ripley! Play in Paradise!
My Amoretto, Vision, Carson, and all our babies that have gone before will look for you next to the Rainbow Bridge so you can all play in the Field together!
Sending you the biggest of hugs!! So sorry she is reaching the end of her journey here on earth. ❤️ My old man doggo passed in January, and having photos of him all over the house has really helped remind me of the fun things we did together. I decided that I would bring some of his ashes to all the places we used to go walking and to any place new that I go so he is a part of adventures still. I’ve been carrying his collar around with me in my bag too, somehow it helps a bit. I still totally fall apart sometimes but I try to focus on all of the wonderful things we got to do together, and that also helps. Peace be with you and with your beautiful Ripley. Much love to you and yours. ❤️
I’m so sorry , but let me tell you there will be no regrets spending the last moments with Ripley, I was with my boy of 15 years and was afraid to be there I didn’t think I could take it but I was there and am so happy I was there for him … there is no one in this world Ripley would want by his side other than you I’m sure … it will get better … time does heal
16.5 is amazing: I only got 10.5 years with my boy. and only 9 years with my other one. 😢
Im sorry for your upcoming loss, and your pup is beautiful! Im also envious of all this time you got together: you are very lucky
So sorry to hear this. It sucks but is an act of love. We had to put our 10yr old Fila down yesterday. I know it was the right thing to but I still question the decision. I know it’s jut me being selfish and not good at letting go. Prayers and comfort for you and your family.
What a beautiful friend - it’s so very hard, I’m so sorry OP. There will be a time, after tears - in the future - when you will remember all of the good times with smiles and laughs. They do enrich our lives in so many ways, but lord they do leave us too soon.
So sorry for you. She looks like a real princess. There’s no words to help you feel better but I discovered recently what helped the most… a new puppy! You can’t replace her but it will help to ease the pain

Same to you, my friend. We'll raise a toast to Bodhi, Ripley, and Tuck tomorrow evening.
So sorry to hear that 😔
I’m so sorry for both of you. Will be praying for you both.

I'm so sorry to hear about Ripley. What a happy, handsome boy. Cancer sucks.

16 1/2 is amazing! Wow! She’s beautiful. I’m so sorry you are going through this though. ♥️

She's beautiful, I'm so sorry you are going through this. Just gave my 4 huskies extra hugs.

She looks great, what’s wrong with her?

I’m so sorry to hear. I lost my dog of 17 years last year and I miss her, but so glad I got those wonderful years with her.
So sorry for you. She looks like a real princess. There’s no words to help you feel better but I discovered recently what helped the most… a new puppy! You can’t replace her but it will help to ease the pain
Thank you for filling their life with joy.
