This has been a very sad weekend for us. We lost our sweet little Toby on Saturday night. I've posted how he's had back issues but this time it was much more. We are so grateful he was part of our family for 15 and a half years! He brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. I can't stop crying, he was my shadow that I don't have following me around anymore. My husband and kids are handling his lost just as bad as me. When my husband and I came home from the animal hospital Saturday night my youngest, Victoria came running over to me crying and said "her heart was hurting", she loved him so much!
My sweet boy I know your in a better place free of pain and suffering, but we miss you!

Oh Martina, I am so sorry you've lost your cute lil pup. I will pray for your family.
Martina, I am so sorry to hear about Toby. I know you can take comfort in all of the wonderful memories you have of him over the years.
Hugs,

my heart hurts for you Martina. Big hugs. I have to make the same decision this week... hate this part of owning a pet. The only thing getting me through is my belief that all pets are instantly reincarnated and so, she will be back to being a joyful new puppy with no aches, pains, or illness to slow her down or kill her joy.
At least I keep telling myself that...
xox
Martina,
no words can ease your pain but please know I am so very sorry for your loss.
we lost our Sassy Girl in late nov. and I couldnt even talk about it except to a very few folks.
she is missed and always will be just as I am sure your beloved Toby will be.
Oh Martina I am so,so sorry for your loss!!!! I know your heart must be breaking into a million pieces?!?! I will say a little prayer for you and your family.

What a cutie; I'm so sorry you lost him, Martina! I would cry at the drop of a hat when our first family dog died for a good two weeks. She shadowed me, too, and it was hard not to turn around and see her there.
I am so sorry to hear this! losing a beloved pet is so terrible. Did he have disc disease/paralysis?
Oh I am sooo sorry. It hurts my heart when I hear this....so happy that your family has many happy memories to think on....
Oh Martina... I'm soooo sorry! You know I was just in this same situation in October, and it is such a deep loss and sadness. Someone said to me, "it feels like your heart has been ripped out of your chest," and that is exactly how I felt.
I'm praying for comfort for you and your family. Take comfort in knowing that Toby had a long, wonderful life with you. Hugs!!
I'm so sorry Martina, I know, they are like baby's to us. From his picture he looks like he was a very loving dog...please know that he knew what a wonderful family he had:)
Oh my goodness Martina, you lost a family member. I am so sorry. Words do not convey how you must feel this pain. big love and hugs, Olive

Sending a big hug to you and your family Martina. So sorry to hear this news.
So sorry for your loss, Martina. What a sweet family member and I know you'll treasure all of your good memories together.
Oh Martina, how heartbroken you must all be indeed. He was simply a cutie-pie. I know sometimes losing a pet is like losing a family member - they are a family member, just one with four legs. Sending a hug your way my friend. Diane

Dear Martina, I am so sorry for you and your family; these little creatures become such an important part of our lives, our families. In time, the tears will lessen and the memories will bring smiles. In time, maybe there will be another little pup to bring joy to your home.

Our Dearest Martina,
My heart goes out to you and your family. Losing a pet is so devastating especially when he was a "Shadow", but(if I can say "But"), he is no longer in pain.
My love of animals is great. I'm known as Snow White because of it. We have 1 dog, 3 cats and 2 birds.
I know your heart is full of great memories and remember how lucky you are to have had this little one in your lives.
Take care!!
Pam
