However short this may be it will take some time to write because I can barely see for tears. My beloved Susie, a Cavalier King Charles who had been the light of my life for seven years, passed away (of congestive heart failure and, possibly, a stroke) at 01:30 on Tuesday 26th July 2011, four days before what would have been her eighth birthday on the 30th (tomorrow, at time of writing). I don't think I've ever known such agony, or if I have, I've forgotten about it. My wife and I have three beautiful cats that we love dearly and they're not being forgotten by any means, but the house is so empty without Susie's presence which had been a constant one for the past seven years. Susie was the happiest little dog in the world and filled the house and our lives with her love of life. Susie made it clear from the first day we brought her home (in June 2004, aged eleven months) that she was very definitely daddy's little girl. To say that I'm devastated doesn't even begin to cover it.
RE: Devastated, shattered, heartbroken.
I am so sorry for the loss of your darling Susie. Only someone who loves a pet as much as ourselves, can truly understand how we feel.
I have lost my 3 precious dogs, and there is really no way to describe the awful emptiness. Our pets love us so unconditionally and that is a love like no other.
.
You never completely get over the loss, you can only learn to live with it. I hope with time you are able to do this.
Thinking of you and your family at this very sad time.. God bless.

RE: Devastated, shattered, heartbroken.
So sorry for your loss Steve. People don't understand unless they have been there, and their lack of compassion makes the grief even harder to deal with.
I had to put 2 much-loved dogs to sleep because the vet said they would never get better. I was already broken hearted, then when so-called friends were saying "Get over it, it's only a dog" that just made it 100 times worse.
In time you will remember all the happy times you shared with Susie and be able to smile. In the meantime I'm keeping you in my prayers xx
