JAileen, thank you for posting the photos of your dogs.  Jack Russells have big personalities!  Bertie was a very un-terrier like terrier. Not like the JRT beside us in our early obedience classes who peed on his owner's leg! I wish I could see a national agility competition. Those dogs have such fun.  Bertie and I got his Endurance title, then children intervened and we didn't manage any more obedience or agility work after that. Thank you, Aziraphale and Karie for thinking of me. Anne, I'm going along ok. Thank you for asking. Our other little dog is cheering up now, and starting to play again so that makes me feel better, too. anne on "Goodbye, my dear dog." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-my-dear-dog/page/2#post-1766240 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 02:33:46 +0000 anne 1766240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My sympathy Helen.

Losing a beloved pet is often as hard as losing a human. Glad to hear you are progressing through the grieving process and starting to feel better.  JAileen on "Goodbye, my dear dog." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-my-dear-dog/page/2#post-1765737 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 16:14:50 +0000 JAileen 1765737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Helen, when our first Jack Russell died a few years ago, I couldn't talk about him without crying. My neighbor and I went to the national dog agility trials held here in town. We watched, and walked around and talked to people. Everyone there had gone through it. The problem is that dogs just don't live long enough. Anyway, the more I talked about him, the easier it became. Since then, we've adopted another Jack Russell. The woman from the rescue organization was funny. "You had one and you want another?" She couldn't believe it. Anyway, the new one (we've had him for almost five years) is an absolute sweetheart.

I can at least tell people without bursting into tears. It has been comforting to know that lovely fabbers have been thinking of me. You really are the best.

I'm sure Bertie had a wonderful, loving home with you, and that he knew he was loved.  That's all a dog can ask for. Take care, and give your other little friend plenty of cuddles.

I know this is a very difficult time for you & your family, and I can't say very much to make the pain any lesser for any of you. Bertie is running wild & free in doggie heaven. His memories live on forever.....

I am so sorry for your loss, Helen. But what a wonderful thing you did giving him a home, and I'm glad you had Bertie as long as you did.

Bertie looks totally adorable. And all dogs are so special. They give so much joy and ask for so little. No wonder we love them so much.

I know you know what this feels like, and I am very grateful for those virtual hugs. My other little dog (also a rescue dog) is missing Bertie, too, I think. I guess the holidays magnify the space left by him. In a way I appreciate having this time to think and grieve. The new year with work and school and commitments will soon make life busy again. I know many of you have had your own sadness and losses this year. Thank you for comforting me in mine. Although I haven't replied individually, please know that your thoughts and words are sincerely appreciated. unfrumped on "Goodbye, my dear dog." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-my-dear-dog#post-1764138 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 23:59:19 +0000 unfrumped 1764138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So sorry ! A friend just lost their dear dog and it is hard at any time, but especially at holiday time. They also are trying to take some comfort in all the good years they had together.

The saddest thing about dogs is that they don't get to live as long as the people who love them. But they pack a lot of love into their lives. Bennett on "Goodbye, my dear dog." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodbye-my-dear-dog#post-1764106 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 20:13:22 +0000 Bennett 1764106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How lucky you and Bertie were to have found each other! What a blessing it was for him to leave in a world of love, so many animals don't get that. You obviously have a lot of love in you to share. Bertie will hopefully be one of many to reap the rewards of finding companionship with you. So sorry to know you are broken-hearted, it is an unbearably painful time you are in. Big long hug for you!
