Having a hard day without him

I'm having a really rough few weeks. Lots of good and bad bits but i'm very overwhelmed and drained at the moment and all I keep thinking is how much I wish my doggy was still here. He passed away 4 years ago at the age of 15. He was a lovely boy, a Pomeranian with no teeth :p They had to be taken out about 2 years before he passed so his tongue always hung out of his mouth! Funny boy.
He was very sensitive and literally cuddled me when I was sad. I wasn't with him when it happened as I was 15 myself (we got him when I was a baby) and was out riding. I came home one day to find out he had been PTS after discovery of a well developed brain tumor. We have no idea how long he had it, we just thought he was getting old. He also had poor vision bless him, but he was amazing. He had apparently been found curled up in my dressing gown on my floor and wouldn't move, wouldn't react to anything but was definitely alive and conscious.
He was my best friend and days like this are really hard without him, even 4 years later. Does anybody else ever get this? :(
I miss you Jakey

What a shame, the only thing I dislike about dogs is that they don't live long enough. I too miss the ones that have passed away. I think it is not so much a matter of getting over it as learning to live with it. He looks a lovely old gentleman and obviously had a wonderful life with you.
 
What a cute boy he was. I can tell he was loved greatly. Yes, I do know how it feels. Our beautiful cat passed away one month ago (in my signature), and these's not a day that goes by that I don't think of her and miss her.
 
You don't ever forget your heart dogs.I hope the pain gets less for you and you can remember the happy times together.I find comfort in photos of my past dogs dotted around my home.
A new dog never ever replaces the old one but really does help you to move on...I feel sad when someone tells me they will never have another dog as the last was irreplaceable.Its true,yet they are never the same,so you have to trust that the new one will win your heart and bring you happiness.
 
Gorgeous dog lass.

I don't think the wishing and the feeling of loss ever really go. Most of the time it's bearable and sits tucked away in the back of one's heart and mind, but every now and then, for some reason or no reason, the longing is back and the feeling of loss can be all consuming.

Hugs to you.
 
Oh bless you OP, these sad feelings are just a measure of how much you loved and adored him. Lucky boy to have had you, he looked like a real character (teeth or no teeth). Dogs hold a really special place in our hearts they are just the most wonderful animals. Big hugs xxx
 
Thank you all, I kind of hope I always get these waves of missing him because I get to remember him! No amount of time would ever have been enough to say goodbye but we always have memories :)

True no one can ever take your memories away.

You've been through a tough time lately (have read your other post) so missing lost loved ones whether human or animal is always more prevalent.

He looked a lovely dog and take comfort in knowing he loved you so much too x
 
Big hugs, OP, they break your heart. :(

Another Jakey who is sorely missed, PTS aged 7 with spinal/stomach cancer. I miss him loads.
