For the last 14 years we've shared our lives with Sedona, a Golden Retreiver and the Best Pup in the World. But 14 is a long, long time in Golden years, and today we had to let her pain stop. Feeling pretty empty right now......

Wow! 14 years, you and Sedona must have treated each other right. My condolences on the loss of your friend I have no doubt a smile will be on your face each and every time your thoughts are with Sedona with all the memories that you shared.

Peter:
My condolences for your loss. We went through it with our cat a few years ago. Very upsetting, but she had cancer and was in obvious pain. We waited a couple of years before gettng another cat, but we are now thoroughly enjoying Cattabis Indica, aka Indy.
May The Four Winds Blow You Safely Home

I feel for you and yours, Peter. She will always be there for you when you remember the good times.
May you always remember the good times!

Peter,
As you know the companionship of a furry friend is unmatched on a human level. Your loss is huge and the emptiness within you is vast.
Allow yourself to grieve and honor Sedona and the vast emptiness WILL start to shrink.

My most sincere condolences. We just lost our Greyhound of >13 years. It's not easy.

After owning 3 dogs I called it a day...the trauma was too much..they are great buddies who never let you down, make you smile and sometimes leave a present in the kitchen because you forgot to take them out after you had too much beer when you got in from the pub lol...but I always forgave them 'cos it was my fault.
My condolences to you cozmik

Peter, my condolences to you. Our animal companions show their love by making a special kind of music just for us. May you carry Sedona's tune forever.

My sincere and heartfelt condolences. Our animal companions are one of the most prized treasures of our lives, and they can reach emotional spaces nothing else can fulfill. May the happy memories make Sedona live forever in your heart!

As Sedona lives on in all that knew her sending my sincere condolences.

I'm sorry fo your loss, Peter.
-
I know the loss of a family member like that. You know it's coming some day, but that never makes it easier. 14 years is a pretty good run, but that's small consolation. Any pictures to share with us?

Peter - So sorry for your loss.

Hug.

Sorry for your loss....I can't imagine life without my furry friend..

Peter, I'm sorry for your loss...I had to put my cat Spud down a four years ago and it was horrible; she'd been my one constant through relationships, jobs, homes and been from my twenties to my forties, so we had history...I have tons of stories of her fighting the dogs of the 'hood, and many are STILL scared of my house, she never lost, even against pit bulls...Thankfully I now have the lovely Emily who doesn't fight dogs and isn't as smart as Spud was, but she's really funny...she's four and still chases her tail and other silly things; keeps me laughing...

Thanks, all. Here she is in 2006:

Her name came from how closely her coat matched the red rocks at Sedona, AZ.

Beautiful! Thanks so much for posting.

The best thing about love with a pet is that it's the emotional equivalent to nuclear fusion; it grows with contact and time and becomes more than it started with and benefits everyone around...

So true. We had a parakeet that showed up in our garage. According to his band he was 3 months old and he was utterly incapable of flight. We tried to find his owner and then we just figured he found us. He became part of the family. I had never known that birds had such deep personalities. Aside from the fact that he developed a huge vocabulary (and was scarily often appropriate in its use), he had a truly wonderful soul. He was feisty as all heck (nothing like a kick in the head fly-by) but if you were out of sorts, he'd stop his shenanigans and do his best to comfort you. He'd fly onto your shoulder and say Hi baby, baby and nibble on your lip. He died unexpectedly at 5 years old (they typically live to 10) and I was just devastated. I still am. To be honest, I had no desire for a pet and I still don't but he wanted to be with us so we just had to go with it. When love presents itself, you can't turn it down.
I can tell from the look in Sedona's eyes she was a compassionate soul.

A compassionate soul indeed, Edwin. Cats & squirrels excepted, she loved every creature she met; even got along with my wife's nasty little Minature Schnauzer. And everyone she met reciprocated, even my Mom, who has no use for dogs. Wnen we went to the breeder, she was in a litter of seven; one look in the eyes and we both knew........
