Sad, sorry to hear. The picture reminds me on Howard's dog at em-2005, a good memory, and on Mickey, a cat I, once had & now see walking on a rooftop, in memory, they then say..

I feel with you.

So sorry, Michael. For many of us, dogs are like our children.

I am very sorry to hear about Clem. It reminds me when I lost my beloved Cosmo more than 2 years ago and I still miss him but I am sure Clem lived a nice and very long life. that's all we can ask for.

I'm so sorry to hear about this Mike.
He'll be sorely missed next time I visit the Victor home.
I know that kind of emptiness all too well from prior experience.
Think of it this way, at least he's in a better place and not suffering anymore.
You and Toni are in my thoughts and prayers.

Aaaww, he seems like he was a really nice person, it must be a grievous loss, and even though I don't know you, I'd like to extend my heart-felt condolences.
The sad thing about dogs is, they live such a short time; The upside is the seem to cram their lives full of such immense joi-de-vivre! Thanks for sharing that with us.

RIP Clem

Oh, btw, my mum (who's owned 6 dogs during my lifetime (plus one or two prior to my birth) says: Those who say "money can't buy love" can't have owned a dog!

Mike, I didn't see this sad post until now. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. That's a beautiful picture. Clem was lucky to live such a long life with such a loving a caring family, and you are certainly blessed to have had him. Our dogs teach us how to live in the moment, how to love, and how to die.

Like Jan says, I feel with you.

Thank you all for your condolences.
We have now, so soon I know ,taken ownership of another dog.
His name is Alfie.He is just 10 months old we got him from a rescue.
He will never replace our little yellow boy,but we are happy to give him a loving home.
He is a terrier mixed with Griffon.Brindle in color.
And he is very smart.
Picture to follow soon.

Great. I've lost two wonderful dogs in one year. You knew both, Sparky and Ziggie. We got Zuzu within a few weeks of Ziggie's passing. I was going to suggest getting another dog right away, but I know some people can't handle it too soon. For some, the pain of loosing a dog is so intense that they are afraid to ever go through it again.

Sure, nothing will replace the ones gone before, but they have opened paths into our hearts for the new ones.

Congrats to Alfie and the Victors. Time to buy some gallon jugs of Nature's Miracle. Very Happy
