My family’s dog died suddenly today. I’ve never known another dog like him, and I’m sure I never will again. Until he came along, I thought the stories about dogs who understand full sentences and spend all their time trying to be good were myths. Well, I was wrong. And now I can’t stop crying.

aww…honey, I’m so sorry! *hugs* I wouldn’t be able to stop crying either.
I’m so sorry. *hugs*
*hugs*
I’m so sorry to hear this. Like Courtney, I wouldn’t be able to stop crying either.
So sorry for you and your family. Toby sounds like he was a wonderful dog. I’m sorry you didn’t all get more years together.
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts are with you..
I know how hard it is to lose a beloved family dog. Cry as much as you need to for as long as you need to. I still cry occasionally when I think of our first family dog and that was over 27 years ago.
I’m so sorry. It’s heartbreaking when they’re gone. My folks’ dog was put down about 4 months ago, and I think I cried for a whole day.
He sounds like a wonderful dog. I’ve had 3 that my family has had to put down.

So sorry, Iris. :-(
Iris, I’m very sorry to hear about your dog Toby.
::hugs::
There’s nothing worse than losing a beloved furry one.
I absolutely hate this for you. Hugs to you and your family!
Oh Iris, I know this is tough… I’m so glad you had him in your life!
Toby was a great doggie! I loved him and I know how much more he meant to you and your family. I’m so sorry.
Thank you all. It’ll be weird without the big guy in our lives. And it’ll be even weirder for my mom, who’s social life is pretty entangled with the dog park ladies.
We get to have lots of dogs in our lives, but I’ve heard people say that there’s always one that stands out as *the* dog — the one that always stands out as the Best Dog Ever. Well, for me, Toby was that dog. He wasn’t our first dog, and I doubt he’ll be the last, but he’ll always stand out as my best.
You don’t know me, but I wanted to offer my sympathy. Losing a dog hurts so much, especially when you aren’t really expecting for it. You and Toby will be in my thoughts.
Thanks, Heather. The only good thing about having things like this happen suddenly is that we didn’t have to wonder “what if” we’d tried x or y treatment. This couldn’t have ended any other way, so there’s no guilt. I just wish with all my heart it hadn’t had to happen at all.
