I lost Snowflake... The love of my life. She was almost 11yrs old bk labmix... She was with us from the beginning of our camping times...

So sorry to hear that. You have my deepest condolences. (Maybe a mod can move this to the correct forum more folks can see it.)Scott

It's sad they live just a short time, they do add to our lives.

You have my deepest condolences. As hard it it is, keep your focus on the good times that were had. This may help:THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF AN EXTREMELY DISTINGUISHED DOGI, DOG , because of the burden of my illness and realizing the end of my life is near, do hereby bury my Last Will and Testament in the mind of my Master. She will not know it is there until after I am dead. Then, remembering me in her loneliness, she will suddenly know of this testament, and I ask her to inscribe it as a memorial to me.I have little in the way of material things to leave. Dogs are wiser than men. They do not set great store upon things. They do not waste their days hoarding property. They do not ruin their sleep worrying about how to keep the objects they have not. There is nothing of value I have to bequeath except my love and my faith. These I leave to all those who have loved me, to my Master, who I know will mourn me the most, but if I should list all those who have loved me, it would force my Master to write a book. Perhaps it is vain of me to boast when I am so near death, which returns all beasts and vanities to dust, but I have always been an extremely exceptional dog.I ask my Master to remember me always but not to grieve for me too long. In my life I have tried to be a comfort to her in time of sorrow and a reason for added joy in her happiness. It is painful for me to think that even in death I should cause her pain. Let her remember that, while no dog ever had a happier life, I have now grown ill and pained. I should not want my pride to sink to a bewildered humiliation. It is time for me to say "good-bye". It will sorrow me to leave her but not sorrow me to die. Dogs do not fear death as men do. We accept it as part of life, not as something alien and terrible which destroys life. What will come to me after death? I will be in a place where one is always young; where I will someday be joined by companions I have known in life; where I will romp in lovely fields with those that have gone before me; where every hour is mealtime; where in long evenings there are fireplaces with logs forever burning, and one curls oneself up and remembers the old brave days on earth and the love of one's Master.This is much to expect but peace, at least, is certain, and a long rest for these weakened limbs. And eternal sleep is perhaps, after all, the best.One last request I earnestly make. I ask her, for love of me to have another. It would be a poor tribute to my memory never to have another DOG. What I would like to feel is that, having once had me, she cannot live without one! I have never had a narrow spirit. I have always held that most dogs are good. Some dogs are better than others--like me--and so I suggest a rescue dog. She can hardly be as well bred or as mannered or as distinguished and beautiful as I, but my Master must not ask the impossible. She will do her best, I am sure, and even her inevitable defects will help keep my memory green. To her I bequeath my collar and leash. I leave her my place in the car which I loved so much and wish for her long rides with open windows.One last word of farewell, dear Master. Whenever you think of me, say to yourself with regret but also with happiness in your heart at the remembrance of my happy life with you, "She is the one who loved us and whom we loved." No matter how deep my sleep, I shall hear you, and not all the power of death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail.

So very sorry for your loss......

I knew Snowflake was getting old so last July I decided to take a new puppy that was dropped off here.... He is a really good dog and has helped me tremendous... His whole personally has changed now that he's head dog... I miss Snowflake more than you can imagine but Pup is lying here now at my feet and it's helping me emotional... There's never been anyone to come back except Frankenstein so I just got to accept that... I really cherish all and everyone who has wrote condolences... Thanks again.

Vet told me today that Snowflake probably died when the blood clot in her hip that was causing her paralysis gave way and caused her to die of a heart attack... At least she didn't just give up on life etc. She fought the long battle until she had no chance.
