Im so sorry to hear this Rosie. my yorkshire terrier dog is ill at the moment (like me!!!!!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">) and i no it wont be long till i have to say goodbye to him. Hes 15 years old now and sleeps all day. The vet said he has a narrow wind pipe and theres nothing i can do about it. he has a really bad cough (like me) which can be funny at times, because we drive my parents mad when we start coughing at the same time!! my dad said hes copying me cos we spend so much time together.

Oh, Rosie. I'm so sorry to hear this. I LOVE dogs and have two and grew up with dogs, so I am no stranger to loosing a favorite pet. Wow... 18 1/2 years! What an amazing life your dog must have lived. He was lucky to have you, as you were him. I remember when our family pet died when I just graduated college, I checked out tons of books on pet loss in the library and found some comfort in them. May your heart (and Peanut's heart) heal.

I posted this awhile back when someone else lost their dog. So between two losses of dogs lately I thought I would include it again:
TRIBUTE TO A DOG
I remember bringing you home. You were so small and cuddly with your tiny paws and soft fur. You bounced around the room with eyes flashing and ears flopping. Once in awhile you'd let out a little yelp just to let me know this was your territory.
Making a mess of the house and chewing on everything in sight became a passion and when I scolded you, you just put your head down and looked up at me with those innocent eyes as if to say "I'm sorry, but I'll do it again as soon as you aren't looking". As you got older, you protected me by looking out the window and barking at everyone who walked by. When I had a tough day at work, you would be waiting for me with your tail wagging just to say "Welcome home, I missed you". You never had a bad day and I could always count on you to be there for me.When I sat down to read the paper and watch TV, you would hop on my lap looking for attention. You never asked for anything more than to have me pat your head so you could go to sleep with your head over my leg.
As you got older you moved around more slowly. Then one day old age finally took its toll and you couldnt stand on those wobbly legs anymore. I knelt down and patted you lying there, trying to make you young again. You just looked up at me as if to say you were old and tired and that after all these years of not asking for anything, you had to ask me to do one last favor.
With tears in my eyes, I drove you one last time to the vet. One last time you were lying next to me. For some strange reason you were able to stand up in the animal hospital -- perhaps it was your sense of pride.
As the vet led you away, you stopped for an instant, turned your head and looked at me as if to say: "Thank you for taking care of me" ~~~ I thought, "NO...thank YOU for taking care of ME!"
