Everything about this is true EXCEPT dogs don’t sleep on the bed in this household. Multiple people have fur allergies in my house and too many smaller animals in the bedroom.

Oh so true. I have had 4 in my life time and you can’t leave the room for any reason or they follow you to make sure you are coming back. The only time they really sleep heavily is when you go to bed at night other wise they never really sleep, they are always listening just in case you go out of site which means they must find you immediately.

3 months ago I let Shawnee go to the Rainbow Bridge, she was 12. A month later I had to let Skye go; she was 13. I now have my 10 year old Rebel who still acts like a puppy. I can feel the tears in my eyes but I hold on knowing the good Lord willing, I will see them again, along with all my other pets over the years.

I feel you heart break. We lost are 13 old yorkie Kiki the end of Sept. and two weeks ago we lost our 12 1/2 year old doberman Roxy. It was sudden with no notification. A heart attack! We are lost without our girls. We have one yorkie left who is 13 . I hope she is with us for a lot longer. It’s so hard because they are our children such a big part of our families. I love the doberman breed and will at some point own another one. They are an exceptional breed. We loved everything about her.
I’m so sorry for your loss!

Shelly Bailey Coming I too know how you feel. Thank you for sharing. My 3 dobie kids were/are my family and gave me strength when I had a 6 yr. battle with cancer. I’m well now and want to make the loss as easy as possible on Rebel. He still goes out and I know looks for them. My prayers to you for strength.
